Alright, alright, lemme tell ya ’bout them TV shows, the ones the young’uns are always yappin’ about. They call ’em the “best,” huh? I don’t know ’bout “best,” but I’ll tell ya what I heard and what seems kinda interesting, ya know?
First off, there’s this thing called “My Best Day 2024” on that Net-flick thingy. Sounds like a whole lotta fuss to me. People makin’ up their “best day” and puttin’ it online. Kinda like them picture books my grandbaby looks at, but, ya know, for grown-ups. I guess it’s fun if you ain’t got nothin’ better to do. If you wanna watch it, go ahead, but don’t come cryin’ to me if it ain’t all that great.
Then there’s this show ’bout vampires. Vampires! Can ya believe it? Back in my day, vampires were just stories to scare the kids. Now they got whole shows ’bout ’em. This one’s called… uh… somethin’ ’bout New Orleans and blood. Anne Rice, that’s the lady who wrote it, or so they say. Fancy name, huh? Anyway, it’s on that AMC channel. My neighbor, Martha, she watches it. Says it’s spooky, but kinda pretty too. I don’t know, all that blood and fangs ain’t my cup of tea. But if you like that kinda stuff, give it a whirl.
- Vampires? Spooky!
- New Orleans? Fancy place!
- AMC? That’s the channel, I think.
Now, this next one’s a bit… strange. It’s got that fella, the one who played that iron man in them superhero movies. Robert Downey Junior, that’s his name. He’s playin’ like four different people in this one show, and they say it’s all ’bout… uh… white people bein’ better than everyone else. White supremacy, they call it. Sounds like a load of hogwash to me. But folks are sayin’ he’s good in it. I don’t get it, but hey, what do I know? Maybe it’s one of them shows you gotta watch to understand.
Then there’s a whole bunch of other shows. One’s called “Disclaimer,” sounds important. Another one’s “Nobody Wants This,” probably ’bout love or somethin’. And then there’s “Shogun,” that one’s ’bout Japan, way back when. Samurai and all that. My grandson, Billy, he likes them samurai shows. Says they’re cool. I just hope they ain’t too much fightin’. I get enough headaches as it is.
They say these shows are from all over. Some are set in fancy places like New York City, others in places I ain’t never heard of, like Manhattan, but not the one in New York, another one, in Kansas I think. And one even takes place in Ireland, Belfast, in the 1970s. Heck, I don’t even know where half these places are! But I guess that’s the point, right? Seein’ new things, learnin’ ’bout different places and times. Even if it’s all just make-believe.
So, there ya have it. The “best” TV shows, or so they say. Some sound alright, some sound downright silly. But hey, it’s your time you’re wastin’, not mine. If you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to watch, maybe give one of these a try. Just don’t expect me to understand it all. I’m just an old woman, ya know? I prefer sittin’ on the porch, watchin’ the chickens and drinkin’ sweet tea.
Anyways, them young’uns keep saying’ streaming this and streaming that. Back in my day if we wanted water we went to the well not to some fancy machine, and if you wanted to watch a show you watched what was on the darn TV set no pickin’ and choosin’ what you wanted to watch when you wanted it! If ya ask me young people got it too easy nowadays.
And another thing, too much TV ain’t good for ya. Rots your brain they say. You best get outside get some fresh air, go for a walk. That’s what I do and I feel pretty good for my age. Better than these couch potatoes who sit around all day watching their stories! Well, that’s enough for me. I need a nap now.
