All Creatures Great and Small

catter70 — Sun, 07 Jan 2024 17:22:14 GMT

Just a reminder that the new season of "All Creatures" airs tonight at 9 p.m. ET on PBS. I watched this new season back in Oct. and the Christmas season Finale on Dec. 21st. To me, this is one of the best shows ever on TV. I've also been watching the original series from th 80's, starring Timothy Christopher as James Herriot (Alf Wight).

@catter70 Thanks for the reminder, and I agree it is one of the best shows on TV. I loved the original and thought the new version wouldn't live up to it, but I'm loving it!

It is scheduled to tape on my DVR and I look forward to another great season. I always look forward to the many series Masterpiece Theater offers. Along with All Creatures Great and Small, the first episode of Miss Scarlet and the Duke will be on for another season of excellence. It is always a pleasure to watch Masterpiece and has been for decades.

I got a kick out of PBS advertising its Sunday night lineup on CBS Sunday Morning today.

Where proud seniors gather!

Completely agree @catter70 this is an excellent show and one of my top favorites.

I also like Miss Scarlet and the Duke and look forward to seeing both! I wonder if they will end up together?? I'm not sure but can't wait to see what happens.

@DSD2 Just adore the Duke character, so easy on the eyes. It will be interesting to see who calls Uncle first between Scarlet and The Duke.

On All Creatures Great & Small, I'll miss Tristan as a regular in Season 4 since he'll be off at war.

Yes, I can't envision the show without Tristan! I'm going to try and be optimistic though...

Love this program. Wish it was on for another hour. Goes by so fast. Miss Scarlet is good too but dislike the way they film it with a smokey background. Bothers my eyes.

That's exactly right. It flies by! And so do the 6 weekly episodes. (I think it's 6). Too few whatever the number!

I wonder if maybe "Tristan" is off making a new Durrell's episode??? Works for me if he is.

It's been so long ago & I'm not sure if I actually watched it all, but in the 70's version of the series, did Tristan go off to fight in WWII?

All I remember is him coming and going a lot.

I love how caring they are about the animals.

Back in the 40's and 50's, don't ever remember going or hearing about vets for animals. I lived in SF. If our dog had worms, my dad gave it a clove of garlic. It cured the dog.

Today we know, garlic not good for dogs. It cured the dog.

I just wish the vets I have encounted after covid are as concerned. On my third one since Nov. Seems all they want is money.

I love this program and wish, except for the war, people were still caring about each other and honest.

I know its a program, but I grew up back then and we had problems, but people were more caring on the whole.

TV programs were a time to laugh and gather together as a family. Not like today's programs, with violence. No one sits together after dinner, let alone having dinner together.

Sorry, but everything a mess today with families, not all, but most.

This program calms me, because not much I can watch at my age that doesn't upset me. I like PBS.

If you're a fan of All Creatures Great & Small, you might enjoy watching a YouTube channel called The Hoof GP. It's a young guy named Graeme Parker & the guys that work for him trimming dairy cow's hooves on farms in SW Scotland. The scenery is stunning & he's a charming guy. I certainly never thought I'd enjoy watching a guy trimming cow's hooves, but he has over 2 million subscribers, so he's doing something right!

This is Graeme:
