My Favorite Serious TV Shows – Part Five

Serious Man Watches Serious Shows

This is the fifth installment of my favorite, serious TV shows. I’m probably forgetting some great shows. Some I never saw.

Agatha Christie’s Marple
Beyond Paradise
Dangerous Assignment
Death in Paradise*+
Doctor Blake’s Mysteries
Elementary*
Great Courses (Really great lecture series)
Johnny Carson+
Late Night+
Madame Blanc
Mr. Selfridge
Pie in the Sky
Queens of Africa
Shakespeare and Hathaway
Sister Boniface*+
Storyteller*+
Tales of Para Handy+
Time Team+ (Easily the best archeology show. Okay, okay, not much competition, but it’s good.)
Vera

* = I wish there were an unlimited episodes for these shows
+ = Primarily serious, these shows have a strong element of humor as well.

Nice Things About All the Presidential Candidates

Candidate De Lancey
51M-YQmbjCL._UX250_

I’m tired of relentless attacks on the candidates. In the spirit of reconciliation and togetherness, here are positive things to be said about all the candidates.

Clinton: My father’s first name was Clinton.
Sanders: I love how Sanders made fried chicken popular and available across the nation:
Cruz: Nice, short, easy to spell last name. Cruz was a scrappy infielder for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Trump: I played some bridge in grad school. Trump cards are good in bridge.
O’Malley: Last name is similar to malted. I love malteds.
Rubio: Love his national chain of restaurants.
Carson: Just said no to arson, a crime by the way, by adding “C” for chocolate in front of arson. Everybody loves chocolate.
Fiorina: A great name for a nutritious breakfast cereal.
Jindal: That game with those wooden stick towers, has given millions of hours of fun to Americans. Jindal! Jindal! Jindal!
Christie: Last name is close enough to Krispies to associate him favorably with Rice Krispy squares.
Huckabee: The name ends with bee. Without bees polinating plants and flowers our entire food chain would disappear.
Kasich: He’s from Ohio. Without Ohio, there would be a dangerous void between Indiana and Pennsylvania. Would you like to fall all the way to the Earth’s molten nickel core? Not I!
Paul: Rand Paul’s last name is my first name. We have to stick together.
Santorum: The Inner Sanctum was a really cool radio show some years back.
De Lancey: Of the Bacon & Chocolate Party: What a sweetheart!
