what do old people watch on TV?

my 94 year old mother loves Judge Judy and The View

@lemondrop
Judge Jude is great, and so is Dr Phil. He may have some obscure cases, but I would definitely trust him. I also like the British Dragons Den and Grand Designs.

Hang on...you're NOT old.

Now why does the title of this thread make me smile?

My mother (85) loved Columbo, a drama about a GP practice, and the soaps. Since lockdown I’ve started watching foreign murder drama’s and the recent streaming of the Derek Chauvin trial.

I’m told that I am old.

Interestingly an excellent Swedish detective drama I watched opened with the refreshing portrayal of a 60year old female detective in a bed scene with an already married colleague - who unfortunately died a few scenes later following kidnap and torture 😥

I love Columbo too, he still feels as fresh as ever. Humor, wit although seen through out the whole series never felt boring. He was so charming.

And he doesn’t look old to me any more.

I love the way he talks about his wife, who we never see by the way. 🙂

@drewnogal said
Yes, a nice detective 🙂

And then they never get rid of him. 🙂

anyone watch 'Monk'?

I remember visiting my grandparents who loved Perry Mason
I would have to watch it with them
the most boring hours of my life

To answer the original question, anything and everything.
