No one disliked awesome stories with female leads. These stories aren’t awesome. They exist merely to virtue signal and that’s what people hate.

Yeah, see Silence of the Lambs. Jodie Foster, female lead, awesome story and a great movie.

I have almost run out of my happy shows like Barnwood Builders and American Pickers. I try to get away from all the negative shit sometimes. You guys have any other shows that fit that mold? I'm not looking for fiction.

I think you're on the right track with those. I still like some of the older Holmes construction shows because even though he can be an ass, they actually did construction. Now all the DIY type shows are just covert reality shows about the personalities of the couples. (Including the newer Holmes ones with his dumb kids.) And the new ones mostly do decorating and antique hunting, not building and solving structural problems.

I still love history documentaries, too, especially Cold War era stuff. Hard to beat those. There's a "Secrets of War" series on Pluto Military channel narrated by Charlton Heston that is great and has stuff I've never seen or heard before, even though I like that stuff.

I watch a lot of documentaries. But even those can be depressing sometimes. I rarely watch "tv shows" anymore because most of them are stupid as shit anymore. Have you ever watched Maine Cabin Masters? It's one I am thinking about trying.

Yes, it's kind of lame imo. It's a lot better than when they first started, though.

On the home improvement stuff, it's kind of hard to beat This Old House. At least you can learn some things.

I've been watching old shows on Roku or Pluto. It's still fiction, but not nearly as stupid as the drivel put out today.

I'm a lifelong Texan, sir. (Except for a year at the U of Arkansas.)

I have spent quite a bit of time in Oklahoma but I've never been to Ada. That's @Sheik 's stomping ground.

Sorry but if you pull for OU you are lumped into that state.

The gas station where the abduction happened is still here, not sure if it’s the same building or not.

You are on step away from having those old shows like that being served to you along with a pudding cup, old man.

Step off gramps. I'm like a young colt compared to you.

Now how about an update on Farmer Wants a Wife?

Anybody watching Shogun on Hulu? Did you watch the original series? I was too young to really enjoy TV at the time. I had more important things to do like jumping ramps on my 12 speed and staying out until the lights came on. If you seen the original (i do remember my parents watching it) I was wondering how its standing up.

Anyways really enjoying it so far. Ive liked all the roles that Hiroyuki Sanada has played and he isnt disappointing me yet.

You had a 12 speed in 1980? I didn't even know they made them then. I'd only heard of 10 speeds. And even so, all I had was a dirt bike at that age.

Did you jump over any police cars?

12 or 10. It was so long ago I don't remember.

Looked it up because I was curious but at least 1 company started making them in the mid 70s.

Very well could have been 12 and why I've always referred to that type of bike as 12 speeds.

Not every ramp jump was made by hostile.
