    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.

      @AndyD Rex Stoutโ€™s Wolfe novels are a wonderful read, too; I got hooked in college. I think my favorite is The Doorbell Rang, which A&E adapted for TV. They do an impressive job of making a great book into equally excellent TV.

      IMHO, of course....

          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 ๐Ÿ™„.
          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.

            @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.

              I used to like the artistic skating though it has become lots of triple jumps and spins.
              Missed most of it this time!

                  HBO, Heated Rivalry, love story of two hockey players. Free clips on YouTube.

                  I thought this scene was great--

                      I'm binging on Sherlock (Cumberbatch & Freeman series) at the moment.

                      Got to series 4 of House (Hugh Laurie) and needed a break

                        Any more I have a lot of trouble with movies and shows that have disappointing endings. Movies that kill off the characters you like. Things that are too much like the chaos I feel like we are living in now. Real life is worrisome enough, I donโ€™t need to watch that sh*t in the movies.

                        Bob has said something like that. We started watching less violence. I have found that it is a good change.
