My Dad usually worked 6 days a week. Sunday afternoon was lying on the couch, half-asleep while watching football. He’d be alert if the Baltimore Colts were playing, but watching football was one of the few ways he could relax on his day off. We typically lived in places that had 2 channels, sometimes a third if you could adjust the antenna just right.
Nowadays, I can’t understand why anyone watches pro football. Fully understand watching high school games live, or maybe college games.
And young people are tough to get out of a house, let alone onto a playing field! I suspect the reason for the drop in teen pregnancies is based on how few teens spend time together any more versus texting. When I’m hiking, or jogging, or riding horses, I mostly see old folks like me hiking, jogging, or riding horses! I sometimes wonder if those below 30 know they have legs, or what legs used to be used for...
What will really be interesting is if advertisers start asking not just, “Is the TV/Cable/Whatever on?” but, “Is anyone paying ATTENTION while my ads are being played?”
