I agree with the weather channel ladies, usually I don't even know what they are saying lol, I just watch

 

Amazon Forum Fav 👍

A History of Mining on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska - Grab it through Amazon!

The problem is, they wouldn't advertise, if it didn't work. Just boggles the mind.

Don't get me started on the pills. When did it become ok to sell something that can help the original problem (never cure), and kill you 8 other way's. Well at least they mention it so when someone die's, there covered.

Folks, I cut the cable 3 years ago and still get about 45 OTA (over the air) channels. The older I get the less TV I watch. I used to be a big sports fan, but now if the game is on when the ground is not frozen, you will see me swinging the coil. I am thankful that the past few OSU games started at 8pm. When it comes to what I watch it is mainly on PBS (no it's not Sesame Street), my favorite show is the Antiques Road Show. We do have Netflix & Hulu plus, but I become paralyzed with the sheer amount of choices I have. I scroll through the selections for about an hour and end up falling asleep without watching anything.

Speaking of falling asleep...
I am actually sleep typing at this very moment.

Was thinking of filling the swimming pool with coffee...

The coffee I.V. drip is not working as good as I would like. :P

I never watch TV unless I'm eating or sitting on the couch.

 

[bigfoot1]

My girl would watch TV...
While swimming if she could.

Holy Cow, you mean someone actually watches commercials now days? I hardly ever watch TV in real time. I record everything and watch later. Don't like reality shows. I like the Western channel, Discovery, History, etc-----------------------plus the NCIS, Madam Sec, etc. The only sport I watch is BaseBall and CFB. My two favorite Teams are GA Tech and whoever plays Georgia.
10 minutes of detecting is better than 4 hrs of TV.

During the Superbowl.....good commercials! Well, better the usual.

Flo from progressive.....makes me want to try shock therapy.

Don't forget, you adjust the sound just right for the program, and BANG, the commercials come on so loud the neighbors across the pasture can hear it. Come dinner time we can hear about vaginal mesh, and lets not forget to hop in the bath tubs for our pills. Like you also mentioned, the commercials that repeat every 10 minutes. Geesh, they must think their TV watchers are idiots stuck away in sanitariums somewhere.

I have seen that Spanish music Toyota commercial at least 10 more times. Arrrrg.

Oh I friggin know... the sound blasts you off the couch on some of em.

Friggin wearing out my volume button on my remote control is all they are accomplishing for me. heh

Fact is... and sooner than later, our commercials will be different.

The pop-up ads on our computers that reflect our recent google searches are just the tip of the iceberg...
Say for instance, we are watching Diggers, or Oak Island, or whatever...the commercials will be different for each of us. AARC will get commercials for Treasure stories, I'll get commercials for NFL Shop, Red James will get conspiracy theory commercials... each of our interests will be catered to by advertisers, based on our Internet purchases and searches.

I wonder who would get the most commercials for immature and irrelevant comments?

 

[ARC]

Um that would be me as well :P

 

[wainzoid]

We need more Festus, Ernest T Bass, Hank Kimball, and Giligan.

While swimming if she could.

I believe that would be called a "suicide attempt".

Sheesh AARC, have you been ranting so bad about the TV that the misses wants to take it for a swim!?!?

I don't hardly watch TV either, but when i do - and perhaps you should try it - just watch 'Lonesome Dove' - over, and over, and over again.

It never disappoints, haha!

"when the moment is right" heh.

I can only think of a few moments that are not right ...

Anytime the kids are around...
At/during church...
Or while at courthouse... at least while in court.
And definitely while getting some form of surgery.

All else is open for brief discussion.

Ah com'on AARC, at our age, only the first two are off limits and I do like how you clarified the courthouse.

Comedy shows now days use so much "canned laughter" that it is overkill. Some jerk says: "I'm going outside" and then you hear a laughter track. Not funny and so insulting to our intelligence. I seldom watch TV unless it is about treasure or explorations. I leave the tv on for background noise in case of weather alerts. Most of the time I just spend on the forums reading posts from several years ago in which I see how mistreated some of our "Past and Current" posters were treated.

I'm genuinely curious, so please forgive...

Mistreated?
