As some of you know, I cancelled Sky back in Feb. So here I was with the afternoon off today and, instead of enjoying the lovely weather, I settled down in front of my laptop to watch the final 2 episodes of Magnum P.I. Now, although I was a regular MPI watcher back in the 80s, I never got to see the final 2 episodes screened some time in 1988 (probably because back in 1988 I was in my early 20s and out on the lash most evenings ).

The mighty neo liberal steam roller that crushed all before it from the 1980s to the beginning of the new millennium has morphed in recent years into a Charlie Carioli clown car that now can not go two yards without loud bangs, smoke pouring out of the engine and the doors dropping off.

"Last year, my MP's second home claim was £5,000 more than my total salary and now I find out that he's trying to charge me for cleaning his swimming pool!"

I watched all episodes from all seasons (DVD boxset) a couple of years ago, it certainly was great fun, they don't do TV series like this anymore.
Another one I watched recently was The Rockford Files, it's vaguely similar to Magnum P.I. and almost as much fun.
Owe no man anything but to love one another.

I would out Hawaii 5-0 in the same camp. And what was that weird one with the bloke living in a caravan outside his half-built house? And it's not Alan Partridge...
Eta it was Petrocelli. Haven't seen it for ages and I wonder if it's stood the test of time...

Yep, Rockford Files was another great one... apparently Tom Selleck appeared in a few episodes of that too.. as a private investigator!

Amazing! Bring 'em all back I say!
Life was so much simpler then. For example, take a look at a selection of headlines from the Main Forum - back in the 80s I would have had no clue about any of them and ignorance was BLISS!!

Unfortunately, today, all those topics make perfect sense to me!

From the late 1990s I really liked Season 2 of Stargate SG-1, which I saw fairly recently on DVD.

There isn't a lot of contemporary stuff I'll watch.
QI, Horizon, Through The Worm Hole, Top Gear. The quality of BBC Four is way above average, but the rest, especially the reality and lifestyle shows, you can keep.
One contemporary show I do like is Suits. This got a lot of promotion and in my opinion desevedly so. It has the feel of one of those classic 70's or 80's series but in a modern context.
Missed a couple of episodes, which I regret now, but hopefully they will repeat. This show has been worth watching,

The 25 Most Dangerous People In Financial Media
There are some things that men must do in order that they remain as men.
It's not what you know, it's what you can prove in court. Didn't you tell me that once?
It is the duty of all good men to nurture the seed of self-destruction that lies at the core of every evil.
The biggest delusion that humans suffer is to abrogate their powers to others then expect something other than despair.
