My TV - old and new

Nice to read the Damien Lewis’s series “Life” was renewed for another season.

Gene Hunt will return, but right now he is going to “Cranford.”

Life After Mars
As no-nonsense, Cortina-driving cop Gene Hunt, Philip Glenister became a cult hero. Now he’s trading in the camel coat for a cravat and breeches, and swapping Seventies Salford for Victorian Cheshire

Tomorrow is the final episode of Five Days on HBO. It has been a twisted, fascinating journey through the first 4 days. Can’t wait for the finale.

UPDATE: The Final episode of Five Days did not disappoint. The villain looked and acted like a villain, the poor accomplice died a sad death, Dad and kids were reunited, and Sara Smart was left with getting on with her own life. All actors were top notch, with Hugh Bonneville and Penelope Wilton taking the prize in this final ep.

Powerful episode last night - with three women (Kath, Eileen and Rose) and Michael at the center. Such an addictive show! Jason Isaacs makes Michael someone you have to watch, even if you want to look away.

Right now Sunday night is a tough one. I have my Guilty Pleasure, Brothers and Sisters, on Channel 7 a 10, Brotherhood on Showtime at 10, and the end of PBS’s The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard ending at 10:30. What to do??? I use my DVD recorder and my old VCR to get everything taped away.

Plus tonight is possibly the final game of the baseball season. Can’t miss that one! But still I will break away at 10 for Brotherhood.
