Do you have any interest in the retro channels, @Goodie2shoes ?  For anyone bored with contemporary TV, I always recommend the plentiful classics available--   "Perry Mason",   "The Fugitive",  "Rockford Files", "Mannix",  "Barney Miller". 

 

In general, I find many of them superior to today's fare.  Even if you've seen them all in the past, many do richly reward a re-discovery....

More and more, @Goodie2shoes, I listen to audiobooks instead of watching tv.  I have probably watched every Law and Order rerun 100 times over:/

I watch very little on cable.  It's getting less and less every year.  Just waiting for the last season of Young Sheldon.  When surfing channels, it's all repeats and the same show pops up on different channels.  Used to watch House Hunters but for some reason not so much.  Maybe just bored of it?  If it wasn't for internet, we would of discontinued with cable TV a long time ago.

@Goodie2shoes 

 

Yes, it is hard to find interesting things to watch.  

 

The Traitors is fun.  The Floor with Rob Lowe.  I love all the Gordon Ramsay shows.  Worst Cooks is a lot of fun.  The Kids Baking Competition.  Lottery Dream Homes.

 

I don't know if you care for these kind of shows but lately I've been watching all of these which are so-called reality shows:  Southern Charm (there are 2 or 3 different versions), Winter House, Summer House.  Some of these have some of the some people  in them.

I have Direct TV and there's nothing on....BUT...I discovered by accident the other day that "ER" ( the hospital show) is being rerun, 6-7 episodes back to back on the POP channel in the mornings.....(can't recall the channel number...)

 

 

It's from the mid 1990s to mid 2000s.......was a good show,then, but it looks so dated now....

 

@Othereeeen  I watched that series while George Clooney and Julianne Margulies were on. Loved it.
