Binge Watching
I don't know about you, but I may never watch regular TV again even when the new seasons come on. Netflix, Amazon Prime, and all the other streaming services have content that is so much better than what the standard channels have to offer (except Bravo, History, etc.)
On regular TV your choices are dictated by what the studios think you want to watch. On streaming services, you decide what you want to watch. I may never see a TV commercial ever again.
Those of you who are addicted to your favorite TV shows better record them. That's because the Candidates have hundreds of millions of dollars to bombard you with commercials that I'm sure will make you sick (unless it's for the candidate you already know who you're voting for).
All the major streaming services have movies, documentaries and series from Countries around the world. The Countries that don't have English as their spoken language are dubbed in English and they do a very good job. The thing I like the most is that you get to see a lot of the Country they were produced in and their attitudes regarding sex, race, drugs, LGBTQ and politics.
Binge Watching may either be the death of regular TV or at least force them to get their content to compete. Even if they do make better programming, are you still willing to watch twenty minutes (that's right twenty minutes) of bad commercials (if I see another Charmin commercial that has a cartoon baby bear wiping his ass I'm going to scream)? OK if you tape the commercials you can fast forward, but still, isn't that a pain in the ass?
In my opinion the best way to get through COVID is to sit across your big screen smart TV at night with a scotch in one hand and a dope in the other while:
