Ah, television yet again.   I have such a cultural hole in my life it seems.

I confess to Magnum P.I. and Miami Vice back in the day.  Justified and The Americans in recent years.

I've never followed pop culture as closely as the celebs want us all to.  Probably because I learned very early in life that those people and the things they do have ZERO IMPACT in any aspect of my life.

The closest they ever came to influencing my decisions was when I took a date, or went with a group of friends, to a movie.  Of course, it was the venue that mattered more than the movie itself.

I watched and enjoyed both of those shows. Good stuff.   :thumbsup:

Okay, their propaganda, ideological BS and big money have an impact on politics and policies.  But, as far as my personal life is concerned, those are just speed bumps and annoyances.

For now ....

Maybe they could spend a little of their extra cash on fixing the homeless epidemic and preventing crimes in their own cities.  You know ....  REAL problems.....
