    You guys haven't realized yet that you've been conned into watching a soap opera?

    This may be true, but it's my kind of soap opera.

    Hell, I feel like I've earned the right to sit down with Costner and have a cold Banquet Beer (maybe @CFetters_Nacho_Lover too) based on how much time he's been spending on MY ranch.

    Story time. Women entering the workforce in droves in the 70's changed America dramatically.

    One thing that changed in the window before VCRs were widely used and cable expanded to where there was a Soap Network was that daytime soaps lost massive audience. The solution was nighttime soaps. The bonus was that men like soaps too. Put in enough sex and violence and mix with oil or cattle and you had a show that the whole family watched.

    Dallas and Dynasty led the way.

    Grocery stores usually closed by 6 or 7 at night because mom could shop during the day. Of course not everyone was a 2 parental unit nuclear family but the world was set for that and not much else

    7-11 literally meant we are open from 7AM to 11PM which was radical at the time. I recall buying a pack of smokes on Christmas Day at a 7-11 in 1974 and marveling at it. You paid a premium for it

    Blue laws wouldn't let stores open on Sunday or sell beer if they did

    Fast food blew up as getting a bucket of Colonel Sanders on the way home from work was easy

    By 1980 the template for the modern world was in place. It would take two incomes to stay even with one income previously. Convenience and have it your way now was in. Restrictions were out.

    Yellowstone has plenty of good killing. Could use more naked boobies but oh well.

    I remember being a kid, had to be 78 or 79, and the Friday night lineup was The Incredible Hulk, followed by The Dukes of Hazzard and then Dallas. I was like 7 and this three hours was the best shit ever. Remember you millennial turds we had like 4 channels. That lineup was straight fire.

    You can record this show for free if you have YouTube TV. Might have to wait for the episodes to be added so that you can get them in chronological order, though. Conveniently, I think Season 1 is the only that has not yet had any recordings completed for me to start.

    DirecTV has the paramount network They do a Yellowstone marathon every couple of months. All part of the package

    Now that every show or network that I like has their own premium app sticking with DTV wasn't such a bad idea

    HBO Max is included too, On demand

    The price has equalized which is what I thought would happen once enough cords got cut

    Last December, I walked by an outdoor steakhouse in Santa Monica and saw Coster having some kind of meeting with a couple of guys. CSB.

    Started it a month ago. It is a decent show but something about it just doesn't pull me in like everyone who recommended it. Never really been into the whole Ranch/Cowboy thing. Good enough to keep going/finish though unless it falls off a cliff.
