Yawnit's only going to get worse due to the writers strike. Maybe the major studios will go on a catalog 4K release binge, but I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah I know. Was just telling my wife about this. Ugh. Feels like forever since I’ve been down in my theater.To fill the void, we just watched Seal Team on Paramount+ over the past couple of months. We really enjoyed it a lot. Also finished up The Crown. I think we're going to watch The Diplomat next, and then cancel Netflix for a while and sing up for Apple TV. They seem to have a lot of content that I haven't seen yet outside of the first season of For All Mankind.
We've really enjoyed Seal Team over the years. If you like that go back and watch The Unit if you haven't. Not as many seasons but really strong military show with more of the "intelligence" element and a bit less of the "family life".Thanks Paul. Speaking of SF, have you watched The Expanse? We absolutely loved it. In fact, I ended up getting the Blu-ray set for Christmas.
Apple TV has some strong shows. I feel like they've got a bit less of a "throw as many darts as we can" approach than NetFlix & Amazon took, with a little higher average level of quality. And a lot of SF shows. I've been leery of Foundation b/c the books were a big favorite as a kid (and admittedly are completely un-filmable in original form) but I keep hearing good things overall. Silo was quite good.
Yeah I know. Was just telling my wife about this. Ugh. Feels like forever since I’ve been down in my theater.Really? I've been rewatching classics. I had a " Western and Whisky Week, and watched Django ( 4K ), A Fist Full Of Dollars ( 4K ), For A Few Dollars More ( 4K), and The Good, Bad and Ugly ( 4K ).

When they moved it behind a paywall we stopped watching it. A shame.
Man I wish I could get into new series. Just can’t seem to do itI can't either. Plus, no time. Series are very time consuming. Going to be spending more time in our new camper van, so the theater will be reserved for movies when we have time and are home. I'm not going to the mountains to watch TV.
I totally agree with you guys about Seal Team. It's been a great series so far but it seems to be coming to an end.Season 7 will be the final season of the show. We'll miss the characters. I was shocked to learn that the guy who plays Jason Hayes is the same age as me (he's actually about 2 weeks older). I wish I was in as good as shape as he is!
Most everyone is getting their personal lives together. So, it's either the end of the show or a major character is about to die or go off the deep end.
With the writer's and actor's strikes going on, we have been watching a lot of Amazon Prime programming. Reacher and The Wheel of Time have been good series so far. I don't miss most of what we used to watch on "regular TV".

I wish I was in as good as shape as he is!I've been watching David Boreanaz pretty much his whole TV career - Buffy, Angel, Bones, Seal Team. No real down time between those - he's had an amazing run with 4 really good shows. Not many actors get one of those, much less 4.

Frankly, until Covid hit, I rarely watched any TV shows outside of a sitcom or two over the past 20 years unless they came to Blu-ray and I got to review them. I'm actually happy about the writers/actors strike because it has allowed me to watch some pretty good shows over the past 6 months (and Covid helped as well since I didn't have to travel for work).
