I like history too but I don't watch much television so most of the programming I'm not familiar with at all.

You're not missing anything. There really is more trash than good.

Absolutely!

I do have a weakness for good movies - especially British drama! Don't know what it is but I think it's something to do with that English accent and style of movie making. Makes me feel very comfortable and "at home" even though I'm already at home. LOL.

I was big on romantic comedies.

None of this looks good to you?

the history channel

I guess I am just different! Because I actually thought the show ICE ROAD TRUCKERS was interesting.

Some of the trucks go through the ice and plummet to the bottom--had footage of underwater rigs and the underwater divers who recover them.

Well, being married to a Phillippino and having interactions with a lot of them both in and out of the Church, there is something that I have found out.

Teaching of Ethics, Accountability, and the evils of Gossip should be a requirement of every new convert over there.

Thank God we at our Church had good teaching on this.

The cuss words on the preview were enough to remind me most of TV is junk.

Back in 1970 when I was 11 years old I rode with my dad in his big Mack semi hauling the first exploratory camp trailers up to the North Slope. We drove to within 50 miles of the arctic ocean from Fairbanks, Alaska. At one Eskimo village we stopped at I was the first white kid the Eskimo kids had ever seen except on TV.

There was no "road" we were driving on ground cleared by big dozer's. We also had to drive our big Semi with it's 40' flatbed trailer with a mobile home on it over the Yukon river and other rivers many, many times as the rivers twisted around in our path a lot. I was scared out of my mind riding in that big rig as it drove over the ice of the Yukon river.

We ended up in a blizzard and were stranded for days until the search airplane saw us and they sent the big D9 Cat dozers to dig us out. What was supposed to be a three or four day trip turned into 9 days. What an adventure!
