Just finished watching the Country Music documentary by Ken Burns on PBS with my dad tonight and he loved it. I'm glad to have shared with him this loving depiction of so many of his most favorite, beloved artists like the Carter Family, Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, Roy Acuff, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Jimmie Rodgers and more. (The series will probably be repeated on PBS stations or on On Demand if you missed it.) Poignant songs of long ago. "Three chords and the truth," as they defined it. Many passed away now, but new artists of different backgrounds carrying on the tradition.
Also, we love watching current Jeopardy champion Jason the math teacher with his $500,000+ winnings! As well as Alex Trebek himself in good health despite his stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He looks as good as ever.
What are you and your loved one watching these days?
I love all those channels, too, Shane. Also my dad and I have been enjoying the "SOS: How to Survive" series on the Weather Channel. I like the handy survival tips in the midst of the extreme drama of falling off the hillside during your hike and then encountering extreme weather, rambunctious wildlife, etc.

Otherwise it’s Discover Channel, National Geographic, Smithsinian, etc. Haven’t watched a network show in long time.
Also have been getting more into Turner Classic Movies. I didn't realize we got this channel. They have been playing movies related to college football through the month of September on Fridays -- we watched the Marx Brothers' "Horse Feathers" which was hilarious, and just the other day "Jim Thorpe: All-American" which was quite a story.
And now math teacher Jason on Jeopardy is dethroned! But what a run he had.
