My husband and I are disgusted with the shows available. We end up watching old reruns of shows that were on twenty years ago, because we don't want to hear filthy language and see naked people. Even the advertisements for some of the reality shows and sitcoms are too indecent to watch with our granddaughters. Are the writers now so lacking in vocabulary that they must use obscene language constantly? When Alfred Hitchcock used the shadow of a knife on the wall, I was frightened. I didn't need to see explicit gory details. When Clark Gable scooped up Vivian Leigh and carried her upstairs, I didn't need to see behind the bedroom door. My imagination filled in the rest. If only our society could turn back to decency. Unfortunately, it has become normal to hear men and women using obscenity laced language with each other and on their cell phones when I'm just trying to shop peacefully in my local Walmart. I'm begining to think my husband and I are about the only ones left who don't use cuss words. herronme2@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101659062763290015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-28891825777600850642015-01-09T18:27:52.714-06:002015-01-09T18:27:52.714-06:00Debra, beautiful little teapot and the toile looks...Debra, beautiful little teapot and the toile looks all so pretty.

One of my new favorite comedies is "Miranda" featuring one of the stars from the PBS series: Call The Midwives. I love all six seasons of Doc Martin and the beautiful coastal seaside town it is filmed in. I wish I could pick up BBC on our cable but sadly cannot. So you might also want to check out Acorn TV to see what it has. I think they offer a free week or month occasionally to see what it offers. Like you I get so bored and disgusted with all the reality tv shows and the goth horror stuff that seems to permeate as well as the sex and vulgarity. (However, sometimes the British shows go a little over board on nudity. I don't think they filter that as much)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393418911540020339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-26119385838957557382015-01-09T06:39:31.197-06:002015-01-09T06:39:31.197-06:00Debra,

Your kitchen sitting area is really lovely, so cozy and inviting. <br />Hubby and I watched Tango in Paris series on DVD that we bought at Costco awhile back. We love all the British dramas. Call the Midwife is fabulous as is Doc Martin and Father Brown. Mr. Selfridge ( an absolute must see) right up there with Downton Abbey. Lo Most all come air on PBS on Sunday evenings here. It's our TV-Tea night!

With this snow and cold we have been having and the wind it was nice to have a sweet cup of tea today too. I sipped on tea as I watched the blizzard like conditions out my window. Not really getting a lot of snow but with the winds whipping around it looked like a blizzard outside today.

Love your new teapot. I am not a regular tea drinker although I have recently added green tea into my daily routine. I try to have one cup a day (it's been taking the place of my hot chocolate in the afternoons). It definitely hits the spot on these frigid days we've been having.<br /><br />Last Tango in Halifax is one of my new favorites. Have you watched Sherlock? That is very good and also on Netflix. Not on Netflix but I caught it on Youtube is Born and Bred, a very wholesome show that takes place in, I want to say the 50's, in a small town in England. Bletchley Circle is also very good and I'm hoping they come out with a season 3. I saw that on PBS when it actually aired so I don't know if you can find it on Netflix.
