Playa,


When we checked out The Wire in full about 2 years back ... he said - "Yeah, that's one of the greatest series of all-time!"


We watched it over the course of a few months. We'd usually watch an episode or two together, and I'd give him 1 - 3 eps on his flashdrive to check out later that week, then we'd pick up later in the season the following week.


He joked he was surprised he never spoiled it for himself a good 15 - 20 years after the seasons had initially aired. Saying he knew it was ALWAYS on the critics' Top 10 lists historically, just that he'd never gotten around to it as he's never had access to HBO, and isn't very tech-savvy.

Additional funny side note ...


Watched the limited series Band of Brothers and The Pacific with him this past year.


Said to him - "I always thought you saw Band of Brothers back in the day. You've got the VHS tapes saved on your shelf."


Pops - "Nah ... you know me. I saved the show, but I never watched it. I'm a bit of a pack rat ..."

But damn if it didn't look impressive on the shelf!

He's a character, man.


Definitely a fan of physical media. His entertainment room has his desktop computer, IPAD, TV, etc.


On the upper left wall just below the ceiling is wall-to-wall CDs.

The wall behind the TV has a rack of VHS tapes.

The far right wall has a bunch of DVDs.

And behind the sofa he had a number of crates of records. I'd say a good 6 or more crates. He actually gave all of them to my cousin a few summers ago. Asked him if he wanted them, and cousin said sure and was really pleased. Cousin said to me - "You should take some ..." - I said nah, I've still got lots of physical media, plus cousin is a lifelong musician (and current music teacher) and has been playing guitar and piano for nearly 40 years. He has 4 kids & teaches music at 2 of the kids' school, and actually leads / coordinates the annual Christmas concert (kindergarden through grade 7). It's pretty impressive. We've been going the past few years and always fun to support family ... but yeah - pops gave him those crates of records. Pretty good stuff ... all types of genres over the decades. Mostly 60s to 80s stuff.

Thanks! Agreed. Yeah ... as we all get older, it's always good to appreciate what you have in life.

I was just thinking about this past week. Spent Monday evening with my aunt. Thursday evening with pops. Work is consistent. No complaints really. Gonna spend time with mom when she's in town again in mid-Sept. Got some vacation time spread out from Sept - Nov, and a whole bunch in December.

Let us know how that new City of God is!



:cheers::thumbsup:

This the good life indeed!

City series ain’t bad so far. Not sure how it’ll hold up of course but it’s kinda nice “catching up with old friends” which most of this first episode is.

Nice. I was just talking to my mom on the phone yesterday and she attended her sister's 80th birthday on Saturday. Sounds like they had a good time. They're about 5 hours away from here.


Sounds good re: the series.

Reasonable Doubt on Hulu.

This is not a Tyler Perry production. No lame ass, lazy, uninspired writing. It's good, and good acting... From everybody, except one dude, he sucks. You'll notice him right away, but he's not a main character.

The writing is natural and not predictable, and the interactions are natural and not forced. It has the feel of a much better done scandal without the white boyfriend, and the overwhelming majority of the cast is black. It's the best black show since Insecure (also, the music is on point)

Also black, the directors, the writers, and the showrunners. It's just on season 2 so you've got about 12 episodes before you catch up to waiting to watch an episode once a week.

Kerry Washington is one of the executive producers and also directed the first episode. The star of the show is fine as hell, just a pretty sister, and she sharp as fuck and on her shit.

Also, see if you recognize the star's mother. No hints. I was shocked, because I haven't seen her as an actress in years. But I know her through her relatives
