Hi there
to everybody who is getting totally fed up with modern TV with its mindless sets of "Reality Shows",endless puerile quiz games and incredibily awful "Celebs" -- you can take a "Blast into the past" by getting some excellent DVD's from British TV when plots were written by people who actually had talent and didn't assume their audience had an IQ of about 7.
Some examples --Department S --Peter Wyngarde -- you'd just die for the dress styles those people had back then
Edgar Wallace -- excellent writer
ITV's world beating "Armchair Theatre" series
etc etc
Network DVD
I already enjoy some of the Older US series too such as "The Invaders - Roy thinnes", 77 Sunset strp etc. You'll have to get the classic US shows from a different site though --not sure if they have an equivalent to the UK site though as back then there were only 2 channels in the UK and copyright was easier to manage..
Take a trip back to nostalgia if you watched some of these back in your youth. If you never saw some of these then you should have a look and see how BAD TV has become these days -- OK the technics are better but a good story line is STILL 100% THE MOST IMPORTANT hence the popularity of channels like TCM (Turner Classic Movies).
Enjoy.
I love Peter Wyngards "Tache" and hairstyle --can't grow those myself one like that myself though.
