This never happens.

I have a gazillion options for my viewing pleasure.  
Rarely do I find something fresh.  
Don’t get me wrong I have DVRd lots of stuff.  
Heck I still own a working VCR. Plus DVD players and countless tapes and discs.

Today PBS is playing a marathon of Poldark, love me some period drama.  
But…MeTV has a Gilligan’s Island marathon.

What will I do in such a dilemma?

You are gonna say I’m genius.  
But you’d be wrong.  
I got the TV to do split screen.  
Big big big mistake.

I think my brain is gonna explode.🤯

You’ll start crossing dialog in your mind:

“Demelza, drop those coconuts!”  
“Lo, Mary Ann, I do not care that you are but a servant, I have fallen in love with you.”
