What are you watching these days?

Oh, that sounds fabulous! I did so love Monty Python's send-up of the Attenborough documentaries. I''ll look for it!

I've seen little TikTok type videos of Philomena Cunk on Facebook or wherever, presented without context. At first, I thought she was just kind of an incompetent interviewer, but by the second or third time I realized it was comedy.
"Documentary Now," also a comedy mockumentary show, is supposed to be good.

It was mesmerizing--the color saturation, the emotion on the characters' faces, the epic sweep. I'll tell you more about it later, or maybe I'll give a few clues and make you guess what I watched.

So you continued watching TV-like content on your computer but not on your TV set? What was the objective of the fast? (I don't mean this to sound challenging or anything :laugh: -- just curious!)
I'd love to play the guessing game with a description of the movie!
Front-Ranger:
It just kind of happened naturally since I can't get my streaming services on my TV. I suppose I could hook up my TV to the cable system to get them but I'm too lazy to do that plus I'd have to pay a steep cable fee, maybe $30-$50 a month. In addition, I tend to fall asleep when I'm sitting on the sofa in front of the TV and not when I'm sitting in my computer chair. Also, sometimes I like to stop the show and take notes on my computer. Those are the main reasons.
The DVD I watched was from the library, but it is a recent release. It is a story that has been told over centuries and in many different media: books, plays, drama, musicals, you name it.

Oops, I left th is hanging! If there are no guesses, I'll tell you what it was that I watched to break my TV fast. It's a story that has been told over centuries and in many different media: books, plays, drama, musicals, you name it.
So, I returned that DVD to the library today and got three other shows: The Big Night, A Walk in the Woods, and (to correct the gender imbalance) T?R!
