I'd much rather have a la carte too, though. So much crud on tv. And the family (including Sly) is constantly commenting that the commercials are far worse than the tv shows. You might be watching a family friendly tv show, only to be subjected to terribly inappropriate commercials. I must say though, seeing those commercials helps me decide where to NOT spend my money.JamBerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10100173458111104820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-37319775420291474602009-05-13T21:11:00.000-04:002009-05-13T21:11:00.000-04:00Jenn, it is too bad we can't have a la carte, but ...Jenn, it is too bad we can't have a la carte, but then the cable companies would make less money . . .<br /><br />Tiffrutherf, I am getting my news fix but getting what I can off the Internet and radio . . .walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-62740471061670293482009-05-13T20:46:00.000-04:002009-05-13T20:46:00.000-04:00Good for you!

I don't watch any TV programs anymore. <br /><br />It's ridiculous how much we pay for it! I wish a la carte were available. We have to pay for a whole higher 'tier' just to get all of our Braves games!Niffercoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05064721506550680304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-61276587379774645992009-05-13T12:11:00.000-04:002009-05-13T12:11:00.000-04:00Good for you!

We do christian cinema (like a Christian version of Netflix) and we like it. I must say I do miss the Food network but I do feel like TV is a guilty pleasure I can't afford lately...Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804685660416486940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-82883737652673340712009-05-13T09:33:00.000-04:002009-05-13T09:33:00.000-04:00Jennifer and Penny, it is as not as difficult beca...Jennifer and Penny, it is as not as difficult because we have one advantage: Pamela has a positive episodic memory of life without programmed television and she can go online and order a DVD from Netflix.
