Rome (HBO 2005-07) Third watch. I rank this among the best TV series ever made (I have seen 😉). Two seasons. The Season 1 Final, Kalends of February is a killer. It’s a shame it was cancelled prematurely and Ray Stevenson died prematurely, recently. 😢 HBO said way back when, it cost too much to produce in Italy, my understanding in the studio where Cleopatra (1963) was filmed. 🙁

How a Jewish family saved Thomas Jefferson’s home, excellent documentary. I visited Monticello several times as a child and a young adult and never had a clue the Levis owned Monticello for much longer than Jefferson, and saved the estate. Antisemitism is a blight that illustrates how religious belief can be/is a wedge that separates us from one another. 😔 Seen on Prime Video.

My wife has been watching Frasier (93-04) reruns. I loved this show as an ensemble, but I caught one episode recently and was reminded of how much of a train wreck Frasier’s love life was, those parts of the show were more painful than funny. 🤔 I’ve not caught the reboot on Paramount + (I think).

Just finished up Evil (Paramount +), flawed, but worthy.
To watch the 4th season of Umbrella Academy (Netflix) decided to start at the beginning. I forgot how good season 1 is.

Fraiser (2023- )- We‘re working through Season 1 of the Fraiser reboot. It’s surprisingly good. :)
My question is, it’s been so long since I’ve watched network TV, is this on network TV and have network TV seasons been reduced to just 10 episodes?
