TUNE IN!

I really liked the questions for the Sunday Stealin' this week. To learn how to join in, head over to this blog. 


This week we're stealing from Christina at Call Me Patsy. Back in 2008, she said this was the TV meme "that everyone has been doing." Well, we don't like to be left out.




Tune In

1. Name a TV show you've seen every episode of:

There are 4: Knots Landing (from the 80s/90s);  Downton Abbey (Netflix); Friends(1994-2004)  Law and Order SVU (NBC or Peacock from 1999-present) 

2. On which device do you do most of your viewing (television, tablet, computer, phone)?

for Law and Order SVU: television every Thursday evening; for most of my movie viewing: Macbook laptop via one of our many streaming services

3. Name an actor/actress who would make you less likely to watch a show.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Brad Pitt

4. When you were a kid, what show did you love?

There were several. Believe it or not I loved Gunsmoke but I think it's because my daddy watched it faithfully and would let me sit with him and watch it.  That and Bonanza because I had a crush on Michael Landon.

Other shows I loved as a teen (we weren't allowed to watch much other than holiday movies/cartoons when we were under age 12): Little House on the Prairie; The Partridge Family; Petticoat Junction; Beverly Hillbillies; The Waltons; Mash; Laverne and Shirley. I honestly didn't have time as a teen to watch much television but in the summer months we would watch reruns of these. 

5. What show do you recommend everyone watch

Law and Order SVU with my hero Olivia Benson

6. What show do your friends like, but you don't?

Doctor Who

7. When you watch TV, do you also busy yourself with something else (jigsaw puzzle, folding laundry, etc.)?

If I'm watching something on Netflix during the late morning, I'm usually prepping veggies for dinner or folding laundry or sometimes paying bills. 

In the evening if I'm watching a movie with hubby, I'm usually just curled up next to him. During commercials (like on Hulu!) I'll do my French lesson on Duolingo.

8. Do you eat a meal or snack while watching TV?

Not usually but sometimes we do a "Friday night couch picnic" where we eat something simple or get take out and watch a movie. We do this mainly in the winter months. When the girls were living here and we would all watch a movie, especially at Christmas, we would often have drinks and cookies or popcorn. 

9. What's your preferred genre (comedy, drama, reality, etc.)?

Drama

10. Do you prefer mini series (shows that tell their stories in a pre-determined number of episodes) or shows that come back season after season?

I do prefer mini series I can watch on Netflix/Hulu, etc but the one show I watch season after season is Law and Order SVU. 


HAPPY SUNDAY!!
