Thanks for the thread, jlgarfield. Over the past couple of weeks several people I have called good friends over the years have dealt with a loss of a great person & mentor that we first met on platform similar to this one. There is a connection I think.
When not focusing on TPIR, I'm a fan of Wheel and Jeopardy (two historics GS along with Price). Plus, Family Feud (all the version but more focus on original Dawson, Combs, and Harvey). In addition, Match Game (original) and $25K/$100K Pyramid with Dick Clark are my go-to Game Shows. Outside of gameshows, TV programs are mostly sports these days, and some reality (not as much as before). I don't watch sitcoms, comedy & action shows as much since my schedule is busy & their shows are available on the Internet and OnDemand.
Outside of TV, my hobbies include movies, amusement parks, golfing whenever possible, hanging out with friends, sports decisions, and reading. Finally, when not doing those or whatever else I didn't mention, I like to spend time with family or catch-up be it phone, text, skype, or however else
I used to be on a not defunct site that grew in popularity over the years after its launch. There was a show that was discussed to an extreme and a bunch of people met up at a bar to watch a finale show in New York together. It was very special; the stars of the show "crashed" the party Subsequent seasons and finales would grow in capacity and popularity. In time the regulars would get to know each other and the topics grew from the show in discussion to other TV shows and then non-TV. We went from posters to friends not just limited to the Internet but friends at the level of local friends.
As mentioned, one member passed last month, and had it not been for getting to know that person or everyone outside of television, we might not have ever known.
