The Public Opinion Soapbox

When I am looking for something "On Demand" to watch on my cable, I will put just about anything on to avoid the promo for Bobby's World.

I think the Little Roseanne Bar cartoon was terrible as well.

Ew. or the little louis anderson cartoon?

I'm currently watching Cheaters tivo'd off G4. A guilty pleasure...I feel kinda dirty. G4 just does that for me.

Well that is quite a list... and I definitely haven't seen a lot of those, although I think those last few are Discover Home shows (and Holmes does not mess around when it comes to Homes. Contractors beware!).

I think you have more channels than me... not fair!

Those channels are the reason I have DirecTv and not Dish Network. Any package that gives you HGTV and Faux News Network but makes you upgrade for MSNBC and DIY...it just didn't seem fair to me to have to pay extra for channels with similar, if better, content.

It is rare that I watch the basic channels (don't get me wrong, I love my Law & Order and L&O Criminal Intent, but USA showed the new episodes of CI first and it's not like I can't wait. Pushing Daisies was rather addictive, but who is to say if it will be able to hold out?And if it does, there will be DVDs.)

I understand that we will never have the opportunity to pick and choose channels singly, but there has to be a better way! How much credit do I get for giving up basic channels? Oh and the speed network! They can have that one too! And WE, please take WE and Lifetime! Confused

Profit, was on my shortlist to buy the few episodes that aired before it was cancelled. I think it didn't do well because it was one of the first shows, that I remember, where a 'bad guy' was the star. Pasdar's portryal was spot on. Definitely worth checking out.

Oh and John Pinette did a stand-up show, they sell the dvd at Target, I'm still debating buying it tho' I keep hoping for a dvd recorder, but H. isn't offering input and I don't know enough about them.

Hold on... Dish gives you Fox "News" and HGTV, but not MSNBC or DIY?

W........ TF?

Speaking of Law & Order, I kind of go through phases with the various shows. I'm pretty sure my favorite is Criminal Intent, but only if Goren and Eames are on the case. Mr. Big just doesn't make a good detective show in my opinion.

If your want to "copy" DVD's, you can do so with your home computer, if it has a built in DVD re-writable drive.

Hmmm...I think Cop Rock was not given enough time.

Cop Rock: SVU
Cop Rock: Miami
Cop Rock: The non-musical

Yeah, I missed out on the Cop Rock thing. I have a void now.

I was watching (without sound) an episode of that weight loss reality show the other day while huffing away on an elliptical at the gym, and I thought:

There's something very, very wrong with all of us.

I am looking forward to the return of Dr. Who, whenever that may be.
