Classic TV

I'm into "Doc Martin" nowadays. I was an avid "Eastenders" fan until BBC America stopped showing it.

[Chavster]

A good friend of mine lives in the village that Doc Martin is filmed in. Port Isaac, in Cornwall. Very pretty place. Boring as hell, but pretty.

[tomgallagher]

Very cool. They are filming their 5th season as we speak, I believe.

I saw them shooting some scenes from "Lewis" when I was in Oxford.

    Long live the Captain!!!

[Ming the Merciless]

When Ming was a mere child, and had not seized the throne, He recalls: "Boston Blackie," "Your Show of Shows," "Hopalong Cassidy," "Howdy Doody" (Clarabelle was My court jester for some time until a too-topically satirical shtick... well, let's just say Clarabelle is not with Us anymore).

OK.  Milk (semi-skimmed),no sugar and McVitie's chocolate digestives, please.   

[Chavster]

You didnt strike me as a semi-skimmed kind of guy

I only use regular (full fat) milk, but not to worry, I'll send my butler out to the Piggly Wiggly Albertsons Kroger Ralphs Vons A&P Tesco to buy some, along with some digestives

I dont drink hot drinks though, so I'll just have a diet coke

[tomgallagher]

I take it that Piggly Wiggly is no more.?

I think they're still around in the south and midwest.

Last one I knew of closed years ago in the Crescent City. 

On TV--no one's mentioned my favorite--Rocky and Bullwinkle.  I wish they'd do reruns.

[Laser Man]

Since the topic of Brit TV came up, I'll add in "Yes, Minister" / "Yes, Prime Minister" and the whole Inspector Morse series as favorites. 

By the way, McVitie's Plain Chocolate Whole Wheat Biscuits are great.  There's a store near me that sells them, but I can't bring my self to pay $5 for a sleeve of cookies>
