I’m ok with subtitles.

Most times they are not needed but, when they are needed, it sure beats asking my wife “what did they say”?

She does not like me doing that!

Is it just me or do the actors on many tv shows mumble their lines nowadays? With the ever-present background music it can be hard to make out dialog at times. News, documentaries, etc. aren't a problem.

Sound mixing is a lost art.... or my hearing sucks. I suspect it's both

I agree with you. More mumbling than I recall as a younger man.

Also, that darn music played by kids nowadays!!!
