This weekend, late evening, I turned on the TV, paging through the channel guide. I realized, 90% of the content is repeats. The same old (often enjoyable) shows, cycling and recycling. Columbo, Monk, endless NCISs, Law and Order, Family Feud, and on and on. Movies that have repeated endlessly–all the James Bond movies, Dumb and Dumber, Fast Times, the Breakfast Club.

But then again, there are significantly fewer steps to the train ride.
