I had over 70 channels -the break down was 15 pd commercials/shopping--13 Reality crap--5 Religion --7 Sports.=40 channels of nothing.I had cable cut back to 25 channels.I'm afraid our generation are the last to appreciate TV with story lines -plots and intelligent writers So I watch old re-runs over and over again.

It is sad that what used to be good channels, like History, TLC, and Discovery, have all jumped on the "reality" bandwagon.

This is so true, everything is a reality show these days. No wonder my brother watches TVland or whatever channel that is that shows reruns of Andy Griffith and MASH.

We have 250 channels on DISH. On the 25th we finally get cable to our house......yippie!!
A few less channels and better internet. And to top that off we will be saving $$$

Satillite = $105.00 (more if we order pay perview)
DSL = $49.00

our bill will go down to :
Cable + Internet = $89.00 (for the first 6 months then it's 108.00)

I'd say your recovered. after all you took the quick cure, coming back on line to us here. LOL. welcome back.

I can see why Snooki would lower your IQ, but Honey Boo Boo will make you IQless. I told hubby this morning that it's a waste of money to pay for satellite. On the rare occasion that I do watch tv, there's nothing but garbage on it. How sad.

My husband thinks the shows like honey boo boo, swamp loggers, etc are the media's attempt at making people in "fly-over country" appear really stupid to the rest of the country. And the rest of the world, too, I guess, because they're watching also! It makes me mad because the idiots on those reality shows are NOT representative of the general population.

TV... the more you watch these days, the more your brain is likely to melt into a gray goo and drain out your ears! We have a reality show done right here in Hay River and Yellowknife. Its been around for a few years and has run its course, IMHO. It was a bit much to see "Mikey's Hot Sauce" done up and for sale at the grocery store. "Mikey" is best know for drinking and passing out on film. Enough said.
I need to say the dumming down of all of us by TV and this new reality show stuff, around the world is sad. Thankfully, here in Canada we have the CBC and some of its programs are usually good. I do enjoy PBS, and other things like the National Geographic and history.
Otherwise it the oldies, CSI, Bones, Law and Order,
and then there is space channel, cooking shows, military channel that the DH watches. Sigh...As to that I need to say the following...Chris Rock says " Were only one CSI away from committing murder"
LMFAO, Dixie

We cut our satellite subscription a few years ago....only thing worthwhile on it was live sport. We both prefer the internet, and only watch TV for news, documentaries and the handful of programmes that are worthwhile....We both love foreign films and a lot of English crime series.

I just realized this morning that the only time I turn the TV on now is for the news(we have a great local news team). Other than that, it's Netflix on the computer. But I suppose that will change when NCIS returns. Love me my Gibbs & company.
