Who Knocks You Out?

[Auntie Biache']

Who has a voice that puts you to sleep?

After the move, I started sleeping with the tv on. I've gone through several programs that help me fall asleep. First, Bob Ross. There were a few other programs I watched that put me to sleep, but now I depend on Monty Don. Works every time.

I can't sleep with the TV or lights on.

Rick Steves.

I can't sleep without background noise, tetris works pretty good

Tetris would make me nuts.

Deadwood put me to sleep. Some episodes of Boardwalk Empire, too.

 

[GWguy]

Anything at all, provided I've already seen it more than twice.

If I'm tired enough, anything will put me to sleep. We've been bingeing Blacklist, and I fall asleep to that-even with the guns firing every 5 minutes.

The 11 news! I am usually in bed by 10 -10:15, read a little and the tv is on. As soon as the news comes on, I'm out!

Not a who but a what. I have spells of insomnia and tried all the remedies I could find. What worked for me was turning the TV to the 24-hour Smooth Jazz station with no commercials on cable with the volume down so it just plays softly as I slumber. I turn down the screen too so I don't see the graphics flashing.

For some reason, music keeps me awake. My foot will go tap tap tap against the covers, my hips wiggle, I hum along. Music no worky for me. I need a nice, smooth, monotone to put me to sleep. Drives hubby up the wall. If I wake up in the middle of the night, which I do several times every night, I start a new show to fall back to sleep to.

We've been bingeing Blacklist

Is it good? We need a new show to binge on.

It is good, but I'll admit to having a little trouble with some of the actors. I don't like the actress who portrays Elizabeth Keen. I think that could have been cast better. She just doesn't exude "FBI". She's too "girl next door". And, I'm having a little trouble getting used to the mature James Spader. While I love how he portrays Reddington, I'm still adjusting. I keep looking for traces of the young Spader. Overall, it's a well done program, and Spader kicks ass, then takes names. It's fun, with lots of "wow" factor. Then, some of the supporting characters (regulars) are a little hard to buy into. Great guest appearances! Alan Alda, Paul Reubens (Ick, I know), Mary Louise Parker (Weeds), as Reddingtons ex-wife, and more that are listed on IMDB that I recognize from other programs/movies that I look forward to seeing.

I'm still not used to it. Within the last month or two, both "Pretty in Pink" and "Stargate" have been on TV - and part of me says how in God's name can this still be James Spader? Even John Travolta just looks like an older Vinnie Barbarino, but damn did Spader get old fast.

I still love it - the very first episode definitely hooks you. My wife got tired of it after two or three seasons of some of the "mysteries" being left unresolved. But mainly she gave up when Thomas Keen spun off the failed Blacklist Redemption spinoff.

I think Spader looks much better than Travolta.
