Oh, God... I'm addicted to old westerns on.....................Hallmark!
Given my war with comcast, I cut the cable back to beyond the lowest level of basic (network, and a couple of stupid infomercial channels, basically, along with TVLand and the Hallmark network). The hope, of course, was to lose my addiction to Cable punditry and perhaps to tv in general.

Now, I think they've been beaming me with wacko waves, or put something in my water, because I'm now addicted to westerns on the Hallmark channel. I'm watching almost every old western they made, including not only Gunsmoke and Bonanza that I grew up with throughout childhood, but Rawhide, the Virginian, High Chaparelle, and any all all old Clint Eastwood movies, interspersed during the week with old Waltons or Little House on the Prairie.

I hardly wanted to watch any of this the first time they were on. What on earth is wrong with me? AGGGHHHH.

Well, at least I'm not watching Faux or Hardball, I suppose!... Oh, no, Saturday is a Clint Eastwood Rawhide & movie marathon! HELP!!!!!!!!!!! Could I have had a frontal lobotomy and not known it?

1. I miss that channel!
I am missing my M*A*S*H reruns! (I don't get FX either). They also showed lots of classic miniseries. Too many ads, and it is cheesy that Hallmark even HAS a channel, but I miss it anyway! My cable down here does not carry it.
