Greetings, my lovelies. Let's get to it, shall we? Here we go...

WHAT I'M WATCHING/WHAT YOU SHOULD BE WATCHING (OLD SCHOOL)

1. "Parks and Recreation" (2009 - 2015) (Better known as "Parks and Rec' " to true die hard fans. Available to stream on both Netflix and Hulu)

I'm as they would say on Twitter #lateinthegame. I am now a fan. I'm binge watching my way through Season One, and I am DEFINITELY Team Leslie Knope.

Here's a season one trailer...

2. "Workaholics" (2011 - 2017) (available on Hulu)

I loved the first four seasons of this show, and I'm determined to finish all seven seasons. Admittedly, this show is sophomoric in every way. You'll love it.

Here's the premise...

Late nights and lazy days are a thing of the past for three college friends who enter the workforce together. Well, maybe not! For Blake, Adam and Anders, making the transition from slacker students to prompt professional telemarketers isn't a smooth one, considering dress codes, deadlines and actually using an alarm clock are foreign concepts to the guys. So they spend their days avoiding doing any real work before looking for a good time at night.

Here's a glimpse of our three slacker heroes ...

WHAT I'M WATCHING/WHAT YOU SHOULD BE WATCHING (AFTER HALLOWEEN VIEWING)

Halloween may be over, but if you can't get enough of the spooky and kooky. Here are some horror movies for you to peruse before Thanksgiving.

I present to you a few suggestions...

1. "The Babysitter" (2017) (streaming on Netflix)

This looks like a fun silly romp. I plan to have it on my radar for Halloween viewing.

Check out the trailer...

2. "Something Wicked this Way Comes" (1983)

Originally a Ray Bradbury story. I have never seen the film, but I'm willing to give it a whirl.

Here's the trailer....

3. "Suspiria" (1977)

I know everyone is talking about the re-make with Dakota Johnson, BUT if you haven't, you MUST see the original film by Daria Argento. It's a classic. Here's the trailer...

4. "The Cabin in the Woods" (2012)

This Drew Goddard directed romp is a great fun ride. If you haven't seen it, I HIGHLY suggest it.

Here's the trailer...

5. "Scanners" (1981)

Director David Cronenberg's movie is a great 80's film. Here's the premise...

Scanners are men and women born with incredible telepathic and telekinetic powers. There are many who exercise the benefits of their special gifts in a safe and judicious manner. However, there is a group of renegade scanners who plan to create a race that will rule the world

Here's a trailer...
