You might think that listening to these old TV series, while I work on my designs for Siemens, might not be as satisfying as just sitting on a sofa and watching them. Most of these old classic shows I record have a lot of dialogue and I can figure out what’s gong on, without having to watch it (it also helps if I’ve seen the show before) but I have to admit, Mannix is one of those shows that tends to have more action than conversations. Like any rough, tough private eye, Mannix gets into a lot of fist fights (and gets knocked out quite a lot) but despite all of that, I’m able to enjoy this background entertainment noise just fine.
