Wasn’t there an ’80’s song about 97 channels and nothing on? Seemed simpler back when we had 3 major networks and every Friday the stars would compete against each other in an obstacle course um hmm maybe that wasn’t better after all. . NEVER MIND!

The time on my cable box is about 45 seconds off. I always set the DVR for 2 minutes over to get the end of shows and preview of next episode.

Pink Floyd had “I’ve got 13 channels of s*** on the TV to choose from”. That was in the 70’s. Now we’ve got 13,000 channels of s*** to choose from.
