I bought a TV. I can’t believe how cheap brainsuckers are these days, holy smokes. My laptop has been grumbling at its heavy use as an entertainment device, and, combined with the aforementioned cheep teevee prices, I felt a desire to jump in.

I also bought a Roku, enabling me to watch some (but not all) internet streaming content. “But not all”, I just said. I can’t watch Lifetime online (so no Project Runway) nor can I watch Logo online (so no RuPaul’s Drag Race), nor will I pay for the not-worth-it Hulu Plus (so no The Office, 30 Rock, Parks & Recreation), nor can I hook up a computer to the TV till I get a wireless keyboard (so no iTunes season subscription to Mad Men).

I vaguely remember being able to access cable from my room, 1.75 years ago before I stopped watching. I found the cord but I can’t get it unscrewed from my crappy old TV.

Not to mention the hugeness of the beast, a hugeness that will force me to move around all the furniture in my room so that I can be ergonomic about my not-watching.

Todd Margaret is as unenthused about my new television as I am. It looks wee here but it’s 32″ of mediocrity delivery system.

I think what my real beef is, is that I feel like I’ve depleted everything that I want to watch on Netflix Streaming. And I miss the ability to surf. Just flip it around the dial. Catch the shitty local news, fall asleep to the endless reruns of Friends, you know.

So that’s your exciting blog post, from me. I’ll leave you with a review, in its entirety, that a consumer left on the Amazon product page of this TV.

So I gave me, for the time being, at least. i am enjoying my television i dont know much about connecting to the internet what cables i used my son hamndles all that stuff i just enjoy
