I was watching something on Netflix and when “Skip Intro” came on, I thought of this.
I don’t watch many streaming services, but luckily I got this idea from one, you know, when you skip the intro to the tv show and get right into it.
I pay for many streaming services, I just don’t watch them. I need to do that thing where you delete them and just pay for them when you want to see something.
There are things I want to see, but I find myself watching tv the old fashioned way – on cable. Yes, I guess cable tv is the old fashioned way.
I remember many years ago, maybe in the 1970s, when I had seen something on tv; I don’t remember what the show was, but at the end I said to my mother, I wish I could just snap my fingers and be in California so I could see the show again when it came on in their time zone.
I didn’t think of taping it with a VCR because there were no VCRs yet. Hard to imagine a time when you had to see the show when it was on and possibly see a summer re-run, or you missed it for good, or wait until years later when they were all on streaming services.
Today, I still watch tv when the shows are on, you know, Thursdays at 9 on CBS on Tuesday at 8 on Bravo or whatever. I do DVR things and watch that, but I don’t really dabble in streaming services. I just overpay for them every month, along with the cable service, which I have to cancel soon.
I know I can do it online at their websites, but I want to speak to a person because I may be able to get a good deal to stay.
I just have to make the call, which I am dreading. You know, you try to make a fast phone call and it ends up being a frustrating hour or so.
