My Entertainment Sphere

Tweet

I love to watch TV in the evening. I watch movies, series, and documentaries. I grew up watching television back when westerns were so popular and you got many live shows back then too. Jack Benny, Betty White, Steve Allen, and many more. Back in the 50s before technology was what it is today. Now days the apps are our entertainment. We don't go out to bowl or any community events. We don't go to movies although my grandson is a real superhero fan. I think the only time we would go to a theater now is for an epic superhero movie. The last time we went to a theater was to see one of the first Thor movies back in about 2011. Something about the big screen. But, now with the size of in-home televisions it nearly the same. I figure it this way: We don't go out into the world and if we went to a theater to see a movie it would cost us three about $50-$60 and even more if it was an IMAX. I pay $76 a month for 6 TV apps. (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO MAX, Paramount+ and Philo) On one I am a member of a club where I get to see new movies as they are being developed and then I give my opinion of them. On another I get most all of the channels I had when I had cable and was paying $250 a month for and only pay one tenth of that now. The others have series on them which I have gotten interested in like Dexter, Elsbeth, The Night Agent, Ginny & Georgia, The Gilded Age, Nobody Wants This, Strange new Worlds, and The Hunting Wives. Many have old TV shows on them that I can watch again and enjoy. And yes, there are a lot of free apps to watch too. I still watch HSN, and QVC and am still a fan. I can see movies on Freevee, Plex, Tubi, and Pluto TV. They also have some live channels with monster movies (MONSTER) and two that show vintage movies which I love. It's so funny to watch old monster movies like I used to when I was 9 years old and had to share the TV with my mean stepbrother. So there you have my TV insanity. I know most of you have lives that take you venture outside of your homes, and you have cars to get there. We don't! We very rarely go anywhere. Mostly only to doctor's appointments or to the Dollar Store (my daughter loves to go there.). So having television is a great outlet for me and searching for a movie to watch or whatever gives me something to do. And my research keeps me busy too. It's like my hobby.
