My mother has LBD. She has reached a point she will only leave the house for hair appointment and groceries. When she is home she only sits and watches a game show over and over. When she goes to bed she watches it until she goes to sleep.
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this with a dementia patient.

She watches some channel that repeats shows like "Murder, She Wrote" and "Bonanza"---over and over. She was an avid Utah Jazz fan and sometimes she watches games from 98 and 99 (the heartbreak years for us Jazz fans!)
She's happy, I don't rock the boat.

Think of it this way, there are many people who will watch sports hour after hour. I have one of those at home. Baseball, tennis, golf, later Football [college and pro] in the fall. Basketball [college and pro], Hockey, golf, LaCross, now he is trying to learn soccer. If "Bowling for Dollars" was still on, he'd be glued to that, too.
