Just not the way you think.
A few months ago Triple S and I agreed we were paying WAY TO MUCH for satellite TV. This isn't to say we didn't like it. Because we certainly did, but the bill just kept getting larger and the number of shows we were watching was getting smaller and smaller.
So we cancelled and got a streaming box and a digital antenna. (unless there is a chance I'm going to get something free I'm not plugging any name brands!)
Yeah. Old school rabbit ears. (although they are hidden in the attic so no one knows.)
That way we could keep watching local channels and the fabulous b team news.
That is what Triple S and I call the local news. If you are from the New York tri state area and you have since moved to small market news location then you know what I'm talking about. It's like watching high school Shakespeare. Sure they may get all the lines right but it isn't the same.
When we finally severed the satellite link we started discovery new things. Well actually old things but they are new to us again.
Sunday morning The Monkees are on. It actually holds up. It's still silly and fun and it makes you smile.
The best part though is Saturday's line up.
1966 Batman
1975 Wonder Woman
1966 Star Trek
Better still is the fact that my kids are excited about watching these. When they found out Star Trek was on netflix they started a marathon.
As a parent you are supposed to share the world with your kids. Teach them about the important things and that is why I feel like I am totally winning as a parent.
You can teach your kids sharing and kindness. I'm sticking with nerd topics only.
