of Television.
I remember that phrase, used in TV commercials of the 50's, that's how old I am!
That statement can certainly be replaced with the words, .....the Internet. Truly amazing what is available as long as you can get a wifi signal, which is the 21st century equivalent of rabbit ears.
Early this morning I flipped open my iPad, hit the Netflix app icon and "tuned into" the continuously available mini-series made just for netflix subscribers, House of Cards. This political thriller tells the ugly tale of Frank Underwood, majority leader and aspiring President. It pulls no punches and is totally addictive. It is also adding another twist to the ever emerging options available.
Last night J and I watched our favorite weekly sitcom, Modern Family. However only 4 years after it began, it isn't all that modern. It is on weekly at the discretion of the network, well for now anyway. You can also catch episodes on the internet. The subject matter although very modern and groundbreaking in 2009 has been overtaken by same sex marriage, transgender equality and the prospects of the first lesbian mayor of NYC.
Like the commercial of the 60's said, Progress is our most important product.
