Saturday Morning TV

Watching morning, especially Saturday morning, TV can teach you a lot.

First if you need a lawyer, there is one firm in Pensacola that seems to have hired over half the population; then there is an ad with a lizard where who wears all types of hats advertising something, a gum bursting with flavor, an ad on how to make your own business cards, and another on where to buy clothes for kids, cheaply. You can drink your breakfast, you can flip your house or build a treehouse; a program called Scaled, shows a lizard, an ad for diabetics not having  to finger stick now- they can scan their sugar,

You can control a skin disease now with a “wonderful, new” product; there is a car ad that shows just about every living creature, a furniture ad for sales on expensive outdoor furniture. That was just one 30-minute show on Animal Planet. I would not be able to keep up on a major network, I am sure; and the best one is that you can buy a car on your phone and it will be delivered to you!

We are inundated with ads everywhere we go, and we have just about become complacent about them. I get up and do other things when they are on, or just tune them out. If there weren’t so many I might pay attention to what they are saying.
​

Oh, well, now for the next show.
