Finished the third season of Lincoln Lawyer and had a good time watching it. Other than that, we're hesitant to pick up a new series these days, and have stopped watching most old series episodes produced after 2020. One by one, we dropped shows we used to enjoy as entertainment when the writing and focus underwent a noticeable (and not for the better IMO) change following Covid and the advent of Woke. While realizing all television viewing requires some suspension of disbelief, the lecturing, posturing, peculiar emotional dramas, forced set-ups, stories that didn't hang together and general goofiness (especially with female characters) eventually brought us to the point of asking each other, "What is going on? Is this what we want to watch?". And our answer was "No".
That said, when we went back in time to try and watch Moonlighting from 1985, we found it to be less fun and weirder than we remembered or wanted. So here we are in No Man/Woman's Land, with less and less ways and means of escape. Had fun with Jumanji over the weekend, and then when this showed up in the Pics of the Week, I smiled with the awareness we aren't alone in the hope we hold as we navigate our way through the losses and differences involved with living in shift and change.

Anything after The A-Team is pretty much avoided. While a lot of Bonanza and some of The Big Valley is a lot Leftier than we realized way back then, a good episode of Cheyenne or Laramie is always worthwhile.
