We could always get PBS, not always good reception though, but we lived fairly close to the Maine border and we got PBS channels from there. I first discovered Sesame Street from PBS and watched the series Roots when it was first broadcast, Also during the final months of my last pregnancy we watched Watergate in the evenings right up to the onset of my labourin October 1973 We loved masterpiece theatre with Allistar Cook? The greatest kids programn was the Electric Company. My youngest son taught himself to read from it. PBS was a great influence on my family. Today I don't watch tv much, but I like to fall asleep with the noise of it in the background. It provides a comforting familiarity. I like reality shows. It sometime is sort of theraphy in a way especially if I can identify with some sort of behaviour of my own. Today we have cable.<br />Annme ann my camerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06083671096943783249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618685271512418876.post-19787743503700259572010-03-14T12:49:41.202-04:002010-03-14T12:49:41.202-04:00i like PBS..i don't listen to the radio but i ...i like PBS..i don't listen to the radio but i should...To let you know I was here reading and catching up....MichelleRambling Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080120317890707767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618685271512418876.post-1851819284058509452010-03-12T23:00:12.892-05:002010-03-12T23:00:12.892-05:00I listen to NPR everyday, mostly Soundcheck, Fresh...I listen to NPR everyday, mostly Soundcheck, Fresh Air (& Prairie Home Companion once in a while), & anything else that's on when I happen to be in my car.<br />& on TV, I love the Office & 30 Rock because they always make me laugh. Mostly I'd rather watch a movie I've rented than regular TV. But, blogging & reading is my favorite entertainment. Most nights I'd rather visit blogs than watch TV.<br />Listening to Jazz sounds like a great way to fall asleep.dianasfaria.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488357854017358868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618685271512418876.post-54574860528016758692010-03-12T16:30:39.821-05:002010-03-12T16:30:39.821-05:00Good that you still have broadcasting good music. ...Good that you still have broadcasting good music.

My...Bobbie - which 'Britcoms' do you watch? My favourite TV shows are normally football (what you might call 'soccer') on Sat. nights; anything about religion or conspiracies (usually about mad-hatters!) on one of the documentary channels; or our nightly current affairs show, 'Newsnight'. I do have to see quite lot of The Simpsons and Futurama, as the kids like them (er...so do I...I know they are a bit vulgar)) and Frasier is very funny. The BBC often does some good music shows on Friday nights for us muso buffs, if I can get the kids to let me watch them. Mrs. Bear's favourite programme is 'Supernatural', a US show shown on the CW over with you.I think it's pretty good, though you may think it's awful. TV, in general, is hopeless. I used to listen to the radio all night long in the days when I couldn't sleep - some fine discussions go on at 3am! There's always Fox News if you want a good laugh!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618685271512418876.post-44807871637450160982010-03-12T10:34:26.758-05:002010-03-12T10:34:26.758-05:00I was just thinking about this and I realized the ...I was just thinking about this and I realized the only time I ever listened to the radio was when I was driving and now that I dont have a car I dont listen to the radio ... as for TV ..
