I'm not sure how or when it happened last month, but some how I stumbled upon a little known streaming service called Tubi. With a library of more than 20,000 shows and movies, users can watch an unlimited number of ad supported shows absolutely free at www.tubitv.com. No membership, credit cards or subscription is required to binge watch shows non-stop.
Barely eight minutes into browsing their selections I was hooked when I came across the Gothic vampire soap opera from my childhood Dark Shadows. Home with measles when I was about nine years old or so, I only got to watch a few shows. Starting next week, I'm going toss a bag of popcorn in the microwave and log on to Tubi to start watching all six season which ran originally from June 1966 to April 1971.
Then today, while looking for The Sentinel's first installment of what to on Tubi, I came across another favorite television show I loved. Between episodes of Dark Shadows I catch an episode or two of the western TV series Rifleman starring Chuck Connors.
There are shows for all ages with kids shows like Pound Puppies, Casper The Friendly Ghost and Transformers. Nancy Drew, Space and Skooled for older kids.
War Movies? Check.
LGBQT? Check.
Horror? You bet.
Foreign language films? Yep. There is a nice selection of Spanish language shows, a handful of Bollywood serials and a large list of Asian drama and romance titles to check out.
Each month we will be sharing a list of ten shows worth watching or that look interesting enough to escape and leave behind for a few hours our world currently fraught with Coronavirus and polarizing political propaganda.

There aren't many Kevin Costner films that I like and admittedly I also like this film so much because of the last name. Anyways, in my book, this is one of the best films in Costner's career.

This is the movie that led off a successful movie franchise nearly a quarter of a century ago starring Arnold Schwarzenegger (Predator, Kindergarten Cop), Michael Biehn (Aliens, The Rock) and Linda Hamilton (Beauty and the Beast, Hill Street Blues, Secret Weapons) in a groundbreaking science fiction film.

Ethan Renner decides to give up his dangerous, high-stakes life as a spy after he is diagnosed with at terminal disease. Entertaining film about reconnection, bonding and saying goodbye. RATED: PG-13 • Running time: 1 hr 57 min • Action, Thriller
True confession: Sometime after college I went to see a movie described as a black comedy. I was expecting a movie, rare as it would have been in the early 80s, featuring an all African American cast. Despite it being an entertaining and mildly successful film featuring Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer, imagine my disappointment when there wasn't one person of color in the film. Well, this is a black comedy or perhaps a bitter one is directed by Cheryl Hines who is married to environmental attorney and vaccine-safety activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.. The movie about an accidental love triangle features Meg Ryan, Timothy Hutton, Kristen Bell, and Justin Long. Not for young eyes and ears, the movie has strong, sexually frank language and contains some violence. RATED: R • Running time: 1h 21min • Comedy, Crime, Romance

Nearly half of older Americans can’t even afford basic needs
I worked hard my whole career and retired feeling secure. Then I lost every last dime in a scam. I was left with $1,300 a month in Social Security benefits to live on in an area where monthly expenses run about $3,700.
I’m a smart woman, but scams against older Americans are increasing in number and sophistication. Whether through scams, strained savings, or costs of living going up, half of older Americans — that’s 27 million households — can’t afford their basic needs.
I find myself in dire need of sincere counsel, as I am increasingly convinced that my romantic life has taken on the unfortunate semblance of a rom-com wherein I alone remain bereft of the script. I'm 31, will defend my thesis this May, and have a great job lined-up.
My boyfriend, aged 32, embodies the quintessential extrovert—gregarious, enamored with nightlife, and perpetually surrounded by a coterie of approximately twenty friends who reside in close proximity and convene incessantly. Initially, I admired his vivacity and character.

HPAI, primarily affecting birds, poses significant risks to pets, particularly those that may ...
What da funk? A stinky body can be a sign of a health issue
Death, taxes and body odor.
They’re things we can all expect in life, no matter how clean you are. But health care providers want you to know when body odor is a sign of a more serious health problem.
B.O. basics
Luis Garcia, MD, an OSF HealthCare pediatrician, says sweat and bacteria are the main culprits behind body odor. Warmth and moisture in parts of the body (like your armpits and feet), plus going through puberty and general poor hygiene, can make the smell worse.
