Idiot box thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Survivor addiction has left you culturally bereft. Wild Cards is excellent. I haven't made up my mind about Sherlock & Daughter, but the Daughter is delightful.
I lead a very sheltered life.
Yeah, me too. Don't know either of those. I have given a chance to most of the Holmes-based series in all their variations and never really enjoyed anything but the original. Don't care for currently-on "Watson". Or maybe "Sherlock an Daughter" is about something else? And sure, what with recording onto DVD and all, programming conflicts are avoidable, but there aren't many things I'd pick ahead of "Survivor" in a good year.

Wild Cards is a cop drama having nothing to do with Holmes. Its twist is that the co-star is a con artist.

I enjoyed the 7 seasons of Elementary with Lucy Liu and its quirky Sherlock.

Yeah, Watson is an unrealistic nearly pure medical drama with no Sherlock that retains Moriarty as a villain for some reason that I've not seen explained. I can take it or leave it.

Sherlock and Daughter is set in the original period. Watson is missing and clever Daughter fills his role. It's brand new, just 3 episodes or so.

I don't DVR, it's my way of limiting my TV viewing even though I sometimes miss out. There's always summer reruns.
