Good, clean American fun, the game just seems to compliment the holiday perfectly. With a big meal around midday, lounging around, kicking one's feet up, and enjoying a nice cold beer before taking that coveted afternoon nap is the absolute perfect compliment. Is there anyone who could disagree? Apparently, there is! It has been discovered by people who get paid to do this kind of research that not everybody is tuning into football on Thanksgiving these days. Although it is still one of the biggest days for watching sports of the year, it would seem that people out there want options. Most houses have more than one television, and more than one group of viewers who want to see something new and exciting that doesn't involve tackles and touchdowns. How have television execs solved the problem? With feel-good, all-around acceptable programming in the form of musical favorites, that's how! It would seem that music has become the logical ying to the yang of football watching and this year there are more options on than ever!
Of course, anyone with satellite TV knows that there is always a selection of alternative programming on ranging from movie specials to regularly scheduled services. It can be nice to kick back and enjoy a nice feature film, or even treat the kids to a new release pay per view movie. Some people even like to spend the weekend with an 'on demand' marathon of their favorite Showtime and HBO programs. The issue can be, however, when everyone is gathered around from grandma to the youngest niece and nephews, what bridges the interest and generation gap? Music, in fact, can do that, making it a logical holiday choice. This year, for example, HBO is expecting to have big success with its 25th Anniversary Concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With four hours of 'recorded live' musical entertainment it should be a show to remember. That's not the only thing that will be rocking out in high definition, however. There will be performances from Paul McCartney, Sting, Radio City Music Hall, Sinatra, Beyonce, Springsteen, Jagger, and Dylan too. With those kinds of big names, who really needs college football anyway?
Of course, many, many viewers will still need football to get their fill, meaning that those stations showing the big games have nothing to worry about. By and large the programming is not conflicting, making it easy for viewers to segue from one into the other. If all goes to plan, those watching television as a way of relaxing over holiday weekends and on the big days themselves when all the festivities start to die down could possibly start to see other holidays following suit. Less and less people are travelling for the holidays with gas prices up and the economy still slumping, which means that more and more will be looking for great at home entertainment. It makes a satellite TV subscription sound more and more like an attractive option for a holiday gift, doesn't it?
