Have you ever noticed that there isn’t anything good on tv anymore? Tv is not worth turning on. It doesn’t even pay to have cable anymore; even as everything is so damn high.

When I was young, there was only 4 networks on air; until the ’80’s when Fox television hit the airwaves. Most people had black and white; except for those who can afford to have color tv. Some have had antenna on the roof of the house; but most had rabbit ears on top of the tv. The rabbit ears had tin foils wrapped around to helped with the reception. There was no remote. You had to get up to change the channels. Usually, those sitting on the floor closest to the tv was the remote. Sometimes, the knob for the channel was broken; so you had to used a tweezer to change the channel, or leave it on at the channel all the time.

They had good wholesome tv shows back then; not like today. The whole family could sit down together to watch tv without being disgusted. It was family time. The living room became the family room.

Saturday night was a big family night in front of the tv for my family; since it was the only night my mother had off from work. We had the tv set on to ABC network for their lineup of T.G Hooker, Love Boat and Fantasy Island. My mother had a crush on William Shatner who played T.G. Hooker.

On Friday night, we would watch Incredible Hulk, Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas. On Sunday night, we would watch the Wonderful World of Disney back before they gone Woke and actually had good wholesome tv shows. I developed my first crush on Farrah Faucet because of watching her on Charley’s Angels. Later on, I developed a crushed on Linda Evans when she was on Dynasty. I soon discovered her on her first series, Big Valley; which also co-starred Lee Major from Six Million Dollars Man and the Fall Guy. He was also married to Farrah Faucet.

We even enjoyed watching the Brady Bunch, Partridge Family and Gillagan’s Island, even the reruns.

Some of the tv shows that were made back then couldn’t be made today. All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, and even Marriage with Children couldn’t be made today because of the controversy. People today would be too offended by those shows now days. They were wholesome tv shows!

Now days, the tv shows are so raunchy and unwholesome. They have more reality shows on tv such as The Bachelor, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and Real Housewives. I have not seen those shows and don’t care to. People on those shows are just cashing in on their 5 minutes of fame in hoping to remain famous.

They even remade some shows and simply destroyed it. Roseanne made a reboot and then when Roseanne made a comment, she was fired from her own show. They killed off her character and changed it to the Connors. They simply destroyed the show in the process.

Another reboot is the show, Wonder Years. The original version was way better than the remake. The original show was a family show; whereas the remake, Hollywood chose to make a statement instead of focusing on the true storyline.

Now that Fox News fired Tucker Carlson from his highest rating show, there is no real reason to watch Fox news anymore at his old time slot. Because of this, I’m looking at getting rid of my cable. It’s such a hassle to get rid of to save money.

With technology now so complicated, a person have to be an engineer or an IT person just to adjust your tv to get rid of cable. If you use the Firestick, you need a WIFI just to hook it up. It’s not set up for common everyday folks to be able to watch even local network.

Don’t they realize with this new technology with our tv, it makes it easier for the Government and even China to spy on us?

Watching tv is supposed to be a way to escape the cares of the world. Now it’s best to shut the boob tube off and read a good book; and not on Kindle either. To read an actual book.

With all this advance technology, nothing works like they’re supposed to. Nothing is made to last. They are made to buy instead. A person has more problems with equipment breaking down now more than ever. They fixed one thing and wreck something else in the process.

No wonder, there are people who hate John Deere and Ford? You can’t fixed things yourself, you have to take it in for repair or buy a new one when it breakdown. Not everyone is an engineer or an IT guy. Not everyone has a college degree. The older generation is being left behind because of technology.

If I was more technologically, I could maybe do a vlog along with my blog; but I’m not. I know enough but not enough to advance my blog.

I got an indoor antenna and is in the process of installing it so I can get rid of my cable to save some money. Wish me luck!!

Can’t find anything good on tv? Turn it off!! Sit down to read a good book instead!

This month was all about they don’t make things like they used to in a month long series. If you enjoyed this series, let me know.
