  • Hmmm. Favourite show only on 2 times a year (Season), 2nd is replay of the same episode . Lots of unstoppable ads. No other way to watch it later. This went on for a couple decades.

    Less TV’s and no one had a device. The battles for who got TV time were epic between my brothers and I.

    Then VCR’s showed up. Recording show with commercials was the only way. You could fast forward but annoying.

    Then Netflix and other streaming services would have no commercials and you could watch anytime. Golden age.

    Now ads are back even if you pay. Guess we are back to cable era again. Regression sucks.










  • I am almost 70 and I some of the time these days I wonder is this English evolving or is it just someone who can’t spell etc. It makes my brain hurt. To make it worse for me my mother was a British war bride who would only let me speak “The Queen’s English” and made me watch Jeopardy every lunch for about 8 yrs. Sound great? Nope, my mother never taught me the rules. Even though I sounded very smart and had a great command of the English language I could never correct anyone because they would say why and I could not cite the rules.
