Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for March 01, 2022

But the price isn’t shrinking is it Ziggy.

nope, Zigster, never occurred to me

Yeah—along with the quality of entertainment

And also over the years there are more TV channels and we still say that there is nothing to watch on TV.

But waist lines also got bigger.

They cook faster though. I remember when TV dinners were packaged in tin foil and you had to heat them in the oven.

TV dinners here in Iceland have gotten so big, that they’re way too big for one person, but not big enough for two. I used to buy TV dinners all the time, but now I hardly ever do.

Got that right Zig

And the TV speakers have gotten smaller and they’re in the back of the set so you can’t hear what’s being said. I’m glad that I’ve got CC.

It’s either things get smaller, and the price stays the same or things get smaller and the price also goes up

It’s easier to get healthier foods (more veggies, in particular) in frozen dinners… but it seems they make those for people who want to watch their calories. Personally, I’d like more than 300 or so calories for putting out the price I pay for those dinners.

One of the unfortunate results of the “balkanization” of entertainment, caused by infinite channel access, is that it is pretty hard to find someone in the “real world” of the “water cooler break” who has seen the same program – especially if you are into something like fly-fishing with drones in the Outback.

I remember when TV dinners came in aluminum trays…

Very, very little to watch!

Plus, your TV dinner gets cold as you click through the channels trying to find something to watch.

Same with ice cream!

And there are more commercials.

I haven’t watched any TV at all since about 1985. No antenna, no cable, no satellite, no streaming, nada. The only time I miss it is when a crossword puzzle clue references some TV program.
