I'm using closed captioning more and more because of that. One tv has it one all the time. I'd have it on the living room tv if the family would let me. Of the hundred channels, we watch less than half a dozen. Tonight, nothing is on. Last night, nothing was on. A growing trend.
“I’m using closed captioning more and more because of that.”
Me, too. But that pulls you out of the story into the real world. Sort of ruins the magic.
Also, what’s with those ads (for other shows on the same channel) that pop up on the bottom. They take up 1/4 of the screen and move! Sometimes the ads pop up right at the height of action and actually startle me. Just dumb.
