    I have a dim view of modern media. To put it simply, I grew up with TV but it didn’t grow up with me.

    Maybe the next time they buy a TV they’ll splurge and get one with an “off” switch.

    They’re banking on this to be an all time hit.

    Things have changed for me. I no longer watch a stand-alone television set. Instead, the program is on the left computer monitor while I use the right one for another purpose; I rarely give a program my full attention. Also, I now stream the programs so that I can semi-watch them on my schedule.

    In my case, I’ve just stopped watching over the years, and don’t even have a TV. I’ll sometimes watch some video if it’s brought to my attention, but a whole show, never.

    “People will watch anything” is not new. TV has been a “vast wasteland” since I was in High School. …but really, Sturgeon’s Law applies and with the multiplicity of sources, it’s just harder to find the good stuff now (and it’s probably not on broadcast tv)

    I stream old TV shows like Night Court lately. Never saw the first two years. Then British mysteries which are more interesting than American procedurals which are the same week after week.

    Got out of the habit of watching TV while I was in the Navy. That was 48 years ago. Nor have I ever clicked on a ad on my computer.

    “If we make it, they will watch it”, to a lot of us doesn’t apply anymore. Too many choices out there….

    The shows are on so hit and miss anymore it is hard to follow a plot line. They take “winter break” and get replaced for a couple to several weeks by something else or show reruns for a couple weeks. It make it tough.

    My 91-year-old mother and I spent a lot of yesterday watching old Carol Burnett shows and laughing ourselves silly.

    Not all people. I haven’t watched network television for over 20 years.

    Long delays (measured in YEARS) between successive seasons seems to have caught on with many a series I’ve watched over the years (Sopranos, Homeland, Outlander). But for some really great writing/acting, get hold of the 176 episodes of House, M.D. and watch from S1E1. You’ll either like it or you won’t, but if you do, you’ll be hooked for life. Series ran between 2004 and 2012, and there probably won’t be a reboot or a prequel. It’s best this way. (Snippets are available in random order on YouTube from Peacock.)

    We almost never did until we started Antiques Roadshow UK (far better than the American counterpart). Now we stream it, and it is the only one we watch.

    I’ll bet they also have to turn on the captions too.
