Both Computer Geek and Weston made comments the other day that led me to believe they may watch too much TV.
Computer Geek has been suffering from a nasty cold this past week and before he went to bed that night he said, "Nyquil is so good, it can make me forget about politics."
Earlier that night we had gone to the grocery store. Weston had his eye on the bag of Lay's BBQ chips and asked me if he could open them. I told him no, but to plead his case he said, "But I can't wait until tomorrow to open these. They're like goodness in a bag."
Maybe CG has a future as a copywriter for TV ads?
Commercials are the reason I have a DVR. Unless the commercial is for a new movie or tv show I may want to watch, I generally just skip right thru them. Esp. if its got that Flo lady or some Lizard trying to sell me insurance...

Adam: I wish we had the ability to skip through ours. There's an anti-smoking commercial that comes on our local station every night during the dinner hour that features a lovely shot of lung surgery. And I hate the commercials for those forensic TV shows that think they have to show gore. Ugh.

ReplyDeleteI have DirecTV & this DVR is great (except when it screws up & accidentally deletes something I was going to watch). Most places offer something like that, & my brother was telling me he bought a Western Digital media hard drive which you don't even need a subscription for. Tim might know how to hook something like that up for you guys...
Some of those forensic shows do it tastefully, but other times it is just too realistic. If it is for a plot exposition or to explain a detail I can understand why, but if its not necessary to the story just do a "cut away" take or something like that (you just see them point down at the body, but you don't see the body &c).
God Bless,

I enjoyed the comments and photos of your last post, but I felt too rough to find fitting words by way of comment. It's great to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteDo you have TV stations without the commercials?
Don't you love it, too much TV is what I say...my boys remember way too many commercials, me I have no clue.
ReplyDeleteThose jingles stick in the head, don't they?
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you and your family Randi :) Wishing you health, joy, love, laughter and prosperity in 2011!
