First I hope you feel better soon.


Carl Sagen’s universe, How the universe works, the universe on history, What the bleep do we know, Life After People, Steven Hawking, Ted Talks (pick your topic)...all my geeky picks and almost any documentary that’s been on History


Being laid up after surgery is what got me into some of my favorite programs (Block Buster) Most of these should be on the Netflix site...

Drop dead Diva (cute and funny with heartbreak thrown in for good measure)
The Tudors (they have all the seasons...but it’s not a happy show a little steamy it is History dramatized....richly done)
Futurama and South Park....crude, rude, mostly childish humor on both behalf’s.
Mad Men (serious show)
4 seasons of Ugly Betty (cute funny)
7 seasons of desperate housewives (serious dark humor)
Bones (crime drama with slight humor)



Abc.com also allows viewing of past episodes
Greys Anatomy
Once upon a time
Revenge
Scandal

I am a documentory nut, science or medical. Like the oldies black and white movies. Really intersted in a wide variety of things, history ect.

ok, dove, i have the perfect book for you, based on your description of your interests. it's called "the great influenza" and it's by john m. barry. It's about the pandemic of 1918 and the founding of johns hopkins. It's available in paperback. i hope that your surgery goes well and that your recovery is as smooth as possible!
