This is not going to be one of my fav's..but it is not as bad as everyone is saying. Episode 4 ended in a bad place, but I was sticking around anyway. I have watched a lot of worse dramas and this one has some real funny lines here and there.
I would have rated this a 10 if two of my favorite characters had not come to a bad end. But rewatchable. A good tale, didn't really come together with the mysteries ending until the last few episode.
if only....THEN there WOULD be some great kisses thrown down.
I lived in Austin, TX and Lady Bird Johnson controlled the airwaves here, for political reasons. It wasn't until several years after LBJ exited office that she allowed other stations to enter the Austin region. I think we only had about 6 AM stations too. So, I didn't watch a lot of TV but read a lot. I also had a horse and spent a lot of time outside, just roaming and exploring. Even then I was very curious about the world outside my home. We lived in a subdivision but it was out in the middle of nowhere and a stable was within walking distance of my home. So, until I began working part time I spent most of my childhood there. We sold the horse when I was sixteen as the stable was moving and we couldn't visit Sissy like we had before. She was my best friend. and main companion as no other young people lived near me. My older sister was not interested in my activities and my parents were divorced and both very involved in their own lives. I was heartbroken for quite a while. But between work and school I really didn't have the time to commit to her anymore. But back to TV...I got a color TV even before my mom. My grandfather gave it to me when I graduated from college in 1979. We still didn't have more than 4 or 5 total stations and I don't think any of them were 24 hour ones. I would be lost now as I am up at all hours watching my shows. LOL

The kids movies are still by Disney and the move seems to be in TV shows and channels like Nic , PBS Kids or the Disney channel. I only had one TV channel to watch until I was in my teens and was always excited to visit relatives in Dallas where they had about 6 or 7 channels that didn't shut down at midnight. LOL
I have finished up to episode 5 and I have hooked. This is not going to be a fast paced drama, but it is a slow burn. I really do like it and the characters.

If a man Answers was the husband training dog manual. It was terribly funny. I think another funny movie from that same period was That Darn Cat. "Bringing up Baby" with Katherine Hepburn and Gary Grant..1938...ok my mom was only 5 years old then is one of my favorite older movies. I laughed until I cried all the way through it. The slick dialog and slap stick comedy pit falls were epic.

I had forgotten that movie..with Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin too. I was 5 when that came out and I think I watched it at the Penny Matinee on a early Saturday Morning. That is where I watched all the older Elvis movies and all those Beach and Giget movies. I'm going to have to go and look them up now.

I was born in 1956 and l must have lived in an information vacuum. I think I learned that Rock was gay when I was in my 20s and didn't quite understand what that meant until quite a bit later. Gomer Pile was a shocker to me too. However, after going to the College of Art at UT in Austin Texas, I met and was befriended by a lot of young gay men who were all struggling with the concept of coming out. But even then, I don't feel I really understood sexuality beyond in general terms. Perhaps I still struggle today. LOL

Finding out he is gay...not even BI, kind of ruins the kisses for me. I like to at least pretend they are real. But if he doesn't desire women it makes it kind of fake. Although I guess it is a credit to his acting chops that I never suspected he was not interested in his co star.
But back to TV...I got a color TV even before my mom. My grandfather gave it to me when I graduated from college in 1979. We still didn't have more than 4 or 5 total stations and I don't think any of them were 24 hour ones. I would be lost now as I am up at all hours watching my shows. LOL
