Toonami moved from the afternoon block awhile back, no point in watching television anymore 
What!!! ONLY SEVENTEEN!!! THIS CAN’T BE REAL!! OHMYGOD!!!
First World Problems… nothing to see here, move along
Currently I dont watch much TV either, except some documentaries or discussions about social/health issues.
We have free to air satellite TV and can watch a lot of good TV channels for free and in HD.
Especially the channels from Germany.
For some of them you’d need a subscription in our local PayTV, eg Disney channel
I only play video games ever I don’t even own a tv just an asus monitor and another walmart brand monitor with av hookups for smash
I actually do use torrents for my shows. I’m just saying when the tv is on, thats what it was on.
I dont even have cable anymore.
That’s 17 channels too many. Television is trash. What isn’t completely awful, is filled with bullshit propaganda.
Between my consoles and my computer, I can watch whatever I want mostly. Most of what I watch are old cartoons from the 80s and 90s that don’t come on TV anymore.
Oh please tell us more about you deep insigts into TV Goten.
SMH.
Kids watch tv.
They’re who cable is for.
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
You single guys ain’t moving units.
I feel like I’m being baited here, but whatever.
MSNBC and Fox News don’t try to inform, they just try and tell you how you SHOULD be thinking and who you SHOULD be voting for. CNN does nothing but dumb down the news, and all three skew it horribly in some way.
When a news source is reporting on celebrities or some shit instead of stuff that matters, then I question the validity of the whole thing. And none of the others are any different either, pandering to mainstream crazes and flavor-of-the-month stories to bring in that cash in the short term. It all reeks of desperation and a lack of respect for the viewing audience.
I’m done. Commence the laughing or trolling I guess.
Never forget
^ What the fuck. :lol:
I have been without cable going on 6 years now and I don’t miss a goddamn thing about it. I don’t even have one of those convertor boxes that allows me to watch crappy network and local channels.
My tv basically serves as a streaming media/gaming hub.
Was just curious tobsee how you where going to lump every single thing on TV into the same pool. You do know not everything on television is the news right?
In general, even before I stopped watching TV, the only things I ever watched on it were cartoons. Eastern cartoons, western cartoons, whatever. Since the quality of cartoons fell sharply in recent years, I wanted to watch the news to at least stay informed. What I found was a mess.
Since those are the only two things I cared about, I decided to just stop.
I don’t watch TV anymore except for live sports, Toonami, the occasional episode of sportscenter, and live fights on HBO. Everything else I get is courtesy of Hulu, Netflix, WWE Network, and HBO Go. In fact HBO should just do the right thing and make HBO Go independent from cable and charge a subscription for that and only that (and if you read the toonami thread you know I feel the same about that too). The internet is a far superior product to watch content for anything that is not live sports and that is why I don’t use TV very often.
Exactly this. Love the idea about an independent HBO Go. I want my channels/services á la carte.
Theffuck D=
I heard a bit on the radio talking about breaking news these days. Now everything is breaking news because the news channels want to make it seem like if you’re not tuned in all the time you’re going to miss something extremely important. Years ago breaking news meant someone important was killed, some huge political uprising was going down, or something unprecedented was going on. Now it’s whatever dumb shit they think will pump ratings.
I’m actually surprised that more people don’t know about that moment.
Maybe its because we don’t watch TV. It also ain’t like the NYT is going to force me to switch from the article I’m reading to some dribble about Beiber.
As far as TV being trash, I have to disagree. The real problem is the quality shows : total shows ratio which is entirely fucked up. On top of that ratio being all fucked, the amount of dumbasses watching trash makes it so that great TV shows don’t last. The last couple of years have launched some damn good dramas which have pulled no punches on the intensity or the moral dilemmas.
At this point, if you’re watching trash its because you want to watch trash.
