I might give it a second try then. I gave up watching it when it ran on Showcase, the excess exposition ticked me off. I just finished season 1 of The Fosters. It's about a very very blended family -- lesbian mixed-race couple and their multi-ethnic natural, adopted, and foster kids. It...

I watched the first episode of Crashing last night. About a group of 20- and 30-somethings in London who are "property guardians" -- sort of sanctioned squatters -- in a disused hospital building. (Is this an actual thing?) A few good laughs but I'm reserving judgment, it's the sort of lifestyle...

I didn't think it was that bad. Definitely not at the same level as the previous seasons, and the limited run didn't give them time to really develop the crime story, but I liked Rachel's struggles with her new role and thought they did a good job of portraying that.

Thanks to whoever suggested Dreamland. I re-subscribed to Netflix (after the Shomi fail mentioned above) and dove right in. What a hoot. Reminds me a lot of the John Morton series on BBC, Twenty Twelve and W1A. Or a less-sweary version of Armando Iannucci's shows.

Well poop. So much for my grand plan of getting my free month of Shomi before it disappears: they're no longer accepting new subscribers. I just hope Crave or Netflix picks up some of the programs that were exclusive to Shomi in Canada (specifically Mozart in the Jungle and Transparent).

I can confirm that they both like the cat metropolis. I bought the Café Style remodel just for a change, and was pleased to see that it's a layout where the metropolis actually fits well (on the right-hand side).

Both of the new kitties have visited, but I missed them. That's okay, gives me a reason to keep playing. I love the new mushroom houses. Very cute, plus they add to the list of "small" toys that hold 2 cats. I had 15 cats at one point yesterday afternoon. :cat:

As soon as I saw that this thread was active again I thought "Oh, does that mean there's been an update?" Yay, and excuse to play again. :cheer2:

This one has been making the rounds. :lol:

I can't warm to season 2 of Indian Summers, so I've struck that one off my to-watch list. (Just as well, with so much good stuff on the networks this season.) But I'm looking forward to The Durrells in Corfu, starting Oct 16. I read and loved all of Gerald Durrell's memoirs, and I think it will...

That's exactly how I felt. I admired, but didn't particularly enjoy, the entire series.

Yeah, I just heard that too. I never did get around to signing up with them -- largely because Telus doesn't have them as a "channel" like they do for Netflix & Crave. But they have a couple of shows that I really wanted to see so I'd better figure out the darned Chromecast and sign up pronto.

For those who are getting a little bored with Neko Atsume and/or impatient waiting for another update, here's something new from Chrome: an extension called Tabby Cat. It gives you a kitty every time you open a new tab. And the kitties come with goodies too, like hats you can put on them. I...

Are you sure? Check your listings. My PBS is continuing the marathon today, and goes right up to the end of season 6.

Last week I had Dolly Parton's Nine to Five in my head for days. Probably because I was transitioning from a work-at-home set-my-own-hours position to an office environment. :/ But for the past few days I've had the overture to Candide in my head. And I have no idea why.
