I love TV and hate it. (self.Blind)
submitted by iam_that_one_ag
This is just a rant.
I hate when TV shows have text messages in the shot and never read them! I always feel like I'm missing out on some inside joke or important information related to the plot!

Sorry if I am not using the correct format or this is not accessable to some. I had a hard time finding the I formation on my mobile. :0

This doesn't really have to do with TV but it goes with movies. I hate subtitles in movie theaters because one of my friends has to lean over and tell me what they say and it's really awkward. And also I guess it can apply to TV also.

I do listen to the TV more now than I watched it before going blind, but I hate the fact that I'm missing like 80% of the experience, so I only listen to game shows and the news to kill time.

I listen to some travel and cooking shows and italian tv.
Or "how stuff is made" or shows in history channel. Most of those work with all relevant bits in just audio.
Or some of the cartoons.

When i discovered audio described stuff, it was a shock to me that the facial expressions etc are described. Even worse, seeing a described version of one of my favorite movies, discovering a lot I had missed. Wouldn't it be great to have a person in the real life describe people's expressions and what things look like too?

Oh, I know. House of Cards used to be the worst for that! Thank goodness Netflix described it.

And your post is fine, text posts are always accessible to everyone.
