    There's even a "lifetime movie network", appropriately named, because it takes a LIFETIME to watch each movie!!!!!! Five minutes of movie, four minutes of commercial, three minutes of movie, seven minutes of commercial, six minutes of movie....."

      Come to think of it, it's kinda like FOOTBALL!!!! With only 2 minutes of game remaining, you have to watch another THIRTY MINUTES to see the END!

        No wonder lao tzu is so smart--he doesn't own a TV! I once lived for a couple of years and other times for months at a time without a TV. Never missed it, and that was before the Intertubes too. Now I try to get interested in one or two series but there's nothing really good on. I will occasionally watch a movie if it grabs my interest.

          And every movie a variation of the same theme: some man done some woman wrong.

            Yeah, they base way too many of those on your exploits...

              It's kinda like my wife and I got into watching Matlock reruns....

              EVERY Episode, the person who will eventually be found not guilty enters a room where a murder just happened, and foolishly bends over the body and picks up the murder weapon just in time for the police to come and catch him/her at the scene of the crime.

                That's one I never have understood - why pick up the weapon? The person to see if they are alive, the phone to call for help but why the weapon?

                  It's in the script!

                      Or the lady who shoots the attacker dead, then sits down and turns her back on him, and he's NOT DEAD!!!! What woman in her right mind () is going to sit there in close proximity to her attacker with her BACK turned to him?

                        I am glad that there is someone else here who is television free, and knows as little as I do about what is on.

                            They've been going downhill in quality for a long time now. Only 2, maybe 3 shows out of their entire line-up are even worth watching at all right now.

                                They should fire whoever is in charge right now, and get somebody who actually knows what a good cartoon is. Oh, and if they are going to keep having live action stuff show up there, then they should go ahead and bring over Code Lyoko Evolution. Maybe bring back Generator Rex, and change the animation style of the Ben 10 series back to what it was originally.
