I like your transistor radio plan. Sounds good to me.

Re: Re: NWMWG

That it is. It makes a 90 minute movie go on for 180 minutes!!

Re: NWMWG

But if TBS is televising a movie you haven't seen yet...it may not be worth seeing anyway.  It's hard to believe they could find sponsers for this stuff to run five minutes in commercials, isn't it??

I too remember when there were only a few channels. Sometimes TBS will show a movie that I have not seen for some time. I tune in, sit back and watch 5 minutes of the show, followed by 5 minutes of commercials (I timed them). Thank goodness for the ability to pause live TV, that way I can fast forward through them.

It still boils down to 200 channels of sh*t to choose from and nothing to watch.

Re: thanks sam

it is tough to swallow when you realize you are paying for 2 or 300 channels of what amounts to static

Re: Saturdays on the Sci Fi Channel are as you describe, but the other nights

Maybe you are right.  I never tried Battlestar Gallactica or Eureka.  I don't think I have Ovation on my cable..a channel I don't have??..how will I get to sleep tonight.

Re: Dear Gold Dust

Does that mean if I stop watching TV I might actually get a life...the thought had never occured to me.  Seriously, it goes back to the way I was raised, I guess.  The television was just always on.

 Channel 9 here aired Million Dollar Movie with the usual 31 movies that they leased from the studios in those days. BCA, Bill*s Cae

are not. Battlestar Gallactica and Eureka both have some original stuff in them, then there are the middle-of-the-night gems on Ovation, and Bravo. Come on! Dig a little more!

I don't have a TV in my appartment already for more than 6 years... Do I miss it? NO... I'm not against it, it's not like I couldn't watch it, but there just are so many other more exciting things...

I'm lucky if I watch......

10% of the channels I have......but with packaging you sometime have no choice to get a specific channel you want.....I favor being able to pick what channels I want......personalized programing!

Re: I'm with ya. We have basic cable, so we have a lot of channels,

Whatever you do, don't even think about trying the Game Show Network or Sci-Fi.  It will be time you can never get back!!

Re: I don't blame you..

for reading, as opposed to watching the garbage on TV now.  I should read more, in addition to the blogs I read.

I'm with ya. We have basic cable, so we have a lot of channels,
