There's a rule that 90% of everything is crap, but there's so much stuff on TV now, that the 10% actually adds up to enough worth watching. The movies seem to be mired in formula reruns and building their "franchise", which adds up to dreck. TV, hard as it is for me to admit it, has some very watchable shows. I think our next ones are going to be The Borgias, and Boardwalk Empire.Keith Cartmellhttp://keithsodyssey.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-7152615736454597292011-12-17T20:57:40.974-07:002011-12-17T20:57:40.974-07:00We have way too many visual entertainment options....We have way too many visual entertainment options. We have expanded basic cable - and you are right, it costs a mint and we watch 3 channels about 90% of the time (Nick, Disney and Cartoon Network) with maybe another 6 or so filling out the other 10% (including our local affiliates that don't come in clear without cable). We also watch Netflix streaming to our computer (although I'm having issues with my wifi right now and we used to also watch through our Wii or on the laptop). And we still subscribe (with now an extra charge) to the DVD service because the streaming service has a SUCKY selection (although tons of the TV series which I think you would dig). I also occassionally watch missed episodes of of shows (Glee and Biggest Loser lately) on the NBC or Fox web sites. And of course, we have a decent size VHS and DVD collection (mostly kids' movies, but ones I enjoy). Needless to say, we need to spend less time in front of a screen, but we don't seem to be whittling it down at all.TriMOEngrhttp://climbingthosehills.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
