I got rid of tv several years ago also however we do have Netflix but watch very little tv anymore and don't miss it! Netfix allows a person to be very selective and not having full time tv around has been a blessing, I think (no, I am SURE) that most people would be very surprised at how fast they would get over not having regular tv and once away from it would realize just how dumb and wasteful of time tv programing is. Whenever I am at someone's home and the tv is on I can see just how stupid most tv programing is, being conditioned to it before I had (like most everyone else) just learned to ignore that but no more, now I can clearly see it for what it really is! It finally occurred to me that we are granted only a limited time on this Earth and I can not bare squandering countless hours of that precious time sitting in front of a tv watching such mindless programing, folks really should think about all that wasted time. When a person adds up the hours per day it can be shocking at many days/weeks per year of their life is spent wasted that could be spent on far more enjoyable and productive pastimes, far as I am concerned tv truly is just a colossal waste of time!

I managed to not see it this long, I guess if I see it or something I'll give it a try.

What is a TELEVISION?

Is that what belongs in that big space on my bookcase.

I have watched the first seasons but the rest is not available on Netflix yet however having grown up in the area and having spent a lot of time in Harlan, I lived in Pineville a few miles down Highway 119 from Harlan, I get a real kick out of the total BS from that program. Flat open country????? Are you kidding me??? That area is mostly straight up and down! And the way they just jump into their cars/trucks and run on over to Lexington like it's just the next community over is comical, Lexington is hours away. But of course I guess it goes without saying the people of the area are nothing like they are portrayed in the show with one notable and shameful exception, the drug problem is every bit as bad as it's portrayed.

I'm not much of a fan of Broadcast TV networks in general but "Revolution" is kind of interesting. The underlying theme is that a device to control power went out of control and the world has been without electricity for several years. There's a mix of good vs. evil, eotwawki, $htf, survivalists with the militia which runs everyting and the resistance fighting the militia. Some easy on the eyes actors, too.

The series Justified was filmed entirely in Ca. just as the movie Holloween was, which was supposed to take place in Ill. We can't forget all the westerns John Ford made in Monument Valley, Utah which was supposed to be in Texas. I have never seen any part of Texas that looked like Utah. Oh well. I must admit, I liked the series and hated to see it end for the season.

How about Duck Dynasty

Or, Person of Interest

That said, I will miss Justified.

The series Justified was filmed entirely in Ca.

The pilot show was shot in Kittanning Pa near Pittsburgh but the rest of the series was shot in California with stock footage used of some locals in Pennsylvania. I really liked that show but I think they could just as easily have used fictitious names for the towns instead of using the names of real places and then presenting them in a totally fictional setting. I get a kick out of some of the road signs because they tend to use real names of local small communities but the background area might as well be on Mars! Also it's rather insulting as to how the locals are portrayed, especially the Law Officers, and while there certainly are criminal elements just about everywhere the locals are in no way like they are in that show, criminal or otherwise. That's why I think it would have been better to use all fictional names for the locations, they did use some fictitious locations and communities so why not all of them?

The books were great as are all of Leonard's books. For the Western fans here Elmore Leonard started as a Western writer. Then that market faded and he switched to mysteries. I have all his books and I rate his Westerns as extremely good well above Louis La'mours in my opinion. Worth getting if you like Westerns.

oldred you are correct they could of had a great TV series based on that or even some good movies of when they came back to America. I am not sure if you remember but Selleck made a big point in promoting the movie that the real hero was the rifle and not the man that made the media squirm a bit.
