Robert Ebsen
Maybe it already exists. Maybe not. I am talking about a computer program that will match people according to their favorite TV shows.
Long ago I decided that you cannot take a reviewer’s word, or anyone’s, as to whether you will enjoy a movie. You have to see it for yourself. The same goes for television shows. I won’t ever try to convince you to watch my favorite shows.
But I would like to see someone collect the lists of people’s five favorite TV shows in rank order, and have a computer determine which individuals match up – exactly, or very close.
What will those matches tell about the people who matched up?
It will say there is a special connection between them. Will the connection foster romance or new friendships? Who knows? Anyhow, it is time to give it a try. To initiate my new program, here are my top five in order.
If anyone matches up, please email me. Note, however, that I am happily married.
- Madam Secretary: The lead actors are so real. Juxtaposing their political and mundane lives makes for quite a show.
- Law and Order SVU: Sgt. Benson and Officer Rollins are amazing
- Suits: Love those characters, especially Louis
- Shark Tank: Love the sharks and the new products
- 60 Minutes: Most episodes are terrific
I recommend watching the pilot episodes for all new TV shows. Often, I believe, you will have enough information to help you decide if that show is going on your “got to watch” list.
Why didn’t I suggest a list of 10 top TV shows? Because I don’t watch more than these five shows. I wonder what that says about me.
