I've posted how I love my TV, which is why we have 6 in this house. The other day we were without it for over 24 hours as there was a problem with our satellite dish. One day is certainly not a problem. There's this thing called a dvd player and of course the wii to keep the screen glowing brightly for us throughout the day. And many other things of course like board games and books but you know what comes first and easiet always. My biggest problem was the new shows that would be on that night that I would not be able to see.
Earleir in the day as I played around with all the tv's to try to fix the problem or assess how bad it really was I found the kids tv's were getting channel 2. At least until I reset them and then they got nothing. Once I realized that was happening I made sure to leave Roberts alone. Channel 2 was better than nothing I reasoned. I realized later the CSI was on ch 2 and I'd at least be able to watch that in Roberts room at 9pm and not have to miss it. By 9pm though ch 2 was out on his tv also. I was not a happy camper.
CSI and Bones are two of my favorite shows. I used to have Cold Case and Without a Trace but they were cancelled. being they are all of the same sort of genre I'm obsessing over the ones I have left more and more. Of course they are both on Thursdays. The day of course I was without tv. Lucky me.
That is until I remembered how many tv shows are available to watch on the computer now. I am so not a fan of watching tv this way but when push came to shove, guess who was gladly watching her 2 missed shows from Thursday night on her computer Saturday morning? Sure sitting here at my desk watching a 45 minute show is not as nice and comfy as doing it settled into my well worn couch. And of course there's no fast forwarding through those coputer commercials! Beggars can't be choosers though. I got in my CSI and Bones and was very happy both channels post the full episodes on their websites.
I do not regularly go to tv channels websites. They're tv channels. To be watched on tv. What do I care about their website? Same goes with Newsday. It's a newspaper. I want to read and feel the actual paper and see the printed word in front of my face. I don't give a crap about your website when I've got your paper in my hand. There is a great ad I've seen in a few magazines recently stating some of the same of what I said. Take your time sit back and enjoy the printed word, it's not going anywhere. The battery won't die, the internet connection won't fail, just turn the page and continue. It's an awesome ad.
Yes I will consistantly complain about technology. Especially when it's not working the way it's supposed to or, the way I want or think it should. Truth is, I was so very happy for the technology of having my tv on the computer. I'm very glad for that. I do not want my tv to go away though. Same with my newspaper, magazine or book for that matter. The internet is a wonderful thing. It allows me to spew anything I want and have all you lovely people read about it. But I don't want it taking away or replacing anything I hold dear. Too bad I have no control over that.
