Signs - Signs of the times 4

And again another sign from the times we're living now.
This was the cover of the TV magazine in the Weekend West, a Perth weekend newspaper, from the 28th of March.

A lot of people who are self-isolating are probably watching a lot more TV. Because I still go to work my tv watching is limited to the normal programs I enjoy watching - medical or legal series. What about you, are you binge-watching tv? What do you enjoy watching?

For other signs from around the world please pop over to Tom's blog.

  1. Sami, I´m still, or again, watching Quantum Leap!
    Real TV in Germany is dumb!
    I watch Jamie and Gennaro on FB.

    It is cold here, only 11C. But we´re off for a little isolated walk now, the sun is shining!

    1. Soon you'll be getting warmer. Our temperatures dropped from last week, but still great days in the 20's C, just at night getting cooler.
      Quantum Leap was a good series, enjoy. Have a nice weekend Iris.

  2. That’s a well known sign from both world wars. But still effective by the look of it only with its meaning 180 degrees turned. Thanks for showing Sami.

  3. That's a pretty graphic image, reminiscent of wartime images, as others have pointed out - entirely appropriate, for in effect we are in a war now against the Coronavirus.

  4. Defective memory, but is't a bit like Stalin's fist photo? Not binge watching although have signed up to Stan for the free first month. I can't see us paying.

    1. A bit war like I suppose, but I think in a fun way too. Enjoy Stan Andrew, we have Netflix, but I hardly watch anything there.

  5. Oh, Sami, this is fabulous. We should start a collection of all the ads from this painful time.

  6. I’m still at work too, even though it’s at home during this period. I like to watch a good detective on tv, preferably one made jn Scandinavia.

  7. I love British mysteries and drama and just finished the wonderful "The English Game" about the development of professional football. They took some liberties with the timelines and characters but as long as one doesn't care (I didn't!) It is well worth a watch.

  8. ...Sami, this one is GREAT! Who would like the screen time would be good for your health. I rarely watch TV, but I'm on computer a lot. Take care and stay safe!

  9. I love the sign Sami! People in the Philippines at the moment is either crazy about Money Heist (Spanish Series) or Kingdom (Korean Series). But I personally prefer Thai Series these past few weeks since they are light and comical but at the same time there are plot twists that will make you cry and amazed all at the same time!

  10. We're not doing that. We've not changed anything except where we go. Mostly stay in and shop once a week for groceries.

    Have a fabulous day. ♥
