Necessity is the Mother of Invention

Let me describe something that happened to me today that seemingly happens on most days.

I'm at home. Enjoying an episode of Beverly Hills 90210 on Soap Net. In this particular instance, the episode features the dramatic moment when Dylan and Kelly inform Brenda that they are going out, and even worse, they were fooling around during the summer while Brenda was in Paris.

There is no reason that they needed to tell Brenda about the summer thing. None! And yet Kelly insisted on it. Further backing my theory that the more you watch 90210, the more you realize that Kelly, not Valerie, is the true villain of the show.

But I digress. I'm not here to debate Kelly Taylor's inherent evilness. That's a blog for another day.

This is about something else. About halfway through the show, I had to go. I had a meeting (which I will post about soon). So just as Kelly is about to twist the knife into Brenda's back and front, I had to turn the TV off and get in my car.

As I push the button to start the car, the radio turns on. And I listen to...whatever is on the radio. Here's what I don't listen to: the ending to that 90210!

And the question is, why the hell not?

My TV should also be on my radio.

Now, here's what you dummies in the audience are thinking right now: "because you won't be able to see it".

Are you made up people really that stupid? Do you know how many times I've seen that episode of 90210? I don't have to see it. I just want to listen to it. Hell, between my laptop, Ipad, Iphone, Kindle Fire, that's all I was doing at home on my couch anyway.

And the same goes for Friends, Who's the Boss?, Seinfeld, and all of the other crap I "watch" on a daily basis. You're telling me you wouldn't enjoy listening to the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld in your car? Of course you would.

Your TV should also be your radio. There should be no difference. No one is looking at the TV anymore. It's simple, and it's obvious, and it must be done.

And yet...my buddy Jamathew claims that he was talking to a bigwig who actually might have the power to do something like this, and the guy said it was a stupid idea. What?! He's stupid! Or else he hates money. Cause this is a million dollar idea.

Can any of you out there give me one good reason why this isn't a thing? And if not, do you have the number for the Shark Tank?
