Only have basic fiber tv and there's still crapola on Saturday nites until the fall.

Ben Carson is on America This Week. I know, I know who the host is. Just watching to remind me of how annoying and revolting Carson is. Gotta go get a barf bag. 🤤

have on demand, or just stick it on something and do something else. I generally watch something, just for the heck of it, while playing my mandola or guitar.

Is a mandola different than a mandolin?

about Valerie Harper and we were remembering how great the Sat night line up used to be in the mid 70s and we actually wanted to watch TV.

No, not familiar with that. Will check. it out. Public TV offers British shows which I enjoy. There's a subscription called Brit Box, but haven't done that yet. Trying to straighten out aspects of my current life.

Thx for the FYI.

They run a lot of commercials and there isn't much original content, but they have The Young Turks, a lot of standup comedy, and I've watched several documentaries there.

Anything and everything is on it. Is how 2-3 blank days out of the week are spent. I've learned more history, biography, chat than I ever did in 5 yrs of university, and 70+ years of life.

It wasn't charitable of me the thoughts directed at comatose carson. [Sadistic streak?] I dint realize he still was trying to function in the government. I do not subject myself such as this on a regular basis. There's that.

I can usually find something on their Prime video to watch.

I also have a Roku and will stream free youtube videos--especially music and occasionally some of the free movie/tv content from Pluto or the other free apps associated.

Most of the paid apps (HBO, Netflix, STARZ, ShowTime and the British content purveyors) offer 7 day free trials. I've done several of those because they actually DO make it easy to cancel as long as you put a reminder sticky or something up to do so on day 6 or so. (you still get the 7th day).
