I just need to practice giving up on shows.Steven Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-33344811317237839092011-07-25T12:42:56.272-04:002011-07-25T12:42:56.272-04:00It's all about the Benjamins...It's all about the Benjamins...Douglas4517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-48835522143900304282011-07-25T09:48:22.052-04:002011-07-25T09:48:22.052-04:00Given Chuck's ratings, they need to get money ...Given Chuck's ratings, they need to get money to stay alive.

Speaking of that tablet, have you noticed how all the computers on TV (usually with "Dell" marked clearly on them) never have a troublesome connection?

You know, maybe a fabulous Mercedes with a rich leather interior, or an iPhone with an even faster and more reliable Verizon internet connection. Or I might even turn off the TV and pick up a copy of the New York Times (the "weekender" rate is a real bargain) , or else just step on over to the coolest, most amazing blog in the world (next to yours of course) sightingsat60.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Oops, am I being too obvious here?

Anyway, your post makes me feel better about having given up my TV connection. I'm now watching all the many VHS tapes I've collected over the last 20 years., some which were just from turning on the TV and recording 4 hours of whatever came on while I was away at work. It is truly mindblowing to see prime time then and now. It's a huge change that has occurred in a relatively short time. I'm starting to get over my withdrawal symptoms from the tube and starting to get in touch with me again and my immediate surroundings. I'm beginning to feel better and better about that. Your blog is very interesting. I'll be back for more. Keep up the good work!1951boomernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-90585188355617971852011-07-21T12:57:20.465-04:002011-07-21T12:57:20.465-04:00Yeah, this past season of chuck had at least two c...Yeah, this past season of chuck had at least two conversations like that...about a toyota minivan, I believe.<br /><br />Their product placement of the Lotus Evora was much better, just showing the cool spies driving a cool car with maybe a zoom or two on the Lotus badge.Steven Scottnoreply@blogger.com
