[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1097906, member: 17953"] I like to listen to Sirius XM Channel 148 when I'm driving. They have old radio shows from the late 30s into the early 50s. The Green Hornet is one of them. I listened to it when I was a kid, before we had a TV, back in the 40s. We got our first TV in about 1955 if I recall correctly. Every evening, when I was through with chores, and had eaten dinner, I'd listen to the shows that were on. Since we had an old radio in the barn, on weekends when I was working out there, I'd have the shows on too. Real nostalgia for old guys like me. Early on, when we got a TV, movies with Laurel & Hardy were big time. My favorite was, I believe called "Horn." When Oliver heard a horn, he'd go berserk. It was hilarious. Now, my viewing habits have changed dramatically. Mostly foreign movies & TV, and some of the stuff I've been directly and indirectly involved on, as well as movies that are written and/or directed by friends and family. Lots of things lacking in today's American offerings, mainly because money gets in the way of being able to put together productions that are worth viewing, unless they are big budget. My wife got me interested in watching food shows like The Great British Baking show. There are some interesting concoctions that novice bakers come up with in what's an inordinately short period of time to succeed. I have some friends who are also involved in British TV shows. One is Kris Marshall, who was on Death in Paradise and now Beyond Paradise. Many years ago, I had the opportunity of meeting Martin Clunes, who starred in Doc Martin in a British TV show. The British actors are so accomplished it's amazing. They can do character portrayals that boggle one's mind. Didn't really talk to Clunes, because we were in a group, and it was more of an introduction but not a meet and greet. It was a private party at the home of a mutual friend in London. I have a 3rd cousin who was involved in Murdoch Mysteries out of Canada for a number of years, behind the scenes, and another who was a champion on Jeopardy, who won a lot of money. Lots of family involved in various show business activities. My work, behind the scenes, and as a consultant, helping to ensure police procedure is correct in offerings, along with helping formulate specific dialogue for scenes based on police involvement. You'd be surprised at how often mistakes are made because writers and those who are working as advisors miss things based on specifics related to geography. It's been a fun journey. Not much I'd change along the way. [/QUOTE]
