It's going to be a long summer, nothing on TV - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The Whispers looks really promising, I've loved the ads for it. The Whispers will be airing Mondays at 10:01 on ABC starting next week. I've also been enjoying the weeklong 500 Questions game show event, airs every night at 8:00 on ABC with a 2 hour finale on Thursday. And I would consider 500 Questions a family friendly show that doesn't have objectionable content.

I'm going to try 'The Astronaut Wives Club'. It's supposed start June 18th. I hope it's as good as it sounds but afraid to get my hopes up.

Based on Lily Koppel's best-selling titular novel, which tells the real story of the women who stood beside some of the biggest heroes in American history during the height of the space race.

I try most shows with the exception of Reality. Just because there are shows on doesn't mean they are shows worth watching. Just my humble opinion.

UMFaninMD · 05-28-2015, 06:28 PM

I'm going to check out The Whispers too. I also watch Salem on Sunday nights at 10 pm on WGN America. But if you aren't down with gore and sex and violence that can outdo Game of Thrones at times, this show is not for you. And Doctor Who comes back in August, but that's late in the summer and I consider that more of a fall show.

I don't follow a lot of shows and I tend to read more in the summer too. I also watch movies and old shows on YouTube, which is perfect for those stormy evenings and weekends!

I got my hopes up with Aquarius and I was disappointed. I thought it would be more about the 60's and not so much on Charles Mansion.

I was having trouble keeping up with it! Seemed it was all over the place or something. And the guy they have playing Manson looks NOTHING like him. I found it sort of confusing!

Patty Duke · 06-08-2015, 03:56 PM

I tried The Whispers, Wayward Pines and Aquarius.

Let's just say I'd rather watch nothing than settle for shows I don't like.

tlc38tlc38 · 06-08-2015, 06:03 PM

^I like "Wayward Pines". I've been watching with my mom...she also loves it and can't wait for the next episode.

I usually use the Summer to catch up on my DVD watching.

Flying Dutchman · 06-08-2015, 06:36 PM

I can see it's going to be a Netflix/Redbox summer. Not a big deal. I can live with that. I will be watching my many DVD sitcom sets over and over. But then there is Sitcoms online to help with the boredom. I can spend hours on here just scanning the pages. Commenting on the many threads. What was it that Maxwell Smart said? "Annnnddd.....Loving It!!!"

UMFaninMD · 06-08-2015, 09:18 PM

I watched The Whispers. Then I read online it's based on Ray Bradbury's story The Zero Hour, which I'm very familiar with, so I already know most of the plot. I don't know how they're going to drag out a short story but based off the bad acting from some of the child co-stars, I'm going to take a pass on this. The original story I've seen done on Ray Bradbury Theater back in the 80's, and this could have stayed as a 2 hour TV movie easily, not a whole series.

TVFactFan · 06-08-2015, 09:20 PM

Not for me since I have

Antenna TV

TV One

Youtube

dakert · 06-08-2015, 10:33 PM

Big Brother starts wednesday June 24th

Patty Duke · 06-09-2015, 09:38 AM

With so much Reality TV on, I wish I liked it, it would certainly fill a lot of hours. I have tried it and it's just not my cup of tea.

Yeah, I'll have to see if there's anything in the hundreds of thousands of shows in my collection for me to watch.
