    No, probably you don't.
    I just gave up on TV altogether last April when a tree took out the cable. All I really miss is the weather radar. Occasionally, maybe "Mythbusters", "Deadliest Catch", and....."America's Next Top Model".

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Ain't it the truth!
    I have 100's of cable channels and two movie suites and I flip through the channels over and over most nights, and then put in an old war movie DVD.

    I watched Battleground for the umpteenth time last night, and it was still better than anything showing on HBO, etc

    World War II, Bastogne, bad weather, low rations and ammo, fighting. What's not to like.

    Wow, it's been a few years since I watched Battleground. Found this in the Walmart value bin for $5 a few years back:

    Attachment 30979
    Amazon.com: TCM Greatest Classic Films Collection: World War II - Battlefront Europe (Kelly's Heroes / Where Eagles Dare / The Dirty Dozen / Battleground)

    All decent movies, but Battleground is the real gem out of the bunch. Maybe I'll put it on again tonight...

    Yep can't bare to watch the news. History,Discovery. A&E are 55% ads or previews for upcoming shows. We did not have CATV when I was a teenager but I had friends who did. I seem to remember watching documenterys for hours with no commercials. Now after midnight most channels go to infomercials. No value in CATV or satellite often have to resort books (probably a good thing).

    For those not in Colorado... he has taken helicopter flights a couple times in the show to buy guns in Golden, Co.
    His shop is in a town called Wheat Ridge which shares a border with the town of Golden.
    Its pretty much a 15 minute drive from ANYWHERE in Wheat Ridge to ANYWHERE in Golden. Ridiculous.

    Just all hype for the show.

    But sometimes there is some pretty cool stuff to look at. I record it so I can FF through all the BS.

    DVR and Fox news are the two reasons I have not put my TV and my dish at the curb.

    I'm now thunderless as well. I refer to that format as "no reality" shows. The pawn star, gold seekers, repo, bike building, wild man, animal catching BS shows which leave me on the verge of regurgitation every time I scroll past one and get the brief flash. I would add the show Swamp Loggers to the other list. Though they get a bit repetitious with the drama and constant equipment breakdowns, they are real and genuine people who do this for a living, living and working in a unique environment peculiar to that region of NC.

    When he flew up to the house in the foothills which sits on a pedestal, it reminded me of stories which circulated around Denver for years that the original owner of that house who had it built did so mostly cost free with material and workers paid for by the taxpayers, as he was a contractor building many of the subterranean missile silos scattered across the plains states.
