Tv's Come Untethered

Sports, Sports, Sports
   Weather, Weather, Weather
News, News, News
   TV's come untethered

Business, Business, Business
   Politics left and right
From dawn to dusk, and onto evening
   And far into the night

Pundits, Experts, Talking Heads
   Some quite lively, some quite dead
Studio audiences and callers-in 
   Vying to be heard above the din

Hundreds of channels, options galore
   Comedies, movies, talk shows and more
For the serious viewer, watch a docu-drama   
   Decked out in bathrobe, slippers, and pajamas

Is all this really better than the 'good old days'
   When there were only four channels, only four ways
To while away the time, potato chips and couch
   ~ The fare then far superior, I'll bet you'd avouch
