I seem to be into "campy" lately so I'm looking forward to checking this show out.<br /><br />I've never been a fan of the 'Good Witch' TV show or Catherine Bell's role in it. I loved her in Army Wives, though. <br /><br />Thanks Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-12739517029905733492022-01-27T14:35:20.839-05:002022-01-27T14:35:20.839-05:00I second "RuPaul's Drag Race".

If so, with a Roku, (which is a small simple remote with a simple plug in to the rear of your smart TV and a user friendly set up) you CAN choose which channels you watch, most with a 7 day free trial which is adequate to decide whether you want to subscribe.

You have to get to Season 2 of Schitt's Creek before you become emotionally invested in it. I loved it then. We watch most shows on Acorn or Amazon Prime, so no real help about Netflix. Also, I agree with your analysis of Never-a-Bride. That's one creepy movie to love.
