AT HOME VIEWING What to Stream? Cowboys talk about their binge-watching pleasures With rodeos on hold due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, cowboys have found themselves with a lot of unexpected free time. They are finding ways to keep busy during the quarantine, and one way is binge watching TV shows or movies, via cable, satellite or streaming. ProRodeo Sports News decided to find out what’s keeping some cowboys glued to the tube.

SAGE KIMZEY Reigning six-time PRCA World Champion Bull Rider The Harry Potter series: The Sorcerer’s Stone (2001); The Chamber of Secrets (2002); The Prisoner of Azkaban (2004); The Goblet of Fire (2005); The Order of the Phoeni x (2007); The Half-Blood Prince (2009); and The Deathly Hallows - Part 1 (2010) and Part 2 (2011). “Alexis (Bloomer, Kimzey’s fiancée) had not seen the Harry Potter movies. So, we watched all the Harry Potters and got her educated on Harry. I read the books growing up, but she didn’t, which was surprising because she is a reader. I don’t know that she’s a super-huge Harry Potter fan, but she appreciated he always did the right thing.” RICHMOND CHAMPION Five-time qualifier to the Wrangler NFR in bareback riding “The Office” (NBC series that aired 2005-13). “We (he and his wife, Paige) love “The Office.” We are on the last season right now. I don’t know what we will watch next, but that has been getting us through the last few weeks. I traveled with Jessy Davis and he loved “The Office.” Going down the road, I would see an episode or two, but never in sequence.

The documentary series debuted March 20. “It was something else, wasn’t it? It was odd to say the least. It just seemed like things just kept getting more bizarre. Joe Exotic is a character, from eastern Oklahoma, that’s for sure. Carol Baskin is just as goofy as Joe is. I never thought I would be bored enough to watch a show like this. It was just odd.” J. TOM FISHER Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping qualifier “Designated Survivor” TV series that aired 2016-19. “Kiefer Sutherland is the star of the show. My wife (Sarah) and I started watching that. We started watching it the night of (April 3), and gosh, we didn’t go to bed until like 5 in the morning. We did it again the next day. It is really similar to a show called “24” that I used to be obsessed with. That also starred Kiefer Sutherland. “Designated Survivor” just keeps you on your toes. You’re always wanting to see what happens next. It’s also great because there are no commercials and you can just go right into the next episode.” – Tracy Renck

the storyline and all the work that went into making them. What I like most about Harry Potter is the story of the good guy winning. No matter what he was faced with,
