wish this was funny.

“The Flying Moslem?” And no one rioted? Wow!

@duke, I dont remember this strip at all either

seth did a skit with sally field for this year’s oscars. the oscars this year where everyone was offended.

This is ironic (and obviously old) with a computer asking the “blessings” from a TV set.

I’m not quite sure how the TV got to be the Great and Exalted One. That sure was back in the day.

Yeah, we have about 180 channels including Showtime and HBO and I still can’t find anything to watch that piques my interest. We have HBO because of the great series they run. Boardwalk, etal. There must be twenty, thirty channels devoted solely to selling you something. Then another ten or twenty about cooking.

Being a baby-boomer, I was delighted when I learned of the channel known as “MeTV” … it runs great shows from the Fifties, Sixties, an’ some from the Seventies – shows like Perry Mason, the original Hawaii Five-0, Star Trek, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, M*A*S*H, Route 66, Odd Couple, and some great westerns like Wild, Wild West, Bonanza, and Gunsmoke…. It broadcasts shows that were made when broadcast TV had something to offer. Nowadays, it seems when a show worth watching does make it to the airwaves, it gets cancelled…

God is answering, but the asker is not listening.

Now you get 24 minutes of commercials in an hour on just about everythinhg on TV. I checked it out!

In the mid-sixties, playing with a stopwatch, I timed the commercials on network TV on a Friday evening, 7:30 to 11:00. The total was about 22 minutes. This can be confirmed with a internet search. Makes you wonder what part of the show you’re missing when you watch an old rerun with the modern dose of commercials.

Then: computer worships TV, offers sacrifices; TV makes bad jokes.Now: TV is dying; computer is new supreme thing. Computer-commentators make bad jokes.

Mustn’t let the toaster know I get Netflix…

Diet Mt Dew has been around that long?
