So screwed

Dave and I moved in together in 1997.
In the past 9 years, we have never had cable TV.
I never missed it really. We usually would have just watched the regular primetime shows in the evenings anyway.
The only time it really sucked was on the weekends.
If you don't have cable, you'd know that there is NOTHING on on the weekends.

Dave came up with the bright idea to get cable on a whim on Thursday.
It was a toss up between Direct TV or cable.
Cable was cheaper.

They came out on Saturday to hook it up.
OK, I don't know what 80% of these channels are, but what I DO know is that I am so screwed!
I took pride in the fact that I could DO things on the weekend and during the day. I NEVER have the TV on really until the kids go to bed.
I'm all for a little brain rot here and there, but I never REALIZED how much stuff there is to really watch!
I just got done watching Real Housewives of OC, or something like that.
I'm hooked. ONE show.
Then I watched a STUPID 'date my mom' show.
I wasted 1 1/2 hrs in a zombie like zone.

And it's not only me!
Try having a child who knows that PBS turns off at 9:00am and then doesn't come back on until 3:30. There is NO argument about turning the TV off because there is NOTHING to watch!
NOT anymore my friends.
I'm going to have to set major rules up.

Can you believe I have never in my life seen Soprano's, Sex in the City, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the list goes on and on!
Does MTV even play music anymore?
Do you know you can SHOP ON TV?
Damn. They need the GROCERY store channel!!

What do I need to know? What's good, what's bad?

We got to pick one premium group: movies, family, sports
Of course movies won.
We have SOOOO many movies we can pick ON DEMAND!
No more video runs, that's for sure.
And PORN. I can't believe it! I want to turn that feature off! That's all I need is for Logan to be pushing buttons and coming across THAT.

Anyway, if I'm not around it's because I'm off rotting my brain. I've got 9 years to catch up to do!

But really, if I'm not around much it's because I've got lots of 'work' to do before the site gets up and running.

LOL at this post.

Honey, don't feel bad though; I've never seen an episode of Soprano's, Sex in the City, or even LOST or American Idol... and I have always had cable. ;)

(I just never turn on the tv).

I can not believe you guys did not have cable. That is awesome! I love tv even though I rarely watch it but when I want to I love having on Demand! My big tv night is Sunday I watch DH and greys anatomy and then Monday I click on demand and watch big love and sex and the city. Thats all though.
