When I was a kid there were only three channels, four if you count PBS. There was CBS, NBC, and ABC. We didn't get CBS so we only had two channels, three if you count PBS. At midnight, after playing the Star Spangled Banner, the networks went off the air and didn't return until morning. There was nothing to watch so you went to bed. You watched your t. v. shows when they were scheduled and if you missed an episode you had to hope that one would appear in the reruns. Then came cable and we had more choices, but still you had to watch when they wanted you to. Now we have DVR, DVDs, Hulu, Netflix, You Tube, On Demand and we hold the power to watch when we want. All I can think is, there isn't enough time. We can watch whole seasons of past shows and binge whole seasons of new shows. Add to that movies and specials and there are the best of and worst of list and cat videos and your friends with their own You Tube channel. Let me take a breathe. I am not going to criticize anyone for watching so much since I do it myself. I want to take time to, as the saying goes, smell the roses. Thank God iPads are portable.
