Basic Television Sucks


Spoony Bard

1,011 views

I am talking about Basic Cable junk.

 

USA channel is nothing but CSI and Law and Order and House. IT ALL SUCKS. Nothing is different on that channel 24/7.

 

Comedy Central keeps playing the same darn stand-up guys over and over. The guy with the puppets SUCK. Blue Collar SUCKS. Though the channel makes up with South Park, but I gotta wait until 10ish PM to watch it.

 

Cartoon Network sucks. Adult Swim sucks. I like Family Guy and Robot Chicken.

 

Nick needs to change a bit too. I love Spongebob, but honestly it is on all day. VARIETY PLEASE.

 

MTV. Not much to say here. It sucks for no longer living to its name. Same for VH1.

 

The only channel I really watch is FX and TBS. They never disappoint. And that should say something.

You hate Jeff Dunham, but you can tolerate Spongebob?

That is like comparing the Goosebump books with the Twilight books.

 

Obviously Goosebumps is better. :P

This is my favorite comment ever <3.

 

I dunno, I'm good with the consistency. Nothing I hate more than flipping through channels, especially when there's nothing on.

I get PBS, ABC and NBC.

 

NBC is all ET, news or Insider. Only good thing I watch on it is The Tonight Show.

 

ABC is drama, news or sports.

 

PBS is getting so fulla cruddy stuff that I can't watch it for very long.

 

Bottom line, I hate my rabbit ears and basic TV. That god it will end soon and we'll at least get some sort of digital soon.

NO antenna NO dish NO cable NO dvd player and NO TV.

 

Know what?

 

NEVER. BEEN. HAPPIER.

 

Just give me a big, giant monitor and hard drive on my comp with high speed connection and it's every show I've ever wanted to see when I want to see it.

 

NEVER. BEEN. HAPPIER.

 

If there's a show that's worth watching, people will be talking about it online or I'll bump into a funny gif of it.

 

Seriously, kill your TVs.

What is this, 10,000 B.C.?

We're talking caveman entertainment devices here, one step up from a chisel and a slab of rock. NO! WORSE than a chisel and a slab of rock!

 

 

NEVER. BEEN. HAPPIER.

I got my TV for NBC... to watch Chuck and Heroes on Mondays. Since NBC doesn't come in very well in Seattle ( :sarcastic: ) I've ended up watching Comedy Central and Cartoon Network more often. Most of it's trash anyway, so I turn it off (although Jon Stewart and Colbert are okay)

There is no good reason to bother with television. Just rent a bunch of DVDs of decent shows and watch what you want, when you want to, in order, without commercials, and probably with bonus features, if it's any good. Since all of the good shows were canceled years ago. Seriously.

 

But yeah, I get like, two and a half channels channels. The Crazy Televangelist channel and the Grainy Poor Reception Dr. Phil With The Radio Or Something In The Background Fading In And Out And Blending With The Program Channel, which counts as one and a half.

This is because I've an old television and never bothered to get like, an antenna nor a converter box to get digital television or whatever it is THE LAW requires these days.

You like Spongebob eh?

 

Do you like Patrick?

I love Patrick.

Who doesn't love Patrick.

 

Probably wouldn't watch the show if he wasn't on it.

You watch FX?

 

You watch Bernie Mac Show?

 

FX is even worse at times.

They play the exact same movie over and over again.

Or 3 movies with the same actor for an entire week.

 

It's annoying as heck.

HOW DARE YOU BASH HOUSE?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??!?!!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

It is overplayed extremely. If they stopped, maybe I wouldn't bash it.

Mad TV and Mind of Mencia suck. The stand-up comedians they have are occasionally funny.

New Mad TV sucks. But yeah Mencia sucks too.

 

And true dat for the comedians.

You watch FX?

 

You watch Bernie Mac Show?

I used to when it was on Fox.

FX is even worse at times.

Yeah too many comic movies all the time.

USA: NCIS. ;) And House is awesome. It's just after watching it so much that it gets old, so yeah...

 

CC: Jeff and Blue Collar are pretty funny. It's just when they're played OVER AND OVER that it gets annoying.

 

CN: Yeah, it does pretty much suck now.

 

Nick: "Played over and over blah blah blah."

 

MTV/VH1: I don't watch them because the shows on them... Yeah. WHO CARES?? I don't wanna watch a show about some stuck up rich girl and her birthday.

 

So it seems to me that the problem is that networks find something people like, then just show them over and over and over and over and over and over... Variety is what they desperately need.
