    Call the Midwife - BBC

    I read it's being picked up for a 2nd season on BBC with 8 episodes which will air there next spring or early summer, which means we'll probably get it next fall. Yes, there were too many holes in the story line that need to be developed more for it to end this way! And I hope they bring back...

    Call the Midwife - BBC

    The final episode for season 1 aired yesterday (Sunday). They're all available to watch on pbs.org, though. That's how I've been watching it, actually, because the air time conflicts with another show, heh. I like to turn on the cc captioning so I can pick up everything being said in thick...

    Return to "normal" tv.

    This is why I thank my lucky stars for caller ID. 99.9% of the calls we get lately are robocalls. If I don't recognize the phone number, I don't pick up, period. We have a hotly contested senate seat here and all of the commercials on TV have been about this. I haven't seen a...

    RIP, the movie theater?

    I love going out to a movie.....but the problem my husband and I find is that the movies coming out these days are crap, and aren't worth going to see in a theater. A few years ago an old-time theater here (The World Theater) was purchased by a new non-profit group, rennovated back to its...

    Call the Midwife - BBC

    I'm surprised I don't see a thread devoted to this show - anyone watching it? I love it so far but every episode is such a tear jerker that I have to make sure to have tissues at hand! (or am I just overly emotional?) The one nitpik I have for period authenticity is the main character, Jenny...

    people watching at the 1939 Worlds Fair in color!

    Thanks for posting! I always love these windows into the past showing real people and not stylized actors and models.

    No problem, I had actually just watched it a few months ago so knew where to find it. :)

    Wartime Farm - reality show

    I love these types of shows too! Can't get enough of them. I know there are others that have been filmed in other countries, I think there was one done in Australia called "Outback House" but I can't find it anywhere online to watch. In Canada they had "Pioneer Quest" that I saw bits and...

    Wartime Farm - reality show

    I know! While I enjoyed watching it, I was also peeved at them the whole time. I mean seriously, what did they think they were signing up for? Did they honestly not know, or did the producers not tell them much on purpose to enhance the drama of it all? I'm thinking the latter. Or they just...

    Wartime Farm - reality show

    That is so cool that you live so close to it! I'd love to visit some day, and the other sites used like Acton Farm in Shropshire.

    Wartime Farm - reality show

    Yes, the "House" shows were made with more of a reality show bent to them, focusing more on the culture shock, fish-out-of-water scenario of 21st century people having to live in a way they were unaccustomed to and "however will they survive the ordeal?" These "Farm" shows do away with all that...

    The Early to Mid 1970s: The Last Gasps of the Golden Era

    All you have to do is watch the first few seasons of All In The Family to see that vestiges of the "Golden Era" were still alive and well in the mid 70's.

    Underage drinking

    I think a lot of the problem in the U.S. is that drinking for teens/young adults is less of a way to simply enhance socializing, and more of a contest of sorts...."look how much drunker I am than you, ha ha ha" sort of thing. They try to out do each other by seeing how messed up they can get...

    I'm about to draw myself a bath, and...

    I haven't taken a bath in an actual bathtub since I was a kid. I prefer showers. If the tub is full of soapy water, how do you rinse it all off? Or are you supposed to? ::scratches head::

    Random Historical Photographs

    Is it just me, or does Goebbels look....tiny? Was he really that short or was it just the angle of the shot?

    Wartime Farm - reality show

    Wasn't sure where to put this because it would fit in both Moving Pictures, WWII and Golden Era forums so feel free to move it if appropriate, Mods. BBC living history series detailing rural farm life in WWII era Britain. It's available to watch in episodes on Youtube; this is the link to...

    The safest state to live

    Wow, how did Nebraska not make that list? Nothing ever happens here. At least not in the central part of the state.
