    I don't working on Opening Day. Baseball is the one sport can enjoy as much on the radio as I do on tv. I'm so used to not being home for it that listening on the radio has become my own little tradition.

        Why would someone label you a homer for not watching a TV show?

        Have you ever wanted to coach or play basketball at the next level, but something prevented you from achieving that dream? Fret no more. Ask me about SimWorld Hoops to see how you can create your virtual self, and follow your path from the prep-level to the pros.

            It's one of those things you want to see so you can see how the show you watch ends, but also hate to see because it means the show you're watching is over.
            There are not enough series finales for me. Too many shows get abruptly cancelled with no real conclusion. Although TV has gotten better at this recently and allows shows to wrap it up more often than instant death.

                You have a home, right?

                Run to it now and watch the show.

                        You have a TV, you have HBO and from your XBox icon under your name, I assume you have a 360 or One, so go DL the HBOGo app and watch the first episode with your wife. If she isn't hooked within the first hour, divorce her.

                            The show has so much back stabbing and conniving people in it. Women love that stuff.

                                Just hearing the word "Framily" bothers me.

                                On the other hand, I saw the AT&T commercials with the gorgeous "Lily" chick about 5,000 times over the weekend and didn't mind one bit.

                                    Maybe just depends on types of shows you watch.

                                    But crazy to look back like 3 years ago and see the types of shows I watched and realizing that today so many of those shows are done. Only a handful of shows I watch today that were around on TV even just 3 years ago.

                                    Hopefully no other big show I watch will be ending soon, of all shows I currently watch, I only see maybe 2-3 of them at most possibly ending in next 2-3 years(Survivor and Simpsons,though both are in same situation,prob won't ever end until producers say so)

                                            LOL, you guys are hilarious. Alright, that will probably be the show to try tonight.

                                            I'll let you guys know how it goes.

                                                News stories that are just videos. I don't want to watch a freaking video, I just want to read about it. And what about hearing impaired people who might have trouble hearing the video? I know they could turn on closed-captioning, but what if they're also visually impaired and can't read fast enough to keep up with the closed-captioning.

                                                    I never watch the video, I just find another site with an actual news story on it.

                                                        Amazon's reviews for certain products. Too many products have reviews for other models bunched in with different models in their review section. The specs are different, features, etc.

                                                        The worst is when you click on a story, and the damn video autoplays on you. Most of the time to the right of what you really want to read.

And what about hearing impaired people who might have trouble hearing the video? I know they could turn on closed-captioning, but what if they're also visually impaired and can't read fast enough to keep up with the closed-captioning.
                                                            I'm right there with you, hate that. Also, the local TV news station apps always throw in stories that, when you click on them, are just links to the website. What good is the app if it's just going to throw me to the website? If I wanted to go to the website I would have just gone to the website and not used the app in the first place.
