Aww, I've never heard of it. I'll look into it. I felt the same way when All My Children ended.

I felt the same Sunny. I was so sad at the airport scene. My only consolation is that Endeavor will be back.

Jasper, that airport scene made me want to cry. I will miss this show so much. I do watch Endeavor also but I haven't fallen in love with, something is lacking for me.
Lakecat, I was a big fan or All My Children for years, but work got in the way the last few years.
My teenage years my afternoons were filled watching AMC and GH.

Sugar, I also watch Dancing on the Edge and found that interview episode strange...just a filler I think.

I will say that the last couple of episodes were not as good Imo as prior seasons it may have been that Capt.
I really like endeavour and Friday.

I don't know whether anyone caught the Great performances' documentary about the musical Hamilton last night, but if not check out the PBS site for it. Just amazing and it makes me want to see the musical even more than before, but alas I'm on the wrong coast and only make it back once/year or so. Oh, and scoring tickets is pretty impossible and prohibitively expensive.

I watched it and was so fascinated by it. I learned a lot about him that I did not know. It is starting here in San Francisco but unless you are a season ticket holder, there is a slim to none chance of getting a ticket. I am going to try.

Sacrilege! I saw a preview for a remake of Anne of Green Gables on PBS. The 1985 Kevin Sullivan production with Megan Follows was perfection!
The new series does have Martin Short which may be a saving grace.

Huh?! Anne of Green Gables with Martin Sheen? As you said, Sugar, Kevin Sullivan's production was P.E.R.F.E.C.T.I.ON.

I don't remember if I first heard of Australian series "A Place To Call Home" here or where?? It's available for purchase on DVD or Amazon video or viewing on Acorn TV. Love it! I am bingeing it now.

I recently subscribed to Acorn TV. Season 4 will show up there eventually. I just started season 3. I've never had cable or satellite. I stream -- now I'm paying for TV.

I recommend Miss Fisher Color. I think that originates on Acorn.

I just watch PBS for some funny British tv series that I never get tired of watching, but on the same channel there is often Frontline and I don't miss any new ones and they keep coming already this year and very interesting the recent ones on the nuclear issue and more to come on the 'nuclear option'. I didn't remember the incident in 1980 in Arkansas of that silo that exploded and no one was certain that the nuclear warhead 600 times more powerful than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima would go off. I'm actually surprised there weren't more dead people when the missile complex exploded and how despicable the actions of the Air Forces to fire the heroes that went there to prevent a tragedy, but they couldn't and so they were punished. Awful!
Another episode will deal with the uranium issue... I think all these documentaries about nuclear weapons so early in the year are unsettling... no matter how interesting.

I really feel thankful for channels like PBS and the wonderful documentaries of, not only Frontline, but also Nova and Nature. I saw last night a 2 hour (no commercials !) documentary on uranium which was simply awesome, I finally understood, with very simple graphics, what uranium is all about and it's really the dragon better left sleeping under the Australian soil (and now I understand why I had the bad luck I had after I moved a small rock at Uluru, I dropped it like a hot potato when I was told of the curse) but the simple fact of just moving it brought me the bad luck when I returned home, could be just a coincidence but I was really believing it was the curse. But uranium was destined to be found, even elsewhere, and the dragon roared in 1945. After years of discoveries of what it was doing to its victims we became aware of its great dangers, not only for humans but for the planet as well... while watching I was waiting patiently to hear a reference to the other nightmare, plutonium, but maybe the young physicist narrating will have another documentary on that. What a great narrator, a bit on the style of Neil DeGrass and its Cosmos series, narrating while travelling to each location and showing us what he was talking about it, I felt he was bombarded by all those radiations and I felt surrounded by radiations myself. Thankfully he also described the benefits of uranium with space discoveries and more important for nuclear medicine and also a cleaner source of energy... spoiled a bit but the recurring thought of accidents, like Chernobyl.
A great documentary and my thank you to PBS.

There are a lot of good documentaries on PBS -- Frontline, POV, American Experience, Ken Burns series, and others. Ken Burns series on the Vietnam war will be aired this fall. I've been waiting for that since I first heard about it 2 - 3 years ago.

It was excellent! The first TV show I ever saw in color was Victoria Regina starring Julie Harris in 1961.

Color you will LOVE Acorn TV. Pie in the Sky, George Gently, Murdoch Mysteries, Miss Fisher, and many wonderful others. We actually prefer the British shows to American television now.

Lol, Misspoufy, with Netflix I'm mostly watching all the British series I missed when they were shown on PBS. I considered Acorn but then realized that I have more then enough in past seasons to entertain me for quite awhile.
Glad to hear that Victoria is a good one.

Does anyone know if they are ever going to air season two of Home Fires in the U.S.? I loved that series and I know it was cancelled, but I would still love to see the second season.
We just finished the first season of "Dr. Thorne" which is a Julian Fellowes series. It starts very slowly and was a little hard to follow at first, but it ended up really good. It wrapped up most of the storylines - so even if there isn't a second season, it has a nice and satisfying ending.

Acorn also has Doc Martin. I actually watched all of season 6 before it came out on PBS. Now I have to finish watching Season 7 on Acorn.
