Ballgames and documentaries on Netflix. A few years ago I probably watched a total of 10 hours of TV for a year. Now that the Royals are more interesting, the games are generally on, whether I am watching or not. Same for the Sooners. I have binge watched a few series - Luther, Sherlock Holmes (the Cumberbatch version), Numbers, Foyle's War, Inspector Morse, Inspector Lewis, and George Gently, and another sci-fi FBI series, but I can't remember the title. Oh yeah, my wife and I watched Downton Abbey and Madmen.

I think that the last series I made it a point to watch weekly was West Wing.

I don' think of streaming services as TV.

Really they are I guess.

So all your news comes from the written word?

Which outlets?

They were TV shows, just watched in a different format ( and no commercials).

I listen to a lot of NPR, check out the Wapo online and get the Kansas City Star.
Actually, I used to watch quite a bit of MSNBC, but I got tired to watching pure advocacy rather than news.

yes, I too was driven from MSNBC for the same reason. You get a hard copy of your local paper or on line you read it?

I get the hard copy. It's easier to take into the bathroom than the laptop.

I take my phone and read The Times news feed.

Easier than a big paper.
