I remember in my youth the many discussions us kids had about what a TV 'machine' would look like. We got a small black & white one in the mid-50's.

I don't watch TV anymore either. I even watch football games on the internet.

There is an episode of Star Trek where the Enterprise goes back in a time warp to the year 1968 and ends up beaming aboard a fighter pilot from that era.

He asks Mr. Spock what they have on television in the future, and Spock replies “that particular form of entertainment did not survive much beyond the start of the 21st. Century.

We all used to sit around and watch TV as a family. There were only three stations, and we had to horse trade with one another to decide what we would watch. Then, in 1967, we got a COLOR TV. Talking about living large. Cable killed the family communal TV experience.

I’m one of the no TV people. There are just so many better things to do with my time. If I want or need some sort of video entertainment I have Netflix.

The internet/streaming is the future, and television broadcasters need to get that through their thick skulls.

Personally, we still watch television, but there is getting less and less that’s appealing to watch. So much of it is pushing leftist agendas and themes. As we know at FR, that the news outlet is the most fraught with liberal dogma.

I have almost all the episodes. Would you know which one that is? Roddenberry’s a genius.

People are SICK of all the BAD NEWS brought on by 7 years of a Marxist Muslim gay illegal alien president.

Also, people are SICK of males being portrayed as WEAK and having female penises shoved down their throats in just about EVERY show on TV.

I think installing a TV in every bedroom did more damage. Kind of promotes isolation.

But will they change? Will they create programs that don’t relentlessly mock America, traditional values and Christianity? Will they offer more than token wholesome shows? Will they stop infesting their shows with extreme Liberal propaganda? No. So the decline will continue.

You do realize that netflix is owned and operated by libs who are ardent obama worshippers. I know as i deal with these clowns every week.

Most of the shows I produce are on specialty cable so we know our demos very well and losses are manageable.

Watched about 5 minutes of NCIS New Orleans last night. The theme of the program was something about rightt wing militia groups blah, blah, blah. Clicked it off. NCIS was decent, otherwise those shows are the only TV I’ve watched in 3-4, months.

TV has become a liberal propaganda tool on EVERY stinking show.
