(I apologize I just cannot figure out an image that would best highlight today's posting.)
I am so shall I must
confess that I'm totally excited that the new television season
starts tonight. Well it's not the kind thing I lose any sleep over
Maybe it's just the promise of the new season of some of my favorite
shows like Young Sheldon, Big Bang Theory. Maybe it's because
I'm an old guy now that the new season does not charge me up like it
used to. Maybe I'm just underwhelmed because of so many different
forms of media nothing especial weight used to be. In the old days
when the three giant networks ran the complete television platform
the new season was a big deal. It was so cool background to try new
things every year. Not only did it have new series they spotlighted
but also “movie of the week”. Networks actually showed relatively
new movies on the TV. It seems like the day/evening changed from year
to year as the networks try to capture larger viewing populations.
I think I came around just
at the right time to take advantage of such what seemed cosmic
events. The new Star Trek's series was always astounding along with
Man From Uncle and even Get Smart and
a host of other programming those bright, shiny and new. Of course,
my schoolwork, kind of went down the tubes at this point. I was one
of the first academic casualties to electronic media. The networks
truly competed with each other for market share trying out all kinds
of things to trap the consumer interviewing their offerings. I
remember some of networks actually offering to our special that
showed snippets of all the new offerings for the season. Nothing like
that now. Now it's program streaming and even on demand. In some
parts of the media universe you can get the whole season at once been
used to the whole thing if you want to. What a great time to be alive
in here television junkie.
I'm
certainly not going to waste my whole night on the two but I am going
to watch the two Sheldon's offerings. I'm going to miss Big Bang
theory. However, the need to reformat the premise of the show since
most of the actors were young academics at the time are now
middle-aged professionals trying to act like young academics does not
really make much sense so it's good the closing this season. However
like I said I would be interested in seeing how each one of these
little characters spin off into their own little universes and lives.
Maybe somebody will pick up on this and that's the new direction.
I
think I'll grab my salad which I made earlier this week. Nothing do
anything as energetic as making popcorn are doing anything special to
celebrate the beginning of the new television season except for sit
back in my power chair and bask in the soothing gentle radiation of
my flats creen television and welcome the new season with open arms.
