Why do you think we who have Dish watch sports basketball & football, Nascar, car auctions, quilting, cooking, GMAC, old Hee Haw’s, Pickers, Pawn Stars on History, and the Gaither’s. hundreds of channels and 95% not fit to watch.

We watch the local news, then if no races/games on a OLD movie from Netfix, which was our Christmas present from hubby’s youngest this year. We have been laughing our butts off watching the old slap stick. Some of the kids movies are to bad either. Well worth the $8 a month version. Some are in the instant que, some they mail you. They are fast, we can order 2 movies a week. And they don’t penalize you if you don’t return the right away. They don’t send the next in line until they get the one you have back. Thus you can go on vacation, with out worrying about late fees.

I gave up extended Cable and now have basic. But, I love Sundays when after church and lunch I sit back and watch Halmark movies most of the day. I watch old movies, old comedies, some stuff on Discovery and History channels. But, the new stuff doesn’t excite me. If I watch a new comedy it is not 2 minutes and something about sex or homosexuality comes up. I watch TV or go to movies to be entertained - not to be bombarded by messages sent by hollywood or TV producers. It used to be that you had to buy and add channels that were off colored now you have to buy and add those that aren’t. Sign of the times I guess. I guess I come off like a goody two shoes but I am far from it, like everyone else. I just would like more wholesome family entertainment coming across a venue I PAY FOR!
