Yeah ... I'd want to investigate the vague yet powerful utility of sprockets.

Six Feet Under

I'd hang with Ruth any day (and Claire. and Brenda and Billy. and David and Keith. and Nicolai). Maybe Nate.
Never Lisa.

Brilliant.

I'd also like to live in the very short lived NBC sitcom Crowded. The characters seemed pretty kewl & Miranda Cosgrove was a main character in there. She was a dorky astrophysicist.

Some of the Roy Rogers movies. Home in Oklahoma would be a good example (If I'm thinking of the right movie). My favorite part of the movie was the weekly breakfast at a ranch with the tables outside and you rode to it and back on your horse.

Hatari! starring John Wayne. They gather wild animals from Africa to sell to zoos. I've read that Hatari! was the movie that John Wayne enjoyed doing the most because. You can see why from watching him ride on a seat mounted on the front fender of a pickup as it speeds across the plains trying to catch rhinos. And their capturing of monkeys was downright hilarious.

Hard work, fair pay, low prices. Wouldn't become rich, but one should get by decently.

Regarding Hatari!, John Wayne reportedly said that the most fun he ever had working on a movie was on that movie.

How could this not be fun?

what woulda been John Wayne's last movie, that remained unmade due to his premature death [likely date of completion would have been in late 1979, the year of Wayne's demise], was called "Beau John" and was set in 1920s Kansas, it would have been an interesting visit in any case.

How could I forget?

The tv show Last of the Summer Wine was sheer greatness.

Basically, it is three older friends who go about getting into problems in various schemes and misunderstandings. Think of it as a second childhood at the age when most people are doing less and less.

It was the longest running English situation comedy -- 30 or 31 seasons, if I remember correctly.

They have many of the episodes on youtube. For example,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdeV0JZVpDI

In many of the episodes, especially the early ones, it can be a bit of a problem understanding everything. This is partially from the English accents as well as the quality of the filming back then.

If I remember correctly, only two actors made it through the entire series. Norman Clegg was one. The other was the woman with the cafe. Nora Batty nearly made it but she died of brain cancer a year or two before the series ended.
