Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

I cant remember ever watching a whole Bond movie only bits of them

The Bond movies were coming out when I was a semi-rebellious teenager. I was raised in a very Catholic household and that meant that the entertainment bible was the organization called The Legion of Decency. They had banned all Bond movies from being seen and because of that my parents absolutely forbid me from seeing them. So, of course, I saw them all. Hey, drugs weren't a big thing back then, or at least they weren't in Vermont, so that is how we "put it to the man" in those days. We saw every movie we were not supposed to see. Moral of the story... never tell a teenager that they can't do something cause that is exactly when they will do it. However, now that I think about it, I would have seen them anyway so I guess it really doesn't matter. The only solution is to lock them in their room, I guess!

You know the saying “Happy wife. Happy life”?

Well in our house, it’s “Separate tv’s. Happy everybody”!

I admire those of you who can watch tv with your spouse. Mike and I do EVERYTHING together … but we won’t do that.

(And now I’m singing Meat Loaf in my head. And out loud.)

One TV household here.

Our HD Smart TV is connected to both. When I watch CBS, NBC, ABC,ESPN etc etc I am using the HD Cable box. When we want to watch Netflix I pick up the TV's remote...hit the smart hub button and then select Netflix. At that point the tv reaches out via the wireless network and connects to our home's wifi router. So the answer is: BOTH

My husband says you are correct.

He has also.connected.our living room smart tv to the wifi router by using a Cat 5 cable. We.got a nice upgrade to streaming picture quality when he did that. So our tv is physically connected to both the cable box and the router.

I just got a mini lesson that I didn't really want. And am likely to promptly forget. Whenever I want to watch something that's not whatever it is he's watching, I just tell.him what I want to see and he puts it on for me.

As long as Dashboard Lights aren't mentioned in this discussion.

You've trained him well.

Pluto TV has an entire channel devoted to America's Test Kitchen, but I seem unable to retain the knowledge of "how to get to Pluto TV". Once he gets that (is it an app?) going for me, I can navigate around it to the different channels and genres (I'm not a complete idiot )

And in return, he gets delicious meals

"Will work for food."

This legit made me laugh out loud, so I had to quote it in order to laugh equally hard online.

It’s an app. I have it on my phone and on the smart tv.

I can see how your situation would be true for many couples. I am grateful that my wife and I truly enjoy our nightly Netflix dates...year after year.

Mike likes to swear at hockey players. And football players. And basketball players.

I don’t.

I knew every line of that song long before it was cool to know every line of that song.

It was long ago and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today.

Since Christmas, we have had 20+ (I think the news said 25!) days without any significant sunlight. It’s getting old.

Hi friends!
I bet some of you can confirm some things for me as well as provide additional information.
My wife and I have just one tv in our home and it has basic cable (economy package) with Verizon Fios....this smart tv is connected to wifi. We watch Netflix and Youtube. I watch regular tv for sports and news. She's just interested in streaming. So...our one and only tv is in our den.
Now we'd like to keep that tv active just as it is but purchase a 2022 or 2023 smart tv and put it in the living room. That room has a gas fireplace and it would be nice for nighttime streaming viewing to be in there.
The plan is that we won't tell Verizon Fios because won't have cable box or watch regular broadcast channels on this 2022 or 2023 tv.
We'll just plug it in......go into that new tv's settings and connect it to the wifi and enter in our wifi password.
Having done that, I am assuming I can then click on any app the tv has preloaded and/or enjoy Netlix and or Youtube with no additional cost to my monthly cable bill.
Am I correct?
If not, set me straight.
If "Yes", is there anything else I need to know....or it's that simple?

Yes

 

[NYwdwfan]

Further to your question @SteveBrickNJ - I have 4 TVs. 2 are connected to both DirecTV and all our streaming services via wifi, and the other 2 just stream with wifi.

Don't you love winter without Christmas lights? I'm looking forward to seeing the sun in May.

Took the tree down earlier this week, but brought the outdoor tree in. The outside lights are still on.

See you in October:


This is a permanent thing:

Well, it is a small world after all!

Maybe.
The Giants fans are not remarkably different from the Eagles fans. I don't think the Giants players will feel intimidated.
Additionally, I've been listening to NY's Sports Radio Station (WFAN) and they make 2 points:
1) The quarterback for the Giants ( Daniel Jones) is playing great
2) The Giants have a lot of confidence right now.
They certainly could win.
(I hope not)

What a beat down the Eagles did to the Giants. I saw Jalen Hurts last summer in a hotel. He’s not the same guy I saw this weekend on TV. His body is all jacked up, probably spending much time in the gym.
