Muckraker Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 ... has anyone else more or less stopped watching TV? I've never been one of those people who watch a lot of TV, but I've reached the point where I don't watch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Mostly sports only for me along with news. Otherwise the only other TV shows I watch is Andy Griffith reruns or whatever I get from library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never cared much for drama shows, or most comedies...like a good movie once in a while, but how long has it been since Hollywood cranked out one of those?

I've got a couple movies I want to see but my library usually gets new releases within 60 days so I sometimes just wait for that. To me regular tv seems like it's all just contest or dating shows....none of which actually interest my brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Watch a lot of TV...especially the classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muckraker Posted December 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 YouTube and college basketball are about all I watch, now. It's incredible how much good stuff there is on YouTube. There is a lot of junk on You Tube, but at least you can pick and choose what you want to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Nope. I barely even watch sports anymore. Found I enjoy the streaming radio just as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Only watch a few shows that we DVR, like Last Man Standing, NCIS New Orleans. NEVER watch the news, as I think it's all biased in a major way. Watch a fair amount of financial news, but tune out the politics of it. Wife is into Hallmark Channel. And of course IU Hoops! Go Hoosiers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Stream Netflix or watching a live sporting event on TV that's it. I also coach football and basketball, so I only have about 11 weeks out of the year where I'm not doing one of those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Zero Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 My family (myself, wife, 13 year old son) hardly watch any television at all. The boy likes his YouTube, of course. But I have essentially no interest in the shows du jour (most television is ephemeral trash, honestly, even the “critically acclaimed” stuff ... I mean, seriously, when was the last time you heard anyone discussing “thirtysomething”?), and, as I won’t pay to watch advertisements (i.e., cable), I even miss being able to watch my beloved hardwood and gridiron Hoosiers. Hence my username. But I’m really quite content having turned off the telescreen (for the most part - I DO watch IU games when they’re on broadcast).

ATX_sig Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I watch a lot of TV. Right now I am really liking Stranger Things on Netflix and Reprisal on Hulu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 About to fire the ole BTN+ up for some IU baseball. March, April, and May every year. $30.. and I get to watch about 32 games that I wouldnt normally get to watch. (Obviously I attend a lot of them, so that number isnt quite 32).. I probably attend 9 games... so 23 games.. cost me $1.30 to watch each game..I'm good with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big time facilities, big time coach, and some big time players. The next step is becoming the Oregon St of the Midwest. ...but yes a program definitely on the rise, I agree.

At one time while living at McNutt. After classes I would cross the street. To take in a game. Could never get any one to join in with me. The facility was a joke. We had better Little League facilities in Gary. The team... sorry to say was a joke. Bathrooms were out door portable facilities. And yet, I went to game after game. Call me crazy. IU crazy. Not only the team. But the facilities make me proud of our IU baseball program today. We've come a long way, baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the quality of discussion I’ve seen on the basketball and football boards. There’s back and forth, and civil disagreement and debate. Rather amazing!
