Alright, let’s yak about them TV shows, the ones that start with the letter “N”. You know, like on that there telly box. Folks always lookin’ for somethin’ to watch, so I’m gonna tell ya ’bout some of ’em. We ain’t got no fancy cable out here in the sticks, but I hear tell of these shows from the grandkids.
Now, first off, some folks are all gaga over “Game of Thrones”. Heard it’s got knights and dragons and whatnot. Lots of fightin’ and carryin’ on, I reckon. Sounds like a mess to me, all them families squabblin’ over who gets to sit on the pointy chair. But them young’uns, they eat it up like candy.
- “The Nanny” – This one’s a bit different, more light-hearted, ya know? About some gal who loses her job and her fella, then ends up lookin’ after some rich fella’s kids. Sounds like a fish outta water story, like that time old Bessie’s hen got into the pigpen. Chaos, I tell ya, pure chaos! But I hear tell it’s funny. Folks like a good laugh, I guess.
Then there’s this “NOS4A2” show. Scary stuff, this one. About some fella who ain’t quite right, takin’ somethin’ from kids. Don’t sit right with me, that kinda thing. But some folks like bein’ scared, I suppose. Reminds me of that old hoot owl used to perch outside my window, starin’ at me with them big eyes. Gave me the shivers, it did.
Now, when you’re lookin’ for a good show, you gotta think about what you like. Some folks like them shows that go on forever, others like the short ones. Me? I like a good story that wraps up nice and neat. Don’t want no loose ends hangin’ around, like that old yarn I was knittin’ last winter. Still ain’t finished it!
There’s this website, Metacritic they call it, that tells ya which shows are good. They got a whole list of ’em, ranked and everything. But I say, don’t listen to them city folk. You gotta watch it for yourself and see if you like it. Everybody’s got different tastes, like them fancy city folks with their strange eatin’ habits. Who ever heard of puttin’ avocado on toast?
They keep makin’ new shows all the time, too. This year they got some new ones, like “Black Doves” and that “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew”. Don’t know nothin’ ’bout them, but I hear tell they’re popular. Seems like there’s always somethin’ new to watch. Makes my head spin, all this choosin’. Back in my day, we had one channel, and that was that! Now you got a thousand channels and nothin’ good on, they say. Go figure.
- Then there’s all them places you can watch these shows. You got your Netflix, your Hulu, and all sorts of other things. It’s like a whole ‘nother world out there, on that there internet. My grandkid tried to show me how to use it once, but it was just too much for my old brain. Too many buttons and gizmos. I’ll stick to my radio, thank you very much.
- Some folks are into them shows about doctors and lawyers, others like the ones about space aliens and such. Me? I like a good story about real people, folks you can relate to. Like that show about the family that runs the farm. Reminds me of home. Even though it’s all pretend, it feels real somehow.
Anyways, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to watch that starts with the letter “N”, you got plenty of choices. Just gotta poke around and see what tickles your fancy. And don’t let nobody tell ya what to watch. You watch what you want, and don’t let nobody tell ya it’s silly. It’s your time, and you can spend it however you please. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens. They get mighty grumpy if they ain’t fed on time.
“Netflix” itself is a big deal, so is “NCIS”. That “NCIS” show is always on, seems like. My neighbor, she’s got it on all the time. Says she likes the crime and the mystery and all that. Me, I like a good Western, but they don’t make many of them anymore. Too much shootin’ and fightin’, I guess. Folks like things a little more civilized these days.
So, there you have it. A whole mess of shows that start with “N”. Go on and find one that you like. And if you don’t like it, well, there’s always somethin’ else to watch. Just don’t spend all day starin’ at that telly box. Go outside and get some fresh air every now and then. It’ll do ya good.
