Fall Preview

Back in the old days I walked ten miles...wait, that’s not my story.  Back in the semi-old days as a kid I always looked forward to the Fall Preview edition of TV Guide.*  I would map out which of my favorite shows came back, and what new ones looked interesting.  I gauged the conflicts in scheduling.  Before I had a VCR there had to be a decisive winner, couldn’t watch them both!

I remember TV Guide changing with the times, trying to fit in with the additional cable channels.  The big turning point I did not like was when they went to “magazine” style; no more handy book-size editions.  Lots of flash and splash but the ease in reviewing was gone.  Well, I dropped my subscription and never went back.  But now I do appreciate their online presence for information.
Some people have kept their TV Guides for years.  If in good condition, it probably is worth some money.  I used to keep the Fall Guides, but they’ve fallen by the wayside.

TV programming has changed a lot.  I don’t even watch that much on network TV (and I dropped extended cable--too expensive).  Netflix and Amazon Prime offer some good stuff, and I wait for them to pick up shows from networks; that way I can be the one to schedule viewing.

But this fall I do look forward to NBC “The Good Place*” and CBS “NCIS*.” One show is fairly new, this being it’s final (4th) season; the other starting its 17th season (ps--I hope they bring back Ziva for real!).

TV has been a popular pastime all my life.  Pick and choose your favorites, folks.  But remember:  📺 viewer discretion is advised. 😉     Theresa M.
