Amazon Prime is a great deal! “Free” movies, TV, music, etc. I’ve been having a lot of fun exploring new/different music via their Prime Music offerings lately.

As for books, even if you don’t have a Kindle, you can still get the Kindle app for pretty much any device. PC, smart phone, tablet, etc.

I'm sure there are many reasons for this, but for our household, we prefer not to shovel money at people who hate us. I hope more will join in and cut that cord!

There are multiple reasons for this, but ESPN / Disney's in your face leftist preaching is no doubt among them. This represents a loss of about 42 million dollars a month....500 mill a year. It also represents lower advertising rates marginally as well. And it's showing no signs of slowing.

No surprise things would eventually catch up with Disney.

My daughter installed Netflex for me against my protests. Mama was wrong on that one. I love my Netflix!

Bet investment ever. That and a Roku box. I've got all the content I want, when I want, without commercials.

When sports goes pay per view, the cable goes out the window. Besides not being interested in anything being offered, I resent paying out the nose for cable TV, then being subjected to 20+ minutes of advertising for a 60 minute show.

I couldn't agree more.

I am gross and perverted
I’m obsessed ‘n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I’m the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think I’m delicious
With the stuff that I say
I’m the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I’m the slime oozin’ out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That’s right, folks . . .
Don’t touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go

I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go

I wish. Dish TV would remove every ESPN channel from my service.Thats one thing I can’t stand is some blabber mouth talking about sports continuously.

What a miserable life you would have to live too watch that crap constantly.

I think the Disney channel gives a horrible message for young children - the kids on their shows are disrepectable, overly sexualised and care about fashion and looks more than anything else

Annette, do you realize what you started?

Look into Kodi. It has everything Netflix and roku has, plus more, with no cost.
