I can't argue with that. I do enjoy some of the b movies and older movies you don't see very often, but I take a pass on a lot of it's offerings.
I fell into the pitfall of watching lots of TV, and network news. I am a changed person. I only watch news, selected programs, and now have a life. My teenage kids have got lots to keep them busy with one, college life, and the other one has band competitions.
LOL, we live in the middle of the Media district in Burbank, Ca. Walking distance from NBC 4, Warner Bros, ABC. Many other outlets are close driving distances. I love the location I live in, my husband works for a major studio here. I just have removed myself from absorbing what they market.
My life is now more fulfilling.
I've always liked your screen name.
I've owned a working TV for maybe one or two years total in the last 35 years. It's just never been a part of my life - and since I grew up in the 50s, it wasn't part of my childhood much either.
Not that I didn't have other unsavory influences!
There's so much else to do in life besides sit and absorb TV radiation and content. Never enough time, actually!
I grew up in the 50's amd 60's too. TV has been expanding over the past decades. It is ashame. There is so much more to life.
