For fans of Nero Wolfe. A&E series with Timothy Hutton as Archie and Maury Chaykin as Wolfe. Great soundtrack. Wish it were available to purchase.

Thanks, Nero Wolfe looks interesting; copyright-banned over here but the archive link works.I'm currently watching House (MD) starring Hugh Lawrie.
On series 2 episode 4. So that's 26 out of 176 seen.
It's 20 years old and is fresh to rewatch.Incidentally in the first series he is shown in his home with a Sohmer piano. Laurie does play well of course.

Olympics, intermittently.

I just can't get enthusiastic for any of it, and I feel as it's The Olympics I ought to.
Seen bits of skiing, shooting, and then there's the curling
.
Not even the jumping or ice hockey. None of it.
Am I getting old, or is it because they're wrapped up in five layers and it seems impersonal?
It's been more like watching darts, or snooker. -

It's been more like watching darts, or snooker.@AndyD I've felt that way for years. When I was a kid I used to be glued to the TV when the Olympics were on, especially the Winter Games. Somewhere along the way, probably in the 1990s, it felt like the competitive nature of the Olympics became eclipsed by bling and commercialism and the true spirit of the Games pretty much disappeared.
