What To Watch On Cable TV.............

[rsmith6621]

18 Months ago I had Comcast come and disconnect my Cable because ....

1....The Balance was getting to high and it was certian they were going to disconect it anyhow.

and

2....I was getting frustrated that Kerry's campaign speeches were not getting covered in full or interupruted during critisiscm of bush....I nearly threw a hammer at the box....


Well....Mr Cable Man is going to visit tommorow as I recently took care of the remaining $$ balance(which my way of protesting the bias cable programming)and my wife wants her FOOD NETWORK back.

Anyhow I am out of the loop as to what to watch as in the past 18 months I have grown a good foundation as a progressive liberal....Anyhow........What are some DU reccomendations?????

Thanks

1. Boondocks, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network

That's the best thing I know of to come out in the last few months.

Sunday nights, 11:00 EST with repeats later in the week.

2. Battlestar Galactica on SciFi

It is a very deep and complicated scifi/political drama. It shows themes about a society in deep crisis, espically the most recent episode. They only have two episodes left this season before repeats until July.

It is on SciFi on Fridays at 10pm ET/9pm CT.

9. My new Favs are both

Star Gates - SGI because of them bringing Ben Browder (Farscape) on board and Atlantis because the bad guys are really bad - kinda like the borg. I've missed too much of Battlestar to feel comfortable about watching it.

16. You can get it on DVD and catch up or use iTunes

and then watch it on your machine.

You are correct, you miss even one week and you miss alot.

3. The Daily Show and Colbert Report are musts.

LINK TV and FSTV (Free Speech TV) if they're in your line-up.
And Mythbusters because it's fun.

4. I have 3...

Countdown with Keith Olberman
The Daily Show with John Stewart
Real Time with Bill Maher

and as of late I've been getting into Lou Dobbs on CNN.

5. Comedy Central

for Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert - Spike TV for Star Trek and CSI - anything on the History Channel or National Geographic....

6. Keith Olberman - Countdown on MSNBC, of course.

10. This is the all encompassing list

Obviously, the daily show, colbert report, and keith olbermann.

In addition, if you have the station current, which is probably only on digital cable, check it out. aimed towards young people, but they have short mini-documentaries all day, and the shows are often viewer created, which is refreshing. typically, political documentaries lean to the left, but since they are often viewer created, that's not always the case. it's always really interesting though. i think it's channel 228 in minneapolis.

11. that damn Gore tv channel bumped my only news; ITV, BBC, CBC

Deutsch Welle, etc were all on one TV news channel on Comcast. It was far away from the usual cable news channels, but I always went to it. Then Al Gore had to go and have an idea. So I have no fucking idea what is on TV news now. I am boycotting.

There are a million cooking shows, however. We get that info- front, back, and sideways.

12. that's ironic.

read my post above yours. :-P

14. cool, I just have plenty of entertainment/gimmick shows on cable tv

I NEED REAL JOURNALISM!!!!!:argh:

[NYCGirl]

13. Well, damn NWI for putting their network up for sale at such a good price.

[upi402]

15. Gore could have bought it and kept it news

That'd be cool.:toast:

[NYCGirl]

17. Unfortunately, no one watched it when it was NWI. That's why it was for

sale at a bargain basement price. Gore and Joel Hyatt wanted to create a successful network. I think they are way ahead of everyone else.

18. But I'm in the new phone book!???

I'm somebodyx(

I hear ya. Who wants to see real news? Duh.... Dummy me.
That fancy TV show of his has some mighty trendy gadgets on it. Yessireee, he's leading the way yet again!

GADGETS! Yowza!
