Well, don’t blame me and hubby we watch plenty of TV, almost all of it recorded on our DVR. If left to my own devices I watch either Food Network or Game Show Network. For some reason I still love the $25000 pyramid.

My heart bleeds. When will the networks realize they are not providing a service no one wants to watch? Don’t answer the obvious.

I'm not heartbroken, but I am gobsmacked. I mean, who knew?

Good. Television has become an open sewer and hopefully it’s revenues will continue to decline. There is no greater propaganda tool for the left than the existing “News” and Entertainment industries.

Good news. The networks spew out government propaganda on the news networks, sports, comedy shows, dramatic series etc.

I mute the TV when the ads come on. The stations have timed it so that their ads come on at the same time. So I can’t flip back and forth between stations.

No surprise. Most of what’s on TV is crap, propaganda, and propaganda crap.

There’s about four hours total on all TV channels I find entertaining: Gold Rush, Bering Sea Gold, Justified, Portlandia, and Walking Dead. Was about to give up on Better Call Saul when the last episode actually got watchable.

Everything else I watch I’m streaming. I hope to see the day when the cable and satellite companies are forced to unbundle, because then we get to watch MSNBC, CNN and a whole bunch of other worthless propaganda channels die on the vine.

There is nothing to watch but Gay exhibitionism and redneck reality crap. The news is depressing and mendacious, History channel no longer shows anything about history, and the Weather Channel is all about Global Warming.

the more ‘fabulous’ they make tv... the more people they will drive away

it’s very simple. America doesn’t like homos or the homo lifestyle.

I cut the cable cord over three years ago. I watch a show or two on Hulu for free, and I still buy and watch DVDs.

One of the most freeing things I ever did!

Well, times are changing... I like to record shows, edit out the commercials, then binge watch series. No wonder they are losing money - heh. Make that a nation wide practice and you’ve got major network problems...

Oh well, TV has become so bad with content and at least 1/3 of a show dedicated to commercials that it eventually drives away viewers to other venues - then they complain about viewership? Reality is finally catching up because of the millions that they pay for each show. They will have to lower prices per show, rethink content, and limit advertisers if they even want to continue as a viable on air business.

It does sadden me though that all of the money I’ve invested in DVR equipment and utility programs will be useless in a few short years! Oh well...

Too many commercials — they actually increased the number a couple of years ago. A typical 1-hour program went from 42 minutes of content to about 39 minutes.

Also, repetition, especially on the cable channels. The movie, Independence Day, for example, has been showing up on various cable channels weekly for several years. The same with the Bourne movies. The same with the Harry Potter movies. etc.

Then, they are so quick to pull some series that it is difficult to invest time in new series. Chuck, Supernatural, Castle are just a few series that nearly got dropped in their first season, but held on. Supernatural is heading for Season 10.

Then, there are the programs filled with lefist political and social propaganda.

Cable and satellite days are numbered. Bundling 90 worthless stations with the five or six you might occasionally want to watch, is soon to be a thing of the past due to the streaming revolution. With bundling goes the perps at TW etc. who have forced it on us.
