Texas style

If you're tired of crappy TV that makes you feel like you're not learning, may I suggest crappy TV that makes you feel like you're learning? Texas Ranch House is being re-run on our local PBS station, and it's a fine addition to the line-up of the "BLANK House" series.

This one had me cheering in the last episode, since the "antagonists" are so easy to dislike. Fairly straight ahead stuff: a family is the "ranch" family working with the "cowboys" in for three months in an 1800s style setting. The rancher has to deliver 200 head of cattle at the end of those three months and sell them for profit.

This version had lots of likable folks and stupid and funny. The show passes on a lot of PSBesque info and it's pretty entertaining. Any time I cheer at the TV and mock others it's gotta be a weiner, right?

It's official: When you're listening to NPR and watching PBS on a regular basis, you're an old fogey.

I'm so old.
