So sick, so exhausted, can't sleep. Trying to watch T.V.
Why do cameramen hold the camera like they are drunk ? I thought it was a prerequisite for cameramen to have a steady hand.
Biggest offender is Modern Family. Cameraman zips camera from left to right. Ceiling to floor. Weird angles that make absolutely no sense. Who 's brilliant idea was this ?
And why do actors mumble and whisper incoherently ? I thought it was a prerequisite for an actor to pronounciate the English language so the audience can follow the story ?
If the scene calls for an actor to whisper, I ll turn the volume up and still don't understand a damn word they say. Why can't they learn the phonics of the English language ?
Whatever.

Yes, it is terrible! Mush mouth and/or spastic hands. One reason I rarely "watch" tv or often listen to re-runs because I can tell who is who by the voices.
And if it made me laugh the first ten times around, it will still make me laugh. The ONLY good thing about having a Lyme brain is you can forget you've seen it before!

Ain't that the truth.
Being an avid reader, I ve had a library card for years.
Until I kept checking out the same books. Never been back since.

Make it easy on yourself. Don't watch sitcoms. They aren't worth it anymore.

Give me Hazel and I Dream of Jeannie any day of the week! I also like the old show The Rockford Files.
All of the shows we watch are mostly DIY and are recorded because we can't stand the commercials.
Sometimes there is a show where a character's voice trails off and you can't hear it.
I turn on the captions and rewind a little to catch what was said in case it's important.
