Several years ago, I kind of started missing commercials. Wait! Here me out. It was Christmas time and DH was traveling and somehow I got to watching TV through the antenna. I watched all the Christmas specials, and cartoons, the morning shows. I had such fun! I hadn’t watched a Christmas special in years! Many years. I didn’t realize how much I missed them. It was great fun.
But then DH returned and we went back to streaming and no commercials. And that’s when I realized how much I missed commercials! Well, more of the commercial breaks then the commercials themselves.
I found myself, streaming a lot less. I looked for things to watch on live TV. We got the sling app so we could do that! We went back to those old days of watching weekend movies on TNT or TBS or whatever channel.
We would goof around the house, with the TV on sometimes watching, sometimes not. We would run to the bathroom like in our childhood days and try to make it back in time not to miss anything!
Our TV watching changed a bit. Oh, we still stream a lot but we have found that we enjoy Live TV again. Sometimes I think about getting rid of most of the streaming apps and just using our antenna with some kind of recording device so we don’t miss something when we are busy.
We haven’t made that jump yet but it is being talked about more and more often, as prices keep raising every year. We would miss all the shows we watch on different streaming platforms but we’ve also been enjoying reading together more and honestly, it probably wouldn’t hurt us to live more in real life rather than just watching actors on the screen living for us.
What do you think? Do you miss commercials? Do you miss fast forwarding through them? Do miss the breaks where you got to go get a refill on your beverage, or grab a snack, for run to the potty? The pause button just doesn’t seem the same… Do you think I’m crazy? Lol
