This is going to give away my age but I don't care!
I grew up during a time when reading was more important to a person than television. Of course we only had three channels and two UHF channels to watch back then. But we had access to hundreds of books through our local and school libraries.
You never heard of UHF? That's because you needed an antenna or rabbit ears to receive the signal on your TV. That's where the PBS channels were located.
Then came HBO, which I got immediately through a microwave signal, cable started giving us hundreds of channels, and then huge satellite receivers gave us channels from around the world which eventually turned into smaller receivers as more satellites went into space, and finally the internet came along which created its own kind of channels to watch.
I might not be chronologically correct but you get the idea.
Then came all the streaming services.
I have the ones you pay for
and a lot of the free ones.
I could list them all here but,
let's just say I have at least 25 of them.
When I had five channels,
six channels,
150 channels,
or now,
that I have 500 hundred channels,
I always seem to say the same thing!
There is nothing to watch on TV!

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
