Everybody is griping, My Parents are griping. My Gripe is that the channels that have the potential to hold more actually hold back.
For instance, the only time I hardly ever watch USA Network is for WWE, Monk, or Psych. Other than that they limit themselves to First Run Movies, or
"slightly" older episodes of current tv shows like House, and the tag team of L & O spinoffs. There was a time when USA aired cartoons in the morning,
game shows in the afternoon, movies at night. It seemed simple when they're weren't as many channels as they are now. Unfortunately, that plays
a role with everything else. I wonder sometimes if more is good. I wonder if we really need 70 ESPN channels to get our sports with.
As for classic TV, there are DVD BOX SETS of TV shows. They are a nice alternative to cable tv. It's just trying to find the right store or online dealership
for the DVD set you want can be a hassle sometimes. But if there was a DVD set of the first season of Father Knows Best that just
came out, I'm sure that by the end of the next decade, nearly 80% of all tv shows of the last 60 years will be made available to DVD at some time.
My Parents have already bought their share of DVD sets of the shows they want to see (Gunsmoke, Rawhide, The Rockford Files, Kojak, The Equalizer, etc.).
So, if we live in the era of choice, you have a choice. I made mine, No TV Land ;D
