Commercial TV..

If you watch TV and don't zip past the commercials, your brain will be "dumbed down" ..if you have a high degree of culture, you watch only documentaries and science shows. like I do..

I can't say I know what is this "commercial TV" you mention.

Most of my "TV" viewing is done on Netflix. No commercials.

IMHO - TV commercials are what the mute button is designed for. With the exception of a few select sports events every year such as the Wimbledon singles finals, I watch very little TV, instead I'm at the chessboard, getting ready for some upcoming OTB events.

Not sure where that ranks on the culture scale. 😏

Apart from Star Trek and Big Bang Theory/Young Sheldon, commercial tv is a wasteland. I don't watch anything else.

Geez. How middle-manager can you get...

Hey, I'm 65 and got a crush on Kaley Cuoco. What can I say? You should be so lucky to fall in love with someone totally unreachable, all over again, at my age.

@moonbus

I've seen three famous actresses in my life, in person, and they don't look anywhere as good w/o all that make-up. And they are way short, too.

You think I don't know that? The most delicious infatuation is with someone you know you'll never reach. It's like my first crush in high school: she was a cheerleader, I was a computer nerd in the chess club. I was invisible. I could stare at her and she didn't even know I existed.

You could do worse, as crushes go.

Way worse.

I can relate. I had some modest success on the sports scene in high school, so had a few social points in my favor, but was so awkward and tongue tied around girls, they didn't if care if I existed.
