I am an early 50s female. I still like the old cartoons I grew up with. I also like the old Speed Racer cartoons. I have a younger brother who watched those, so that's how I got to start watching them. I also like the Die Hard movies. Not the gory stuff, but at least the gory stuff fits the plot lines. I have Die Hard 1-4. I think they may have made a fifth one, and if so, I will eventually get it. I also like the old Mission Impossible series. I have a couple of seasons on DVD, and plan to get the rest of them. Although I am female, I tend to prefer cop/detective shows, westerns, and adventure show. I have no interest in girly shows or soap operas. Besides my life has been like a bad soap opera. Why waste time watching bad fictional ones when I can just reflect on my own life and family situation? As far as I'm concerned, there are no good soap operas. The story lines are dumb, and sometimes filthy as well. I speak from experience. My mother used to watch them when I was a child, so I couldn't help seeing them. Also, a couple I was friends with years ago watched them at home, so I couldn't help seeing them, then either, when I was at their apartment. I never liked soap operas, though.
I also like old war pix, and some old comedy shows and movies.
