Entertainment

My wife and I stopped paying for cable and just got a WIFI connection and a ROKU to watch a variety of programs that were available through Netflix, Prime, and HULU.  I wanted HULU so I could watch FOX News and did not really care about the others.

However, I cannot watch NEWS all day so I started surfing around the channels and found NOTHING of INTEREST.

Most of the selections were TV Series or Movies from the 2000s or more recent shows that were, to say the least, CRAPPY.  Crappy because they had illogical plots or plots that were plain stupid...  there were horrible acting and even worse special effects.

Of those OLD SHOWS that I did watch, shows from the BBC were the best.  They were full of excellent acting, outstanding plots, and better than average (my opinion) cinematography.

Part of my problem is no doubt my age and many of these programs that don't appeal to me do in fact appeal to a younger mentality.  Youth just wants to be entertained and don't really care about the quality of that entertainment.

The other issue that bothers me about these networks is the fact, that the first episode is FREE then you have to pay for all the rest of the episodes...  it does not take long to figure out what they have done there.

For those programs and series that are FREE and relatively good, it is almost another year before the second season is released.  By the time it arrives, you have forgotten about the first season, but the first season is no longer available...  WTF???

It is a shame that the state of ENTERTAINMENT in the USA is like this because it shows that the industry only cares about making money and putting the public in a situation where they are FORCED to buy the SHIT, they make available.
