I agree, but not for the same reasons. See, I watch TV for one reason only: saturday and sunday morning cartoons. But now, it seems that the big move is for all the cartoons on basic cable to be replaced with pure junk like informercials and stupid teen dramas. This is bad for someone like me, who only has basic cable. I can't watch Batman, I can't watch Clone Wars, and now I can't watch Spiderman. All I really have left is Ninja Turtles and Chaotic, and I usually only watch the latter for the pretty graphics and battles. >_>

 

Ah well, at least they're putting all the cartoons online now. Still, watching them on a computer screen in a home with four other family members is not nearly as enjoyable as watching it in the family room alone.

Don't come to my country...

 

All of the local channels, ehh...

They really grosses me out.

 

I don't even speak the native language at home! Not one single channel is in English.

 

Good thing we have cable.

I have not watched television in two years.

 

It all sucks.

Not true, Smeag.

 

MST3K doesn't suck.

From what I've seen and heard, Television was better when they had programs of people like Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Glenn Miller, and the like.

 

Though The History Channel can be pretty good. I also like Spongebob.

Yeah but it's not on the air anymore.

Yeah but it's not on the air anymore.

Therefore basic television sucks?

Exactly!

I gave up on TV quite some time ago. Really the only things I watch now are Spectacle on Sundance, and the office, but even the Office has really gone down hill. I recommend reading.

I am pleased with the overwhelming lack of TV love.

 

As for Mystery Science, they blew 1.5 seconds after Joel left.

 

LUCKILY, Joel, the Dr. and Frank all got together again to do live shows called like "Cinema Titanica" or something. I have'em... just haven't gotten around to watching them yet.

 

As for Mystery Science, they blew 1.5 seconds after Joel left.

The first season or two after Joel left weren't too good--I guess Mike just wasn't comfortable in front of the camera yet, or just hadn't gotten a handle on his character yet, or what, but it was very sub-par at first.

 

However, it ended up getting much, much better. Once he got more comfortable or whatever, Mike ended being just as good a host as Joel, I think, if not better--his style was different than Joel's (more snarky and adult rather than childlike and innocent), but equally funny. Some of my favourite episodes are Mike ones--The Final Sacrifice, Space Mutiny, Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, Invasion of the Neptune Men...

 

Go grab the sci-fi era seasons from your webnet crawler pirate thingies; you might end up being very pleasantly surprised.
