Now midway through my seventies, I find that I like TV even more now than ever ... and ... although I had boycotted CBS for some reason that I cannot remember at the moment, I have to tell you that some of this season's offerings are wonderful. I mean they rank right up there with Paramount's Yellowstone.
I am talking about Thursday evening's offerings of Matlock and Elsbeth ... and I find both to be very entertaining. One cautionary note though. If you are going to watch Matlock for the first time -- start with episode 1. You can find it On Demand or streaming somewhere I am sure. Kathy Bates is outstanding in the lead role. The ending caught me off guard and I love that kind of surprise. Elsbeth is just plain fun in its eccentricity ... although the totes Carrie Preston drags around with her are a bit annoying for some unexplainable reason ... maybe because they look empty. The annoying meter dings at about a Tony Shalhoub Monk level... just so you know. Entertaining shows -- both. At least I think so.
Winter will be here soon. Nice to have some fun "watching" when snowed or iced in. Actually fun entertainment is wonderful even if you don't have real Winter.
