Anyone here who does not watch current network televison?

[Yong Fang]

Does anyone here not watch any network television (dramas or sitcoms)? I do not. The ONLY network show I watch is Young Sheldon on CBS. That's it.
On HBO from Youtube watch John Oliver and Bill Maher. Most all my viewing comes from Youtube online. Youtube is wonderful.

I looked at what shows were going to be on this Fall and just had absolutely on interest in any of them whatsoever for various reasons. Some I used to watch like Law and Order SVU and The Simpsons which I stopped watching years ago. This also includes the so called "plus" networks like HBO plus, Paramount plus, Disney plus, etc.

Just nothing appeals to me whatsoever. I basically just looked to see when the new season of Sheldon was coming back on. I have noticed when I return home from overseas and try to watch a network show that there seems to be loooong commercial breaks and a 30 minutes show is only 19 minutes.

I notice a lot of people on here talk about channels such as MeTV and what reruns they show and it seems that a lot of people here are middle aged like myself who would rather watch something from the 60's-90's than anything now.

Maybe I am getting older and have aged out of new shows. I have finally aged out of the prime demographics that advertisers advertise to. To me the modern landscape is a large void of nothing. Thankfully there is 70 years of television to fall back on.

I don't either. I have seen Young Sheldon a few times.

I saw the whole first season of CBS's "Ghosts", but saw it on Paramount Plus after all the episodes had appeared on the network. The second season starts soon, so we'll see if I pick up weekly watching again. The last weekly show I watched was Big Bang.

The only ones I watch are Blue Bloods and Young Sheldon. I may give that new one (Fire Country) about California wildfires a try.

I dont watch anything and havent in several years.......

If it was an analogue picture like it used to be AND THE QUALITY OF PROGRAMMING WAS GOOD AGAIN,I would def watch...

[SarahBellum]

I currently do not watch any network shows. The last network show I watched regularly was The Office, however, I eventually grew tired of it after a few seasons and stopped watching. More recently, I tried watching Mr. Mayor with Ted Danson, but that show fizzled out after a few episodes. What I find disgusting about network shows of the last 20+ years is their reliance on raunchy, vulgar content pertaining to genitalia, sexual innuendo, etc. and is one of the reasons I stopped watching.

[Chocolate Moose]

I watch fewer shows as the years pass by

[Merry24]

Young Sheldon is the only thing I catch currently.

[1960'sTVfan]

With very few exceptions, I don't watch TV shows made from 1980 and forward. I mostly like 1960's TV shows, and some from the 50's and 70's. I have DVD's of most of my favorites so I watch those and seldom watch retro channels like MeTV or Antenna TV.

[king of comedy]

I enjoy Ghosts and Abbott Elementary.

[LUNCH]

Not only current, I do not watch any TV made in the 21st century. I also do not watch or listen to any made in the 21st century movies or music. I only watch and listen to the good stuff, the old stuff. Most of it made before the 1990s.

I gotta say, I occasionally eat lunch in a Subway that plays a radio station with current hits. I don't know any of them, and they are just awful.

I don't know if unlistenable is a word but that is what they are. In addition to being terrible, they are actually agitating to listen to. I think so called music from the past few decades should banned from being played in public places for that reason. It is like listening to a drill.

[SarahBellum]

I agree. Current music is horrendous and has been for quite a while. Are there any good song writers any more? I don't think so. Are there any vocalists with good singing voices? I don't think so. Does anyone play instruments any more? I think all instrumentation is synthesized now. I say it is time for a metamorphosis in the music industry.

It is not ones age in my opinion. It is that made in the 21st century so called entertainment is terrible. That is my opinion and I can only comment for myself.
