well that's what's funny - there is only one tv in the main room there, so we would all need to "agree" on what the watch :D

Oh, I likes 'em....I likes 'em a hole bunch!

Unfortunately the head attached to them is usually unbearable!

Kind of like putting a Wallmart reel on an expensive rod.

I just returned from a week and a half at the family compound in West Dennis. My house is the oldest (around 125) and least upgraded. No phone, no cable, no wireless. there isn't a three prong electrical outlet in the whole house. My brother and his daughter were out from Seattle area and going through absolute withdrawal. I said, "Hey, you guys like NatGeo? The History Channel?, American Pickers?" "Oh yea, that's cool, we like that." "Well in the front room there's a ton of National Geographic magazines from the 60's to the 80's, Yankee magazines, Life magazines there's even Boy's Life and Ranger Rick from when we were kids, as well as old books (is there anything better than the smell of a musty old book), history books, old historic novels on the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, paperback novels, romance novels for the beach crowd. There's closets full of old stuff to pull out and look at and try on or tey and figure out what something is." I didn't miss TV or my computer one bit. Couldn't contain myself when I got back to the world, but for 10 days I was E-less except for the daily update to the family to let them know I hadn't hurt myself in any way and my blood pressure had even dropped to acceptable levels (but I also attribute that to my daily swim in the soothing, healing waters of Bass River). Yea, long winded way of agreeing, "What the heck's up with TV these days?"

There's actually some great TV being made if you look for it instead of that other Dreck....

The walking dead
The bridge
Sons of anarchy
Justified
Hell on wheels
The strain
The Americans

All great shows with intelligent writing behind them.

Anybody that made the Breaking Bad journey enjoyed probably one of the best written TV shows ever.

Anything that tries to base itself in "reality" is pure crap

I just shake my head at all the crap on TV and wonder how in the hell can there possibly be a market for some of this mindless dribble. Maybe I'm old school, but I'd sit and watch One Flew Over The Cucko's Nest until I knew (not that I don't already) every line by heart, than tune into some of these shows.

Honestly I'd rather watch that over the other so called reality shows like the Carsmashians.
