I've recently realized something about me. I've undergone a large change. Growing up, we would never watch sports on TV. We didn't really watch that much TV. Over the years, my TV watching has changed, I've stopped watching TV shows and this year, I have only watched sports on TV!
We were an early adopter of TiVo and I would leverage that technology to watch the TV shows I wanted to watch. I was pretty selective; it was shows like Alias, Nikita, and New Girl. Another interesting thing, there are some common elements in those shows.
A few years ago, I got a Kindle and reading replaced watching TV, almost entirely. You can find me on Goodreads.
As my youngest kid started playing football, we started watching some football games on TV. It didn't hurt that the Seattle Seahawks kept getting better and better each season, either.
Then, we got into CrossFit and watched the CrossFit games on TV.
We've had awesome Super Bowl appetizers and I'm still not sure which the kids like more - the eating or the football.
The World Cup just finished up and I watched every US game and the quarter, semi and finals.
This year's CrossFit games are only 3 days away and going to be streamed on ESPN3. And with my Chromecast, I'll be watching them.
I still don't watch very much on the television screen, but my TV watching is now entirely sports. Quite a change, from watching M*A*S*H (probably reruns) on a small black and white TV to televised sports in High Definition.
What is your can't miss show on TV? Do you even still watch broadcast television or is it all streaming?
Another small note: I realized that enablling Google+ comments on my blog required a Google account to make any comment, so I've disabled that feature. Everyone should be able to comment on my blog posts now, so get commenting!
