Thanks and RIP Charles Durning

IMO, "Best  Little Whorehouse" is at best a see once if you have yet to do so but once is enough. EXCEPT(!) This  Charles Durning  clip, THIS is the best part of the show and is worth multiple watches. That said, it's not even  above his average as he can give you both  comedy and drama at it's highest level. Thank you Mr. Durning for the entertainmet and for the the example your life gave to all of us (Silver Star, Purple Hearts(3) on  D-DAY!!  ) 

RIP Broadcast TV?

I don't remember watching a broadcast TV program as broadcast in a year or likely more. Between Amazon streaming, Netflix, and Hulu everything I want to see is online or I DVR it for later consumption. Well some sports stuff live with friends/family but that's social.  I read the same from others in blogs and articles I see.

I wonder how much longer the cableTV/ISP owners can hide the secondary gain in their 'inablity' to provide highspeed internet?

Someone else thinks the same. Bandwidth caps as disincentives to IP TV
