I was down to watching three channels, my wife just a couple. We cut the cable three years ago now. We can stream just about anything we really like. And we read many more books instead of clicking through 125 options just to settle on something we don't really care about or that doesn't provide any enjoyment but just kills time.
So cut the cable. As our President says: "What have you got to lose?"
Svengoolie. It's my Saturday night guilty pleasure :)
