Fun TV Shows


I've been watching Robin Hood (the BBC show that ran from 2006 to 2009) on Netflix, and I enjoy it tremendously.  The acting is good, and I like the interaction between the characters.  It's interesting to watch the various interpretations of the Robin Hood story.  This show has a more "contemporary" feel for lack of a better way to put it, but the basic idea of the good guy becoming an outlaw and helping the oppressed is still evident.



I especially like the interaction between Robin (Jonas Armstrong) and Marian (Lucy Griffiths).




I hate the Sheriff of Nottingham's (Keith Allen) and Guy of Gisborne's (Richard Armitage) characters, and that is an indication of good acting on their part in my opinion.  It's amusing how Robin and his friends seem to always outsmart these villains and they end up looking like idiots. Robin Hood is worth watching.


I'm watching the ninth season of Dr. Who, so I'm nearly caught up.  I like the 12th Doctor (Peter Capaldi) a lot, and I love Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman).  However, I would have to say David Tennant as the 10th Doctor is my favorite.  The various actors have all contributed to the Doctor role in their own way; it's just a matter of preference.
