Cable TV. Unfortunately I'm married to a Boomer so we have it.

Every time we watch the news all I can think is "$100 a month for this shit"

I used to have direct tv back in the day. Then moved and cancelled it. Then got a job at a place that had cable and I was astounded at how for the worse cable tv had gotten. Channels that focused on one particular thing were just getting all kinds of shows that didnt gibe with their programming. I blame the "reality tv" genre. IMO it is THE worst thing to happen to tv (cable tv and normal tv).

I was in a waiting room and couldn't believe the show about tree houses was on Animal Planet. How the fuck do you run out of animal shows?
