The weather is kinda lousy here in Massachusetts right now, but I’ll take you up on the later half of your post.

@Chief Nine We need an a-la-carte system for choosing what we want to pay for. The music channels are now gone as well.

I am in a Catch 22 as in Cambridge Xfinity is the only game in town as the city will not allow RCN or FiOS in.

I’m in Lowell and it’s pretty much the same here.

Been saying that for years Fen about ala carte. But until a huge number of old school cable customers like us finally say “that’s it!” they’ll keep doing this.

Funny thing is, all of us were brought up by parents who all said the same thing:

“No way we’re paying for TV”

Then they eventually all got cable and we grew up on it

Saw Once Upon A Time In Hollywood last week and Joker today

Any other good recommendations

Everett Mike - did you review the Joker ? I know you did the trailer stuff but not sure about movie

In deference to my wife,I went to see Judy last weekend. Zellweger was excellent,Garland was a train wreck and Mayer of Goldwyn/Mayer would be in prison in today's world.

When I was a kid (early 2000s) it was "I'm not paying for cable/high speed internet!"

And they caved too.

If I could find a platform that guaranteed access to every Patriots, Bruins, and Red Sox game (regular season and playoffs), I’d kick Comcast to the curb tomorrow.

If I wasn’t a sports fan, we would have fired Comcast years ago.

TCM is a big one for me because I love the old movies. And they know that the demographic who watches TCM will probably bite the bullet or work yet another deal out and stay with them.

The problem with me with just going internet only is I get frustrated when trying to figure out how I can get this and get that and that’s how Comcast wins. I have to make sure my family gets what they watch too.

This is why people give up and stick with them and they know it.

But this was really low telling people that it was all TCM wanting more money and poor Comcast Tried all they could but in the end they just couldn’t do anything but put them in another tier.

I know when I call them they’ll throw another one year deal at me and it’ll be good enough to take.

Then it starts all over again when they pull another crappy move or that deal expires

Mrs. 103 and I dance that same dance with them every year.

my daily act of kindness will also seem kind of gross to some here but I take that pup you see in the picture for a walk every day down a path that leads to a public school and far too often on the side of that path, other pet owner`s who don`t care about doing their part leave their dogs "gifts" along the grassy part that runs down both sides of the path. I usually take some extra baggies to try to pick up some of that mess. The thought that some of those young kids playing as they go to or from school and stepping in it infuriates me.

youtube tv has this. $50 a month.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

CT drivers are a combo of MA and RI. Aggressive speed deamons

especially the large tractor trailers. those guys are out for blood on rt 84

Are you using that now in place of cable? I’m trying it for their 5 day trial. Looks pretty good so far, but then it’s a question of how much does Comcast charge for internet fast enough to stream on all our tvs etc

 

[DarrenBanks56]

no. i stream spectrum tv from a roku ans smart tv. i think just internet is $45 a month from my provider the first 2 years. tgen it goes to $65. tgars foe 100 mbps no data caps

Yeah I bought Spectrum when I moved to upstate NY, and I've been pleased so far.

 

[Bruinaura]

I've been laughing at this for the last five minutes

Having a blast with friends in Maine this weekend

 

[Ron Quixote]

Henniker and Warner NH rock! Our hosts and parents of the bride were amazing.

aww, back in the East!? Had lunch in/near Henniker once. Must be pretty this time of year.

 

[Kovi]

80 degrees and beautiful last night in AZ. We sat outside under the pergola for a while. So pretty.

 

[LouJersey]

amazing to think most families spend 500 bucks a month on cell phone and cable/internet these days. I've cut back a bit and my kids pay their own share, but man that's a pretty big expense.

 

[EverettMike]

@EverettMike are you a Breaking Bad fan? If so thoughts on El Camino?

In the Catskills for a wedding this weekend. Won't watch it til tomorrow night. Will let you know.

Actually haven't seen it yet. This week.

 

[Bruinaura]

Wow, that could have ended badly. Glad the pilot made it safely and no one was hurt.

 

[BMC]

Returning home today. Bummer.

Talk about a soft sell with the word “fell”.

That makes it sound like the aircraft nestled softly into a field of grass and nary a blade was disturbed
