The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it!
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon!
Today’s question:
QUESTION: Do you have a television show or movie that you really enjoyed that you think others would enjoy, too? If so, tell us about it.
Talk about it….
Good topic.
TV shows
I love MeTV channel. A lot of good old school shows.
The A team
Adam 12
CHiPs
Andy Griffin show
Munsters
I love HGTV channel
The show I enjoy are house hunters and,house hunter international. A lot of interesting house from around the world.
Movies
I plan to watch Grease tonight to honor Olivia it on Amazon prime but it only available for rent. I though there was going to be a special movie night somewhere on the network to honor Olivia.
Concordejet,
If you get a chance goto YouTube and listen to the French version of the A-Team theme song. The French version of the Dallas theme song is different too.
I don’t watch much TV these days, but there are movies I have seen that I enjoyed. I usually refrain from recommending a movie because everybody has different tastes. What I find appealing and entertaining, others may not. For instance, I liked Goodfellas, but others might think it’s too violent and glorifies the Mafia. Instead of recommending a movie, I might tell them about it and give my opinion, then let them decide for themselves if they want to see it.
Dragnet, Sgt. Joe Friday, “Just The Facts Ma’am”
I don’t watch TV anymore but I always enjoyed , Star Trek (original),
Taxi , All in the family, Benny Hill and The Sopranos
TV show quality IMHO is hard to maintain. A show starts off good then tapers off after a season or two, especially comedies. That said, I really enjoyed “Life in Pieces.” It’s humor was more subtle than most shows. “Black Mirror,” a modern Outer Limits, is good, but can be disturbing. Older shows I enjoyed:
MASH
X-Files
Start Trek TNG
too many oldies….
I do sometimes enjoy watchin the old Laugh-In… The News of the Future segment…. Now seeing some of it came true…..
Highway Patrol with Broderick Crawford on MeTv.
Gutfeld!
The Five
Currently watching the “Five Days at Memorial” mini series on AppleTV+ which is based on a book about the Memorial Medical Center dealing with Hurricane Katrina in 2005. It’s well done and features Vera Farmiga.
Also recently watched the BBC produced drama-comedy series season two of “The Outlaws” on Amazon Prime featuring Christopher Walken.
I’ve watched a lot of TV over the years except in the 1970s when I was playing music 5-6 nights a week. I was living in Seattle so night’s off I would go to local art houses which usually played foreign movies. Saw some very good films, many of them award winning.
… 2 1/2 men, then play along with Jeopardy & Wheel of Fortune …. Battlebots & Ghosts
… forgot 2 – add Seal Team & NCIS with original cast
.
Hogan’s Heroes
Married with Children
Lucifer
The Three Stooges
My Three Sons
Pleasantville
My Favorite Martian
Sitcoms from the seventies, Mash, Mary Tyler Moore and Barney Miller, Mash being my favorite. Also loved Johnny Carson and Saturday night live. Dramatic shows LA and the first few years of Grey’s Anatomy. Just found several episode of LA Law on you tube, watch several, some l had never seen others l had, but could bear watching again. I still like the show a lot.
Hanne Jeppesen,
ABC has ordered a LA Law pilot for the 2022-2023 season that will be a continuation of the original series.
A & I channel (68) Variety of old programs from Batman to Walker, Texas Ranger, to various Star Trek, and many others. Monk anyone?
Trainwreck: Woodstock ‘99
One of the most gripping documentaries of the year.
Just jawdropping
These recommendations read like the VHS library at the Golden Rain retirement home LOL!
We enjoyed the Umbrella Academy and are working thru Stranger Things.
The Forgotten Battle is an excellent WW2 film. And Top Gun:Maverick brought back all the feels!
The new stuff seems to be geared toward millennials, who as you know have extremely brief attention spans.
Aw thats some Malarky. Even the best sitcoms only ran 30 minutes long…Cheers, Taxi, 3s Company, MASH…
Current:
1883 was ten episodes and as good a series as you’ll ever see.
1917 was literally two shots. only one cut.
Ozark? definitely not for the short attention span…
I started watching “Evil” on Paramount+ a few days ago after Doc Jelly mentioned it in a post. Just a word of advice….for those who have phobias about clowns, the movies “Psycho”, “Exorcist” or if you believe a lot of “supernatural” phenomenon, you might want to pass on this series. I find it entertaining, some people may not. It’s a little scarier than watching Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler.
Glad you like it nytemuvr…wait until you see the “E” is for Elevator episode. That one got me good. This show mixes a lot of humor into the stories too… it is unusual to say the least.
TV- Rockford Files
Movies- Harvey; Witness For The Prosecution (huge cast) ;
The Advocate (true 14th century court cases, Colin Firth’s first movie)
So many more *sigh*
Also on Paramount is a mini series “1883” which is the history of how the Dutton family (Yellowstone Series) came to own the Yellowstone Ranch.
Awesome story & probably the best thing Sam Elliot has ever done.
Get a loada this!

lolwut?
@ reekorizzo……Wow! that article is a load of BS!
They reached their conclusions about Concord by analyzing a database of Instagram selfies? Talk about weird science!
I don’t know why they even mentioned Tom Hanks, In the past, he’s made some very disparaging remarks about Concord and the people that live there … he does not like Concord.
I mainly stream older tv series. Recently finished watching ER, and am currently into Blue Bloods. But a modern show thats pretty good is Only Murders in the Building on hulu. Steve Martin and Martin Short are brilliant. Too much f word, tho. I have to watch it a little at a time because I feel slapped in the face everytime the f word is used. And its so unnecessary. The dialogue is so witty and engaging, swearing adds nothing. Quite the opposite really.
For sitcoms, I watch Seinfeld, Andy Griffith, All in the Family, and its spin off gem, The Jeffersons.
Yes, All in the family, as well as the Jeffersons and Maude. I should alos mention mini series of the seventies and eighties “Roots” still one of the best as well as “Holocaust”, Winds of War and Rich Man, Poor Man. A couple of other mini series stand out, ‘The Delibrate Stranger” with Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy. “The Last Convertible” about Harvard student right before and during WWll, with Bruce Boxleitner and Perry King, love Perry King. Recently found “The Kiki Camerena Story” on Utube, saw it when it was first aired in the early nineties, forgot how riveting it was, and Steve Bauer is a honk.
Should also mention Dallas and Dynasty, watch both, didn’t follow Dallas as much as Dynasty.
AMC just showed the first season of a series called Dark Winds. It was fabulous. The lead is Zahn McClarnon who played Mathias on Longmire (another great series to catch on streaming)
I finally went and saw Elvis, it too was excellent. I still feel there are times it’s worth the cost and effort to see a movie in the theater. This is one of those movies.
For TV: Father Ted; Psych; Munsters; Fawlty Towers; Dirty Jobs (a few others, but these are the top ones)
Movies: Eastwood westerns (TGTBTU, High Plains Drifter, Josey, Few Dollars); Once Upon a Time in the West; We’re No Angels (not the deniro/penn tripe); Animal Crackers/Duck Soup; Blues Brothers, to name (more than) a few.
The movie “Lucky” … from 2017 … no words
