Binge watching. It began when I was a little girl and would get up in the middle of the night to see if Jerry Lewis was really still on the Labor Day Telethon.* Then, around 2010, I started watching the Law and Order marathons on TNT. Ever since, I've been hooked. Psych, NCIS -- when I fell in love with my TV boyfriend, Mark Harmon -- Friends, L&O: SVU, The Golden Girls ... I've enjoyed watching them all, one episode after the other.
Tonight I watched back-to-back episodes of Magnum, PI, and I loved it!
*He never disappointed me. Jerry was always there, screeching like a monkey and putting an entire glass in his mouth before introducing a plate spinner.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

I do a lot of TV binging in the summer! This summer I've been watching a lot of SVU on demand, but I am running out of episodes! Maybe I'll try Psych next?
ReplyDeleteI binged on the BBC's Wallander with Kenneth Brannagh. What a great show.
ReplyDeleteWe always watch the NCIS marathons. I think we have seen each episode about 6 times now. We are new Law & Order watchers and I am happy to find them in marathons too.
