Well, you do have two more years than me here.... and I took a much needed hiatus from the BDF for a year or so.... it can get to be too much for sanity in there sometimes.

i have never been a tv watcher, not even when i was young. tv watching can easily, quickly deceive anyone, anytime & anywhere. discern what you are watching & make the proper choice.

That's like icing on the cake!

I don't have enough patience for ads.
Do you have a favorite TV show?
Mine was The Rifleman and the Equalizer. It's hard to make up my mind.

My best friend had this Jaguar in my favorite color. It was immaculate condition. He decided to give it to someone else for putting a roof on his shed. I would have given him enough to build a bigger shed, a roof for the old one with plenty of money left over.

I remember you speaking about the equalizer with someone else a while back... and of course, shows like the rifleman were quite popular in my youth... such a huge change has been seen since then with what is made available to young kids these days, with little or no adult supervision or oversight in some cases. A favourite TV show would be difficult to identify... and I have many favourite movies...

If I had children, we'd have no cable TV . The internet is too dangerous for children too IMHO.

I'm glad we have some of the good shows available to enjoy from when they were aired. I'll bet your subscription has a classic TV channel or two.
