"60 Minutes" from way back sounds interesting. .

Over 300 of them available. What's
missing is all the shows from the
60's. Beverly Hillbillies, Hogan,
Green Acres, Petticoat Junction,
Wild Wild West, Gomer Pyle,
Andy Griffith, Gilligan, Muensters,
Dick VanDyke, Lost in Space,
Red Skelton, Rawhide. A lot of
these shows are still in syndication
around the world, i wonder if
that's the reason.

Forgot how much I liked Bluebloods.
I saw the first 6 seasons because
that's all there were then. Now there
are 10 on CBS Access. I forgot what
a good cast it has, and how good an
actor Tom Selleck is. He's very good
at being believably sincere. And he's
still very good looking in his 70's.
Not many actors pull that off. Cary
Grant didn't, Neither bid Burt Reynolds.
Paul Newman looked great in his 80's,
Redford hasn't looked good in 20 years.

Selleck today and 40 years ago in Magnum.

I think in the 60's networks were not allowed to produce their own shows. Even though they aired on CBS they were not owned by them.

Currently binging on Narcos Mexico
Watched the Narcos series regarding Pablo Escobar a few years ago and it totally rocked
Now watching Narcos Mexico and it also rocks.
I was holding off because I knew a DEA agent was tortured and killed in Mexico and 1st season is all about that true incident
Narcos Mexico really handled it well
Now into the 2nd season as the DEA is getting revenge
This is a really great show.
Seems so authentic as all the characters are speaking there own languages.

Watching season 9 of Blue Bloods on
Prime. That the writing and acting
on this show gets better every
season is more than amazing. It's
almost unheard of. I like every
main character, I love the family
dynamic, and the police dynamic.
If I feel a bond with these people
and care about them, imagine
how the fan base feels.

There was talk at CBS about cancelling the
show, like COPS and Live Pd was cancelled,
over the BS last spring. I think whoever
suggested it was gone by the end of
the day. Or that's the rumor. This might
be the most beloved TV show on right
now, it certainly is on CBS.

It's funny that "Magum PI" is only a few rankings below Blue Bloods

Average Viewership all ages in millions (CBS scripted shows)
1 NCIS (renewed) 11.652
2 FBI (renewed) 9.077
3 Young Sheldon (renewed) 8.711 - only sitcom in top 10
4 Blue Bloods (renewed) 7.685
5 Hawaii Five-0 (ended) 7.199
6 FBI: Most Wanted (renewed) 7.036
7 Magnum PI (renewed) 6.666
8 NCIS: Los Angeles (renewed) 6.385
9 Bull (renewed) 6.352
10 NCIS: New Orleans (renewed) 6.325

Remember when you need to average 10 million viewers to stay on broadcast TV?

Top rated scripted show:
NBC: This is US | 8.331 million
ABC: Station 19 | 6.459 million
FOX: 9-1-1 | 6.853 milllion

Remember the show Medium? Never
saw it when it ran 2005-2012. Saw
the pilot on CBS All Access last
night and it was pretty good for
a pilot. Is this show worth watching
for all 7 seasons? Pilot's usually suck
and this one did not.

Tom Selleck is only 5 years younger than Len Cariou
Makeup, hair dye and lighting made it seem as if Len Cariou was old enough to be his father on the show

Done totally on purpose in case the
show had legs. The dynamic between
The PC and his retired dad PC has
always been very important. As well
as is the Sunday dinner. Which they
all hate shooting. They start at 9am
and it can go all day.

Watch one and count all the different
camera angles. Each one represents
where they had to do the entire dinner
over from start to end because they
had to move the camera. They don't
really eat much, just move the food
around on the plate.

I watched it every now and then. Can’t really remember much about it now.
