“‘Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.’ It is shot in New York, and that is my hometown.”

“‘The Golden Girls.’ I like the characters.”
Linda C.
Life Care Center of Cape Girardeau, Missouri
“Actually, I have two shows. One is ‘America’s Got Talent’ – so much great talent that most people would never see if it wasn’t for this program. I don’t always agree with the AGT judges, but that’s life. My second TV show that I like is ‘NCIS.’ The character Agent Sutter closely relates to what I did in my time in my military service, and the show is very well written, reasonably authentic and has a good cast, in my opinion!”
Don A.

“‘Jeopardy!’ I used to like to see if I could answer the questions.”

“I really like ‘I Love Lucy.’ She’s so silly!”

Betty G.
Life Care Center of Gray, Tennessee
“I would have to say one of my favorite TV shows is ‘Supernatural.’ I like it for several reasons. One is the main characters are really cute, which is always a plus. Also, the brothers are on a new adventure every episode, hunting monsters and demons and even angels, protecting the world from the things that we aren’t ready for. It also has a great storyline of what brothers will do for each other.”
Lori L.
Life Care Center of Tucson, Arizona
“Fox News. They do a good job of reporting. Also like old movies and wrestling. I know it’s fake, but it’s good acting.”
Donald D.
Life Care Center of Sandpoint, Idaho
“I like Westerns because I like the people. Cowboys are the most honest people I know. They work without too much politics. They are very hard workers.”
Gene H.

“I like the morning news every day and The Weather Channel at noon time for storm updates.”
