Since we no longer have TV (a long story involving being the "man" of the house!), we have purchased a Roku player so we can watch Netflix movies and TV programs on our TV. One of the TV shows that we have been watching together is "Flipper." The acting is corny. The story lines are lame. Yet, it is wonderful! Angie and Lilli both love the shows. They will watch them from start to finish. And when I sit down to watch them with me, I reflect back to my childhood days when we would watch the show together as a family.One reason (and a big one at that) I'm not concerned about getting TV back was the content of TV shows and the family "unfriendliness" of the shows. Even though Deb and I may roll our eyes with the poor acting or inconsistent story lines, we are watching TV together when we watch "Flipper." Back in my day, that was how it was always done. We watched as a family, but it seemed to have a lot more family friendly programming. Now, with Netflix and Roku, we can do the same.

Yay, joining the NON-TV watching club! We are in that club as well. We don't have Netflix though. :( We do have a really cool thing called Clearplay and we love love love it! It takes out all profanity and sexual innuendos. Love it! It makes movie watching way more comfortable. If you don't already have one, you should check it out. :) Miss you guys!
