Only thing I could find...

Many brands and organizations have quickly responded to the COVID-19 pandemic with relevant creatives and new sales, deals and calls to action. We will continue to refresh and add creatives to this page throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yup. Haven’t watched so much Hogan’s Heroes and Magnum, P.I. since I was a kid.
And the first instance of a Trump-basing ad that channel comes off of the playlist.
I was actually looking forward to seeing “World On Fire” about WWII, but I already see the gay subplot developing in it, so I’m out.
:-) A FAVORITE here! The old Ms. Marple movies are excellent as well; if they could only be found.
“The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously — after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)”
― Robert A. Heinlein, To Sail Beyond the Sunset
(Hat tip to Thunder 6 for the find)
“It is amazing how fast all of the advertisers created “touchy-feely” commercials about how we are all in the together, corona strong blah blah blah.”
No kidding. Makes me want to puke. I try to keep up with what’s going on but I don’t want to be inundated with it all damn day. When I want to watch a I tv show I want to get away from the news. Now I’m being reminded of it in every commercial.
Im still waiting to see the Budweiser Clydesdale in n 95 masks
The LOGO channel. Two minutes of show, five minutes of commercials. Then two minutes of show, five minutes or commercials.
The should drop the pretense and just show commercials 24/7.
I’ve been watching the Andy Griffith Show lately. I guess they know their demographics. Pills, shower re-dos, and cell phones with only a number pad on them for Gramps.
You saw that too? My wife and I turned it off. The show about the Windermere Kids that came on afterwards was OK. Never heard about that.
Only thing I could find...
Lately, they have been the later ones with Goober in them. Not as good as the earlier ones.
Nothing has changed for me.
We still don’t watch TV.
We stopped watching Fake news in 2016 and cut the cable during that summer.
We have prime and CBS all access to watch the NCIS shows, the NCISLA is coming close to being not watched.
Prime has been running the old James Bond movies for free when you tell Alexa to play the free James Bond movies. Each movie takes about 2.5 hours. We are ready for bedtime when each movie finishes with Bond killing off the bad guys.
We watch a lot of Brit series on the $5/month Brit channels. The older shows/series have basically zero PC crud.
ROKU users here. Have found some poorly made movies and some re-visited good ones first seen years ago. IE: “The Deadly Mantis” with Craig Stevens.
One app gives us the episodes of “Midsummer Murders”, which is a well made British series. Many old TV shows are being re-watched. “Peter Gunn”, being one of many.
Probably saving a fortune on Blood pressure meds.
We’ve taken to DVR most everything, even live programs, so we can skip the commercials. We just give the live programs a head start of 30 minutes or so.
We do feel better and are saving about $200/month with Comcast business for their very reliable internet in this area and an alternate email.
That internet allows us to stream just about anything for free or $5/month.
If you get One America News I recommend them over FNC.
