If you’re older than 20, you’ll remember the times when tv shows used to have a special magic. They could bring families together, huddled in the living room watching a gripping story. Times have changed where you can watch any show you want online. But that’s the thing about the good ol’ days of tv, the shows had a set time and that was it. No rewinding, no getting to hear what somebody said a second time, it was a moment when there was silence in the home. Everyone’s eyes were glued onto the screen. When they show ended you were sat beside each other talking about what you just saw. Differences in opinion and debates were had. Nowadays, you can watch whatever you want, how you want and when you want. So there’s no real reason to get together. Or is there? Something that cannot be beaten is the atmosphere of different people all liking the same thing, being in one place at the same time. Shere quality tends to make people stay, so how could you do this in your home?
Make a thing of it
Dinners are to be eaten at the dining table as a Family. It’s normal now to have family members eating and snacking in their own rooms and all around the home. We all live such busy lives that sometimes formalities have to give way to convenience. However making some great hot snack food, can be eaten sitting or standing. Food like Chinese-inspired spring rolls, buffalo chicken wings, mini quiches, small sausage rolls, French fries, meatballs, and mozzarella, can all be eaten in smaller plates that fit in your lap. These foods are packed full of flavor, but they don’t make a mess. The whole family can huddle up and enjoy eating some hot warming food, while sat on the sofa.
Quality matters
Why on earth would members of your family gather in one place to watch great shows? The kids especially want to be online and chat with their friends while playing games, so what could make them come downstairs and watch something as a family? A quality smart home cinema with a full-sized screen and Hi-Def projector or supersized 4K TV a DVD and Blu-Ray player is definitely going to get them jumping over the moon. Shows like Game of Thrones will look and sound absolutely fantastic and pretty much the best they can anywhere. You’re literally bringing the cinema home to them. The great thing is, any new movies that come out can be watched at home as well. So rather than getting dressed to go out to a blockbuster cinema, the whole family comes together to watch a premier in your own home. You may want to think about seating next, as you don’t want people to be too cramped. Summer weather is not very comfortable when you’re so close to each other.
Food always brings people together, it’s like a failsafe that will never let you down. To accompany that food and getting the family together, a sublime modern home media system is going to make your kids want to get off their computers and go downstairs.
What do you think about the television shows of today? Do you sit around with the whole family? Is there a lesson to be taught throughout the shows you watch as a family?
