TV with the family.

Do any of you still watch TV as a family?
I'm now a solitary viewer. I watch what I want,when I want.
From what I can gather from friends,they are just the same. The kids watch on a tablet or computer,or an iphone. They're very often watching the same programme in different rooms.
As a kid,we sometimes had three generations huddled round the box,laughing or arguing the toss,and generally having a good time.
Can't help feeling we've lost something.

The remote?

We try to have film days with microwave popcorn and whatever the latest animated film is. Plus catchphrase is another one we watch as a family

Back of the settee. Always.

I remember when you had to actually get up to change channels.

I can just about remember when I still could without everything creaking.....

Speaking of creaking...........Bloody hell.

My kids like watching people playing games on Youtube, which I find strange...

My 8 year old is the same. He sits there watching people play minecraft or something called goat simulator? Can't understand it personally, but he can sit there for hours laughing his little head off if I don't drag him off it. 

Kids these days.......

Had a look a few weeks ago.

Check out the Kevin Mcnaughton wonder goal.

Keeper should have saved it.

Complete fluke.

World class hit and hope

 i'll get my boy to have a look he's another who watches videos of others playing minecraft and FIFA

as i have a 7 year old boy and a 3 year old girl we watch what they watch until bedtime. My boy does watch a lot of youtube now and occasionally will go on the kids section of Netflix.

We don't actually watch much telly as my daughter watches disney DVD's on endless repeat 

I always love watching the 'I ate all your Halloween candy' vids. Priceless.

As an aside to this earlier post,I should mention that these two are the elder brothers of Paul & Barry,aka the Chuckle Brothers. Talent runs in the family.

You truly are a mine of literally invaluable knowledge, sir.

That is the most interesting fact I have learnt all year.

Many thanks.

Now you Know why the most common phrase aimed at me at my place of work is 'shut up'.
