THE COUCH - TV Chat Thread

I've given up on Doctor Doctor tonight. First time I haven't recorded it. This season has been so bad (despite strong actors like Tina Bursill and Nicole Da Silva).

I am watching the end 15 mins, it is funny, and not about footy - so far
Is it all just funny? And no dreaded footy???
 
I just watched a remake of Dirty Dancing. Terrible. Truly terrible.

I am impressed you made it all the way through. I saw the credits at the beginning and it just made me sad. Why remake a movie if you can't do it justice?
 
I tried re-watching how i met your mother. Haven't seen it for a few years. Couldn't get past the first two seasons. Nothing to do with knowing the ending. More like I don't like the characters and the humor is boring and stupid.

Wow, really interesting doco, his own kid not diagnosed!

Dr Attwood thinks in ways I did, lots of mental health issues in my family, and I had this driving passion writing poetry in my teens - how if you don't fit in, get labelled crazy, is just different ways of seeing the world.
 
This series, combines stories about epic modern historical movements/issues, and the music, is fantastic

Soundtracks: Songs That Defined History

'The Berlin Wall And The Fall Of Communism'

SBS, 8:30pm, Sun, 1 Oct 2017, 50 minutes



After decades living under a repressive Communist regime, the people of East Germany could no longer stay trapped behind the brick wall that separated them from their countrymen in the West - and so they tore that Wall down. Since the 1960s, West Berlin had been a cultural hotspot and a draw for artists like the Rolling Stones and David Bowie. But because rock music was considered politically dangerous to the Communist authorities, teenagers in the East had little access to it. This episode charts the course of the Cold War in Berlin through music, showing how it helped to sow the seeds of rebellion. After the Wall officially came down in 1989, a number of artists including Roger Waters of Pink Floyd put on concerts to celebrate. But it was a German band, the Scorpions, who came up with the true anthem of that moment in time, 'Wind of Change', which captured the bittersweet emotions behind such a dramatic moment in history.

'Out Loud And Proud'

SBS, 9:20pm, Sun, 1 Oct 2017, 50 minutes



The LGBT movement in America began one night in late June on the streets of Greenwich Village, New York, in a bar called the Stonewall Inn. When police raided the place, gay men and women who had been made to live in the shadows of shame finally decided to fight back against the police, and to demand their civil rights. Bars and dance clubs were - and still are - places of refuge for LGBT people, and the music played on jukeboxes, from Judy Garland to Gloria Gaynor, has also been a vital aspect of the LGBT experience over the past five decades. Although the 1980s and 90s brought the AIDS crisis and anti-gay legislation that threatened the LGBT community, it only strengthened the resolve of activists - and artists - to push harder. Some musicians incorporated aspects of LGBT life into their lyrics. Others have furthered the cause of equality simply by coming out of the closet. This is a struggle that is not over, but with allies in popular culture like Lady Gaga, this episode shows the power of music to raise awareness and to preach tolerance.
