Screen Time: Craving comfort food television

Back when I reviewed movies in actual movie theaters, I would often get asked, “What have you seen lately?” I knew the question translated to “What
movies have you seen lately?” because there really was no other possibility. In early-cable and pre-streaming days, movies captured the public’s attention and imagination in ways television typically didn’t. We could certainly be entertained by a particular lineup of shows (remember NBC’s “Must see TV!”), but theatrical films still felt special and important in ways television didn’t.
Now, of course, the answer to the question “What have you seen lately?” is wide open. Could be a movie seen in a theater, though more likely the response involves something you’ve seen on a TV, computer, or cell phone screen. That’s where we’ve lived for the last year.

If you’re a true streaming warrior, surely you’ve studied up on the offerings available through heavy-hitters like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. But unless you’re really metal, you’re likely sleeping on one underdog streamer: our old pal PBS. Maybe you’ve written PBS off as a network for elderly folks, or perhaps you stopped loving public television after your
Reading Rainbow days ended, but we’re here to tell you that you’re missing out. PBS has more to offer than just
Miss Marple or
Downton Abbey in fact, the network boasts a vast library of sumptuous period dramas, mysteries, adventurous culinary programming, riveting documentaries, and more.

Looking for the next great binge-worthy series? Mark your calendars for Wednesday, May 12 because that s when Discovery+ s latest show,
Clipped, debuts, and it promises to be an idyllic escape for garden enthusiasts and aesthetes alike. The show stars Martha Stewart, acclaimed landscape designer Fernando Wong (you may recognize him from the 2021 Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach), and lifestyle expert Chris Lambton as the judges for what Wong says is like The Great British Baking Show but for horticulture designers vying for a $50,000 prize.
The six-part series features 90-minute episodes with various challenges to highlight the skills of the seven-event designers, artists, and botanical designers competing for the spot as top topiarist, all from a charming setting in Lindenhurst, New York.
