I watch very little network programming. I’m not interested in sports. Don’t even watch the Olympics anymore. SEAL Team is my favorite TV series. I’m watching The Curse of Oak Island at the moment. I record every program I watch on my DVR so I don’t have to watch the commercials, and can fast-thru a program if a scene shows up with homos swapping spits. I don’t even care to watch heterosexual folks making out anymore, so I usually mute them, and fast forward through them. Don’t want my neighbors in the building thinking I’m having an orgasm at my age. I have Netflix and Amazon Prime which I usually watch on the weekends. Got Disney+ and Apple TV free for a year, although I’ve hardly watched anything on them. I download a lot of programs from a couple of British torrent sites. Been doing it for years. I enjoy British mysteries, and their historical documentaries. I also enjoy various foreign dramas and mysteries. Don’t mind having to read the English subs as I watch everything on TV with closed captioned subs anyway. I do a lot of reading, and most times, while I’m watching something on my DVR, I’m also working on my family tree on Ancestry.com.

I stopped watching television programming completely around 1998 or so. The last things I recall watching on any kind of routine were Home Improvement and ER.

Stopped watching television news and reading newspapers before that.

For me, the bottom line is that I feel like I am watching what THEY want me to watch (which is true) and given who THEY are, I don’t see that as a good thing.

I do watch a lot of movies I rent or own, and a lot of YouTube material but I can’t be in a room with a television on watching their program. I have to leave, I find it so off-putting.

I have a degree of contempt for anyone who gets their news from television or newspapers these days.
