2. I forgot what channel the venom feeds were, they ARE on unfortunately

[deacon]

3. The best news I heard all week! :)))

Beware of bullshit withdrawel :)))

[maddezmom]

4. getting both here in the UK

on Sky :shrug:

[saltpoint]

5. Where I'm at at the moment CNN is running some sort of Flight 93

program or other.

Not sure exactly what's going on. A Larry King rerun maybe?

[orleans]

6. we have a few other channels out now

animal planet, and some other one that is running a movie (i think) called national security. HA!

maybe the cold is knocking some of the cable out--but i don't remember cnn going down.

[saltpoint]

12. I could probably do without cable news for awhile, especially if they'd

run a few episodes of ST. ELSEWHERE.

It's a bit dated, but a lot better than listening to Bush lie.

[orleans]

17. oohhhh, i LOVED st. elsewhere.

watched it every with (with my dad). after that i remember we moved onto l.a. law.

those were "bonding" moments when we shared tv shows--

(then i remember he'd go in his room and watch mcgyver--that was our great divide)

[saltpoint]

19. Ah yes. Good for you and your dad. Even the theme music was

great.

Now I'm really homesick for that show!

[orleans]

20. wow--just looked on amazon and they have a four tape set

starting at $199.

a little pricey there. but a great series.

[saltpoint]

23. Agreed -- pricey, but probably great to have on the shelf.

I liked the cast, the way the scriptwriters wrote for those characters, and the setting of the hospital as a kind of blue collar hospital.

For me it was almost entirely opposite from a show like DALLAS.

7. CNN Here, 2:09

Wouldn't touch FOX with your remote.

[upi402]

16. LOL

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[RagingInMiami]

8. I guess they have to reprogram the reporters some time

[orleans]

21. LOL! n/t

[lies and propaganda]

28. hahahah!

hysterical!

[SeattleGirl]

9. Just after midnight Seattle time, and CNN is on.

[orleans]

10. then i guess it's just comcast around here

i'd call my neighbors but i don't think they'd appreciate the two-in-the-morning phone call. ("hi, it's just me. did i wake you?" "uuuummmm" "is your cnn on?" "click")

[SeattleGirl]

11. Comcast is what we have too, and it can screw up at times.

Are you getting other channels?

[orleans]

15. yes, but from what i can tell four are out

including (gasp!) ANIMAL PLANET!!!

thanks okay. i've got nick at nite

and DU

i'm still happy.

(i just wanted to make sure someone didn't blow up cnn or fox--not that i give a crap about fox)

[skids]

13. Maybe this?

Power problems in the NorthEast affecting their signal distribution? Everything seems to be stable where
I am though.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. I can only dream that it's going to be for good. n/t

[stevedeshazer]

18. May they stay that way - FOREVER

That stuff just rots your brain. You're better off.

[orleans]

22. ahhhh....so maybe THAT'S my problem!

(i'd like to say "foxtrot" but i don't watch fox--i only checked to see if they were off when cnn was--being the fair and balanced person that i am.)

and all the stations are back on now.

so .....

[stevedeshazer]

27. Didn't mean to imply that you had a problem

My comment was not directed at you so much but a general comment on the state of the teevee media today.

I rot my own brain sometimes too, because I listen to Hannity and Limbaugh for the humor. Oh, wait...

:)

[orleans]

30. omg! hannity & limbaugh???

i flip them on (then flip them off--in more ways than one) in the car when air america goes on commercial.

i try to keep informed (for the duration of a commercial break) just to know what the enemy is saying--but i have to admit that most of the time it is intolerable and i end up turning them off faster than the two or three minute break.

[stevedeshazer]

33. I do the same

My job is driving. I flip them off, too.

[Vidar]

24. Hope it lasts

[Robeson]

25. Borg do have to regenerate.

[Pacifist Patriot]

26. Too bad your cable problems couldn't affect everyone else.

[hatrack]

29. A good start, I'd say . . .

But it probably won't last.

[Mutley]

31. I have Comcast, too...

and sometimes apparently random channels will be out. Who knows why?

[johnfunk]

32. Savor those small blessings life brongs you!

No Conservative News Network.

No FAUX "News" Charnel.

Enjoy the Internets -- without the corporate filters that affect cable (cue laugh track) "news." (Hahahahahaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!)
