Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes...

Once again, we find ourselves amending our television viewing habits here in the Such Is Life household.  Some decisions by choice, others by necessity...

A couple of former fav shows we have recently dropped are Gene Simmons Family Jewels, and Storage Wars. Jewels had been a terrific show for many seasons, but in what we suspect is a bid recently to curry ratings, that show has become a poor man's Dr. Phil. And Dr. Phil has long been a poor man's Maury Povich. I don't need to know WHO the hell the baby's daddy is...

As for Storage Wars...well, we never even used to watch that show, until family members raved about it. I was then trapped by a marathon of episodes on a return flight from somewhere for my day job. Had to admit, I was hooked.

However, after what felt like a two-year break between last season and this recently launched new one, I lost interest again.

To be fair, in an effort to penalize our cable provider, we are about to slash our package dramatically, just for shiggles. We expect to switch away completely in a few days anyhow, but without a contract, we have been calling every few days to tinker with our plan.

Our latest amendment will be to drop many of the crappy channels that we never watch, but pay dearly for.

Soon, our new provider will give us (as part of an incentive) either a laptop or a tablet - I know they aren't actually giving us anything, we will eventually pay just as dearly as we did to the scoundrels we used to subscribe to.

But it won't be going to the scoundrels anymore...

Chow for now!
