Several generations of people grew up watching a dozen TV shows and a few movies … generations before that just read books … and endless generations before that just talked to each other retelling stories to one another … I think we can exist by just watching less.
I’ve got several subscriptions on the go right now and the more I think about it, the more I realize, I don’t need all this junk and if there is something I really want to watch for some reason … I’ll go sail the high seas and get it myself.
In the 70s as a.kid I had exactly 4 channels to pick from (sometimes 5 if the weather was right ). One of those channels was PBS which always beat soaps and the news. Did us a lot of good. We have too much crap.
I was in rural northern Ontario … we had about the same … except that instead of PBS we had TVO, our provincial public broadcaster, and together with CBC, the two were basically our PBS … every morning was watching ‘The Friendly Giant’ before heading off to school
