    only 700k? People must really love watching the same movie if it makes them qualify as a nerd.

      They’re parents. Kids love watching the same thing over and over again.

      I sat through the first half of zootopia like 6/7 days last week.

        Damn I now remember being stuck on an eurotrip in a caravan where the only vhs was toy story.

        That itself is sad. Being a good parent might mean finding something better for your kids to do than watching TV.

          The sad part is you making the idiotic assumption that having an option for kids to watch means that watching TV is the only activity they have available to them.

          You require time to relax and unwind, right? So do kids. Feel free to learn some nuance before talking with grownups, again.

            So are they getting a lot out of watching something over and over again?

            And yes, no TV is better than any TV. That is a valid adult view, and not idiotic at all. But it really was the over and over again part that I was commenting on.

            Maybe it is better than letting them wander all over tiktok and youtube which is much worse.
