I grew up in a small town and
we had a one-man taxi service.
Shopping malls were non-existent.
My family didn't even own a car.
I fought boredom by listening to
the radio and watching movies.
My dad agreed to put a small
black and white TV in the "girls
room" provided we promised to
cut it off at bedtime. Of course,
we would sneak and watch TV
when we were supposed to
be sleeping!!
My favorite actresses were Susan Hayward, Lee Remick, Kim Novak,
Lana Turner, and Lee Grant.
Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Elizabeth Taylor were good actresses too. I'm showing my age because I watched these ladies in black and
white movies.
I didn't have time for a lot of movie watching when I was a wife and mother
with two sons. I would go to the
movie theatres sometime. However,
it was only to take my sons to kiddie movies.
I started watching movies again after
the "Stay At Home " mandate was
issued due to the COVID-19 virus.
I never cared for Sit-Coms, Horror,
or Comedy shows anyway. Now
I watch Romance and Christmas movies and British Detective shows. I choose movies and TV shows that are usually rated G, PG, and PG-13.
TV shows and movies have come
a long way due to the advancement
in the film industry due to technology. Cable and Satellite TV increased our viewing options by offering more channels. Now people have Streaming
TV to add to their TV watching obsession.
I had to become a smart TV watcher
after I retired. I am on a fixed income
so large Cable and Satellite bills are
not an option. The Broadcast
TV transition to digital TV has really
helped me out. I eventually bought
an inexpensive outdoor antenna.
I can watch all of the local TV stations.
I have downloaded free TV and
movie apps on my cell phone and notebook. I can also watch old TV
shows and movies on YouTube.
I will be sharing a list of my
favorite movies soon. These
are movies that I like enough
to watch more than once.
They kept me entertained and
featured a great story. I am
including British TV detective
shows that I frequently watch.
Maybe some of you Seniors
ladies may decide that watch
them and join in the fun!
