    Say what you will about the age of streaming, but I’m glad I can choose what I want to watch nowadays instead of the TV choosing for me.

    Yup, I rarely watch t.v. these days. 100 channels and nothing worth watching……..

    Can’t say I don’t disagree with dad’s answer to the 2nd panel’s questions. Gone are the days where we can tell our kids, “Go outside and have an adventure! I’ll call you in for lunch and dinner and bedtime!”. I miss those halcyon days.

    Too many screens to look at nowadays. Unfortunately, this old fart has kinda been sucked into it. Not social media, though. Thank God that my 14 year old daughter isn’t into that crap. I remember my friends’ mothers kicking us out to play together and we’d just do Star Trek stuff. I was alway Spock. Long live and prosper. LOL

    With the writers strike in full swing, its affected all the shows I like to watch… Its made me switch back to listening to AM radio…

    I love that TV console dancing in mid-air almost as much as I hate Calvin’s abusive dad!!

    Don’t look puzzled, lad. Have some sunshine instead of blank radiating screen.

    Can’t believe no one has said it yet: Being outside(wait for it)…builds character.

    I remember the television show Max Headroom was set in a future where televisions had no off switch.

    I have a TV in my home office. I might use it as much as two hours a day at night. Some evenings not at all.

    LMAO! I remember the days when my daughter posted a “notice” on the board…listing all rules and regulations of TV, X-Box, video games! One rule was to play outside and only spend a few hours a day on the other stuff. It worked out good! ☺️

    My dad called the TV the “square eyed squak box” and never watched it much, but I noticed he listened to it from the other room pretty intensely.

    For me, cable TV is and has always been a waste of money! When I had it, the only things I watched were the news, MSG for the Knicks, the Discovery channels and occasionally HBO. Tubitv and Crackle suits me just fine. Even YouTube. Lately I’ve been binge watching “He-Man”.

    When did kicking kids out of the house start being called child abandonment or endangerment? I remember those days and they allowed new worlds of play and fun to be created.

    Normally [if that word can ever be used to describe him] Cal would have enjoyed the extemporaneous launch and landing.

    My family got a TV in 1951. I was allowed unlimited TV even though my parents took a dim view of what I watched. As a grownup I prefer reading and listening to music. Any weirdness in my personality came from other sources.

    That’s the trouble with parents. Sometimes they can be pretty vague.

    Most of us remember a time when having a TV channel, especially one with network affiliation, was a guaranteed moneymaker.
