Some pictures are copyright trademarked. For a cemetery?! The cemetery is called Riverside Cemetery in Cleveland. It's technically by Cleveland not downtown. Hope this picture pops up.

Another cemetery I visited a long time ago in Cleveland is called Lakeview. President Garfield and Elliot Ness are buried there. Though Cleveland has been falling apart and their population has been dwindling, it has a pretty amazing history. Sad the way things turn these days.

I'll be watching the Aftermath premiere tonight sometime.
Beautiful pics. Awesome brick buildings. Cemeteries really are unique places.Originally Posted by allasorte

My wife and I are definitely on board for this one: Matt Smith as Prince Philip and John Lithgow as Winston Churchill. Plus Jared Harris (Mad Men, Fringe). Most expensive Netflix production to date.

There's never been a creative boom for TV like the one we are living through right now. Ever since The Sopranos changed the game at the turn of the century, we've been in a gold rush that gives no signs of slowing down. What better moment to look back and celebrate the greatest shows in the history of the art form?
So we undertook a major poll – actors, writers, producers, critics, showrunners. Legends like Carl Reiner and Garry Marshall, who sent us his ballot shortly before his death this summer. All shows from all eras were eligible; anybody could vote for whatever they felt passionate about, from the black-and-white rabbit-ears years to the binge-watching peak-TV era. The ratings didn't matter – only quality. The voters have spoken – and, damn, did they have some fierce opinions. On this list you'll find vintage classics and new favorites, ambitious psychodramas and stoner comedies, underrated cult gems ripe for rediscovery, cops and cartoons and vampire slayers. You'll find the groundbreaking creations of yesteryear as well as today's innovators. (There was nothing like Transparent or Orange Is the New Black or Game of Thrones a few years ago, but who could imagine this list without them?) Our list is guaranteed to start plenty of loud arguments – but the beauty of TV is how it keeps giving us so much to argue about.
I watched it last night. For me, it was an aftermath. A bible like apocalypse with cheesy demon like creatures possessing people.

I just skimmed the list, but I don't like when they include shows like The Daily Show on lists like this. It should be just for scripted shows only.

Really enjoying The Good Place. I didn't know Drew Goddard had a hand in it. Very light and fun. Perfect ice-cream-eating watching.
That's the perfect way to look at it. It's light fun. It's not high-brow or anything, but it's a nice show to just sit back and relax to.

Also pleasantly surprised by Crisis in Six Scenes on Amazon Prime. The early reviews seemed lackluster but it's very good, very Woody (if you don't like that, well that's that), and Miley Cyrus is surprisingly great.
Me and my wife watch little television anymore but started watching Designated Survivor. I have a sneaking suspicion this show will quickly be overwhelmed with a story they can't fully contain with their script and actors. There have also been some annoying character inconsistencies with Kiefers character and some very broad stroke attempts to address social issues...
That's the saddest statement I've read in a long time.

I think you should mention your new avatar and how good Westworld was last night!!! I really liked the idea, the characters, and I'm very curious where this is going. Olden times mixed with futuristic soon to be possibilities.That's the saddest statement I've read in a long time.

I'm binge-watching the latest season of Motive on USA. It's a Canadian crime series starring Kristin Lehman (The Killing). Tommy Flanagan (Chibs from Sons of Anarchy) joins mid-season. In the cold open, you're introduced to the killer and the victim out of context. Then the murder happens and the ensuing investigation ties it all together. Very clever plots.

We are actually fairly happy.

Seriously though, we're in the golden age of TV. I'm curious as to why you've abandoned it and why you've chosen Designated Survivor (I'm enjoying the show) as one of the few shows you watch.

There have been some great shows recently (namely Breaking Bad and GOT) but I'm not sure this is the Golden Age. Most are a far cry from things I watched when I was younger. I still enjoy re-runs of MASH, Cheers, Golden Girls, Seinfeld, Roseanne, and others. I'm not really sure GOT will be something I re-watch with enjoyment in 20 years.
Guess we are just an old married couple. We have other interests that we value more than television. Activities together, home projects, reading, walking, watching the sun set, sitting on the porch and enjoying nature, etc., etc.
In regards to Designated Survivor the premise was interesting to me. It seemed like it could be fresh take on a catastrophe.
MASH, Cheers, Golden Girls, Seinfeld, Roseanne Vs. Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, Spartacus, Lost, etc.
No way. lol
That might just be the nostalgia berries talking. Over the past 15 years, the level quality on TV has been remarkable.
Also, many of the shows you listed are some of my favorites. I grew up watching Cheers, Golden Girls and Roseanne as well. However, one thing I should point out about the shows you listed is that they are all sitcoms. Granted, M*A*S*H wasn't technically a sitcom, but it's hard to deny that it was mainly a comedy.
So my point is that we will never see the level of comedies that we saw back then, but as far as dramas are concerned, the level of quality is immense. The production values alone is unmatched from any other era.
I could list you a dozen shows that are on the air right now that you've probably never even heard of that are fantastic.

I agree.. we are in the Golden Age of TV for sure. The caliber of TV and what can be done with streaming services like Netflix has changed the landscape...That might just be the nostalgia berries talking. Over the past 15 years, the level quality on TV has been remarkable.

I will also put this out there...We are not big fans of gratuitous violence and sex. One show we love, Game of Thrones, has both but the story line and acting is strong enough for us to see past what we consider unneeded elements to good story telling. We cannot take a ton of that mess.
You are certainly right about drama. The drama on television now is much better. But the lighter, satirical stuff, is just not that good. (I forgot to mention we loved season 1 of True Detective and The Killing). Again, we just can't watch much of that intense violence, sex, and gore. We would like to see more things that are satirical and can be watched in a family environment.
