Television
Speaking for me, I know Drew from her debut in ET in going to the drive-in theatre with my Dad to watch the movie. Drew is 47, and I am 49.
A Bit of Personal Perspective
I stopped watching television back in 2009 as I couldn't afford the cable bill. Years later, we jumped onto Netflix and streamed going forward.
Daniel and I went back to regular television in 2018-2021, but I got sucked into the 24-7 news cycle and did not watch anything else, ruining my life. I was addicted so deeply that I wasn't functioning properly. I found myself putting up guard rails on things I have no business behaving with fear.
I was starting to mentally decline into a state of fear and worrying about things I had no control over. I was growing fear of travel, going out in public and much more. I went to see my doctor over it. I was a mess. Cutting the cable was the answer, and stick to the streaming where I am not glued to the day-by-day political games treating our society like a sports arena game luring me into a sickness.
From the snippets I have seen, Drew has challenges others, like me, will never have. Living in the public view. I cannot imagine the stress of it. It's not a life I wanted for myself. In a way, I feel bad for never having watched her show, but on the other side of the spectrum, I couldn't emotionally stay connected to a TV for life balance. It's a double-edged sword.

HUGS! I quit watching TV about 2010 maybe. Part of it was the high cable bill, but add that to commercials! Grrrr! I have been streaming ever since. No commercials! Add to that, from what little I can see, new programming seems to be becoming remakes of the old stuff. Seems the younger generation has no imagination or something. If I am going to watch the older shows, I will watch them with the older actors. ;D I do subscribe to Paramount Plus so get some of the newer shows. Gotta keep up with what Gibbs is doing on NCIS. And well Picard! But again, no commercials! But mostly, Amazon Prime is good for me.
