Are you doing your part?

We've been doing our part for years.

It's not surprising. Summer is mostly re-runs of blah shows, so why would anyone watch them? We pop in a DVD and relax in the evenings. Some nights we sit on the porch and rock. Or play card games, or visit neighbors.

Network tv hasn't really offered much in several years, so ... I'm not surprised.

We sure dont watch much TV either, but do find some good stuff on the History Channel.
And the public broadcast channels have some good things. Some Jacques Costeau shows been on recently. You just have to spend time picking thru the listings and there are some things worth watching, but takes some weeding thru.
Weather Channel and some sports, and thats about it.

Yep, we've been watching a lot of DVD's and VHS tapes and also have played Monopoly twice this last week. The hazy, crazy days of summer!

My son always teases: "All you watch is news and sports events."

Well, almost.
