I recently finished a series from Finland called Easy Living on Acorn TV. Best TV I've seen in a while. Didn't even mind the subtitles.

It's funny how your opinion of attractive men changes over a lifetime. I remember having huge crushes on Robert Conrad (remember Hawaiian Eye?) and Roger Smith (77 Sunset Strip) as a kid. Both were handsome men, but in my old age I find Tim Roth and Gene Hackman (as he was in Mississippi...

I know I'm old, but I just don't get Channing Tatum. His appeal is a mystery to me. A couple have mentioned the young Gary Cooper. The young John Wayne was also very handsome. Another one I haven't seen mentioned, although he wasn't ever a major star, is John Gavin.

I agree about Cary Grant, in his middle years much more than his youth. I would call these men beautiful though they're not necessarily the most attractive to me: Robert Taylor Alain Delon Peter O'Toole Rob Lowe Rock Hudson

I remember when Elvis hit it big, but he was more my sister's favorite. I was a teenager in the 60's. For me, it was the Beatles, then pretty much all the groups of the "British invasion." I still love the Beach Boys, the Four Seasons, the Temptations, the Four Tops, and most early Motown...

I didn't know about The Sandhamn Murders. I'll check it out. Thanks!

I've watched all the Midsomer Murders except for the last couple of the newest releases. There are so many episodes I forget them and can re-watch just like it's the first time. :) The first sidekick is still my favorite. Others I've liked are Above Suspicion and Scott & Bailey. Also Vera...

I remember watching it years ago on my PBS station on successive Sunday afternoons before VHS even. It's still my favorite Jane Eyre. Regarding the British mysteries, I highly recommend George Gently. Martin Shaw's (sigh) the detective, and it's set in the 60's. Broadchurch is another good...

I don't know how to do the spoiler thing, so if you haven't watched Breathless and plan to, you can skip this. I watched all of Breathless. Was anyone else as disappointed in the ending as I was? The jerk is the only one who gets out with a chance at some future happiness??? And I must...

Seems like I read somewhere that two new episodes of Poirot will air on PBS, and the other new ones will be shown, one a week, on Acorn TV, and this will be the last of Poirot. I also read that David Suchet has filmed every single Poirot novel and short story, something like 65 shows.

I don't think my PBS station carries Miss Fisher, but I have been able to watch the first two seasons on Acorn TV. I love her!

Me too. The first episode was better than the finale.

I recorded it and watched it last night. I enjoyed it too, and spent a lot of the time trying to remember where I've seen the two male leads before. The Emily actress reminded me of Justine Waddell, whom I've seen in many British productions.

I love Mrs. Hudson sooooo much! She gets the best lines. "Sherlock, if you've been youtubing . . ." :lol:
