A Sad Day?


Not to date myself (too late) but there was a time when paying for cable meant I could watch my favorite programs without commercial interruption; that was one of the allures. BTW, I refuse to pay $200 (a month!) to watch all the premium channels on cable or Dish. The psychology is boggling; I buy a TV, then I have to pay to watch it?!? There's just something very wrong about that to me.

Now, things are so different, there are so many cable channels available, with commercials which I'm paying for now that I'm thinking about it. And as I sit here, I find myself in programming doldrums when there's nothing on that is as dramatic, compelling and intellectually stimulating as...
Sponge Bob Square Pants.

OMG, so this is what a brain feels like when it finally turns into mush.

Tell me about it. We have the smallest cable package we could get, that would still give us the news;$65.00 TV and internet.
