Have you heard of this trend of young people living like baby boomers?

5,642 884 July 25, 2018 at 10:06 PM
I recently started living like a boomer after losing my job. I started by getting rid of cable and watching broadcast TV.

My programs are Elementary, SWAT, and pretty much anything on CBS in primetime. I don't have enough money for a good antenna, so CBS has become my favorite network. I am really starting to warm up the that CBS morning news. I didn't like it when Charlie Rose and that black woman (Oprah's friend) would flirt but this new guy is alright.

I have also been drinking a lot of instant coffee. Folgers Crystals is one of the best drinks I've ever had.

Hey now. Don't knock instant coffee till you've tried it chilled on a hot summer day with just the right amount of liquid creamer(or plain old milk).

And I hate to say it but most of my TV watching is shit from the 80's(A-Team, etc), stuff that's on broadcast networks(Fox or CBS) or shows that should've been off TV years ago already(NCIS). Although I can't go without my Venture Bros(aka Johnny Quest spoof). So I couldn't do without cable at the moment unless I went all Pirate.

It's easy to do that in Facebook. People post their entire "private" lives for the public to see. It's good entertainment.
