I seem to remember a poster from the Sixties: “Kill your TV’’.
Philo Farnsworth, who invented the television, once told his son, Kent;
“There’s nothing on it worthwhile, and we’re not going to watch it in this household, and I don’t want it in your intellectual diet.”
I don't know what it is about as a show nor care.
Nice thought but the spelling and grammatical errors detract from it.
All “reality TV” is a scam.
I should point out that we own a television. We watch films, documentaries, and instructional vids on DVD.
I quit watching TV over 10 years ago.
FrogDad watched less and less until a year ago, when he realized he hadn’t turned it on in over 3 months, finally had the satellite disconnected.
We have been geocaching, reading, watching old series on DVD (mostly Sci-Fi), and older movies while doing jigsaw puzzles together.
We don’t miss TV.
“All “reality TV” is a scam.”
Toxic too.
P.S. I’d never heard of this Boo Boo person until your post.
My apologies.
Proof reader is my friend, but I told her to take the day off. Multi task was no help as well.
Most of my TV watching consists of USC Trojans football when I can’t attend games in person, Book TV, and Fox News.
My better half happened to be visiting some website a couple of months ago when a clip of Honey Boo Boo was played. I recently viewed an episode. As you can see, the show made an impression.
Clinton delivered a speech at the DNC? :^)
No broadcast or cable or dish TV here for almost 20 years now.
From Talking Heads, “Found A Job:”
“Damn that television, what a bad picture.”
“Don’t get upset, it’s not a major disaster.”
“There’s nothing on tonight,” he said, “I don’t know
what’s the matter.”
“Nothing’s ever on,” she said, “So I don’t know
why you bother.”
We’ve heard this little scene, we’ve heard it many times
People fighting over little things, and wasting precious time
They might be better off, I think, the way it seems to me
Making up their own shows, which might be better than t.v.
I turned off MY TV back in 2000 when Fox hired Geraldo and have never turned it back on. Don’t miss is a bit. People look at me like I’m from Mars when I tell them I haven’t watched TV in over a decade.
I wish we had turned our tv off 20 years ago.
Had to look it up. What a horrid looking woman the mother is!
