Thinking about turkeytop's question about shows you watched as a kid.  This is the opposite.  Did you have a time  when you didn't watch TV at all for an extended time or very little?

When I went to college for 3 years, I hardly watched any television ...  
 

Kind of the same for me as well.  During my university years, the only TV I watched was the Leafs games & CityTV's "The New Music" .. with the odd exception when I'd watch the Sunday afternoon movie (think cheesy escape'ism stuff like Sinbad) in a total act of procrastination from doing class assignments.

Of course now, TV watching is totally different.  I'm on Teksavvy IPTV & only subscribe to the Sports & News packages; the basic channels are almost never watched.  The last appointment style viewing I've done was back in 2016 for the 2nd season of "Better Call Saul".   

 

"The Man from Uncle", "Batman" and "Jonny Quest" : )) ..

You can't win all the games in the season if you don't win game#1.

Ya know what Nate Pearson needs to do this season .. throw strikes.

Am I just an old curmudgeon now, but is it annoying that every radio and TV outlet continues to portray St. Patrick's Day as a day of fun and parades when everyone is supposed to revel and drink and have fun and be happy and hold huge parades.
It seems especially absurd in Toronto which has a largely diverse population.
To me the main duty a radio station has these days is to report about St Patrick's Day in terms on what annoying street closures there will be because of intrusive parades.
 

Does your sentiment also apply to the Santa Claus, Caribana & Pride parades?  What about the various charity runs or marathons?

I expect amusing things to occur when this cunning political strategy fails miserably.

The downward spiral continues for the party/supporters of "the unhinged" ..  

Conrad Black .. a narcissist, a blowhard, devoid of integrity, a criminal, a thief .. his pompous, conceited drone is nauseating ..

Black & Trump are two peas in pod;  both a stain on society ..

This was a fine week to listen to 1010....Tory/Jerry/Vassy. Moore's boring lead-in to the day is why 1010's share is +/-1%

I really doubt that.  Moore is probably the best remaining thing there.  I really enjoyed John when he hosted afternoons between 2003 and 2009.

What is your hate on for this guy anyway?  I think you'd find John would do really well if he was on FM or podcasts; something more accessible than AM radio.

re: What is your hate on for this guy [John Moore] anyway?
tis obviously jealousy & envy of Moore's skill & decades of longevity in the cutthroat, insecure radio  business .. 
 

Years ago David "Menzoid" Menzies was an occasional panelist on John Oakley's morning show & proved every appearance what a Grade A A-hole he was .. just a belligerent, loud-mouthed boor.

Merry Xmas RA .. your efforts are appreciated : )) .. 

At one time most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe. (Polar Express) .. Merry Christmas to all.

Tunes currently on my "Crank It Up" list : )) ..

But sometimes you come across someone that simply rubs you the wrong way. And to me that person is Laura Babcock, a communications strategist who seems to be on NT1010 almost as often as the hosts of the shows themselves. She's a frequent flyer on their Roundtable segments.

My problem with Babcock is two-fold. First and most important is she simply never stops talking. I've actually started to time some of her answers in a discussion in which other guests are waiting for their chance to speak. And they have to wait, often a long time. A topic will come up and they'll ask her for comment. And she talks. And talks. And talks. And talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and keeps on talking, rarely letting anyone else get a word in edgewise. 
...
... 
...

Laura Babcock talks & talks & talks??? .. how about Mark Warner. 

Babcock has often been paired with Mark Warner on Moore's Round-Tables .. & John Moore, on more than one occasion, has had to reprimand Mark Warner for not letting others speak and being belligerent, mocking & condescending.  Warner is often quite long winded & meandering making his unclear points.

I'll take Ms. Babcock over Mark Warner any day of the week .. 
 

Dave Edmunds for the win : )) ..
