I may have to rethink my Apple TV subscription and sign back up. There seems to be a few things I've heard about on there lately we'd probably enjoy. I know Jason would like Master of the Air.
ReplyDeleteGiven how much young hunks in uniforms that one will have I must say I'm all tingly inside. Band of Brothers was one of the best shows ever.
DeleteLike Theresa, I've been contemplating an Apple TV subscription. There's a show our good friends keep recommending to us as well. I forget the name now, but I remember watching an episode with them and enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteThey are certainly better than Peacock or HBO Max, even Hulu.
DeleteWe have Peacock, but we use it for things like the Thanksgiving parade and to watch the ball drop. only to find out they aired Miley's New Years Party instead of the ball dropping this year. So, basically I'm pissed and ready to cancel!
DeleteDown with the Peacock!
DeleteYeah, wtf was up with that? I told Jason 2022 started off as shit since he switched over and we rang in the new year with Miley. Gah!
DeleteWe had a criminal convict and jail bird singer take us into New Year here on our national telly, even though the hoe served time in jail for having mafia arsenal in her home and even though she is a widow of a mobster and war time criminal and she gave an alibi to our late prime minister's assassin. So as much as I hate Milley, you had it better than us. Even with her fugly boobies.
DeleteThe Spy seems quite interesting. Good that we still have Apple TV, but not for long....
ReplyDeleteI thought you cancelled it already LOL
