We don't have cable anymore, though, and the things I watch on Netflix/Amazon/Hulu don't make me want to throw things.

Then I tend to yell at the tv :) mrbee on "Do you talk to the tv when you're watching it?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-talk-to-the-tv-when-youre-watching-it#post-1073145 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 19:50:07 +0000 mrbee 1073145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I tell the tv who the murderer is, and other key insights into the plot of the show I'm watching. I'm sure the tv appreciates hearing what's going to happen ahead of time... I try to tamp it down when Bee is around though. Do you talk to the tv when you're watching it? What do you tell it?
