For context...My wife and I unhooked from the airwaves around 28 years ago. Back when it was OK for kids to get a hug from Micky. Our decision wasn't really driven by moral issues. We just had (and still do) so much real life going on there was no time for playtending.

All these years later, we do watch TV...even binge watch...when we're in motels. I've watched the programming devolve into inane "comedy" cued up for today's 10 second attention spans and plain old debauchery. What has become most clear over the past couple of years is the leftist propaganda at least 99% of the commercials push. Oh what a BEAUTIFUL ride it is when you're in an electric car!!! And never forget, you can absolutely kiss, fondle and (inferred) penetrate your same sex partner ON PRIME TIME TV...as long as you're promoting medications to fight aids, herpes and monkey pox! But be sure to pay attention to the death dealing side effects!!!

When wasting my hard earned down time in motels, I regularly turn the channel when the option is to puke a little in the over-soft bed I'm vegetating in...Thank goodness for remotes!!! Last trip, I just turned the dang thing off and took a walk on the beach!!!

CHOOSE LIFE!!!

Just the sitcoms alone are so bad. I hardly watch network tv and cable.

There's only ONE sitcom I watch on CBS/Paramount Plus called "Bob Hearts Abishola"--cute story line featuring Billy Gardell (from Mike & Molly) as "Bob" and a new found Nigerian actress as Abishola. This is Season 4 and I've been watching it from its inception. I stream video off the Internet via Tubi, Pluto and Ruko channels as well as Paramount Plus offers a streaming video program ($5.99/month for limited ads). I loathe the programming on cable TV and wouldn't pay the astronomical bill for the Xfinity cable service anyway.

I have watched one or two episodes with Mom. It is a cute show. Bob is so likeable. A rare thing.
