It is amazing how fast all of the advertisers created “touchy-feely” commercials about how we are all in the together, corona strong blah blah blah.
Sarah McLachlin must be in high demand.
Still no shows worth watching though,
only things we predictably watch are various NCIS sub-types
Nutrasystem doesn’t even talk about weight loss anymore, just that they can “deliver a months worth of food to your door.”
Without their shows and stand-ups, and movies and athletic competitions, the shutdown has revealed how truly useless celebrities are to the national scene.
Old Charlie Chan and Thin Man movies.
Basically my viewing habits have not changed. TCM and Vision TV (the granny network up here, lol). And, of course, no news channels as watching their trash is still certainly not a healthy habit.
Here we watch little nation-wide broadcast other than FNC. Local channels have fewer restaurant ads, car commercials. Some stations have begun to air their history and how they came into being. Many SPAs being shown. And the phrase “we’re all in this together” has contributed to that last nerve being lost.
Television industry must be bled dry of funds considering the few ads seen. Herb Tarlek (WKRP) certainly would have a hard road to plow if selling TV air time.
The entire turn to the speed of change in what we now see is similar to the speed of change when BO was first elected: every ad had a black character (BO duplicate) and a mixed race family, each member of a questionable gender.
Someone uploaded the 1959 to 1961 “The Rebel” TV series on YouTube and I’ve watched a few of those. Very well done show for it’s time.
The LOGO channel. Two minutes of show, five minutes of commercials. Then two minutes of show, five minutes or commercials.
The should drop the pretense and just show commercials 24/7.
Nothing has changed for me.
We still don’t watch TV.
We stopped watching Fake news in 2016 and cut the cable during that summer.
We have prime and CBS all access to watch the NCIS shows, the NCISLA is coming close to being not watched.
Prime has been running the old James Bond movies for free when you tell Alexa to play the free James Bond movies. Each movie takes about 2.5 hours. We are ready for bedtime when each movie finishes with Bond killing off the bad guys.
We watch a lot of Brit series on the $5/month Brit channels. The older shows/series have basically zero PC crud.
Gumby. Trying to figure out where those blockheads came from and what their angle is.
TIVO.
Record what you want, fast forward around the ads and media propaganda.
I mute my tv or change the channel when ads come on. I refuse to be insulted by them.
For those shows I record and then have to watch the commercials anyway, I just delete the program and move on.
