If that’s all she can learn, she’s not trying very hard, or Sergio is keeping costs down with an aerial. She should try Beyond the Wormhole.

Edward R. Murrow said that in the early 60s. Why should it have changed.

I have 125 channels and nothing to watch.

Somebody is watching that drek or it wouldn’t be there – sponsors wouldn’t sponsor something if it didn’t have viewers. Which is disheartening and terrifying.

I see.

There’s only a few shows on regular cable and network tv that are any good, like New Girl or The Americans, otherwise it’s all the original programming on the “pay stations” HBO Showtime, that keeps me interested. Smarter scripts, flawed (real) characters, really good actors (not bad actors on “reality” shows). Netflix and amazon prime have some really good original shows as well, again, really good scripts and really good actors. Cable channels have become scripted reality shows with no reality but old sitcom scenarios. Something that still bothers me, what does wrestling have to do with Science Fiction? Deadliest catch was supposed to teach people why their seafood was so expensive, and to appreciate that people risked and lost their lives for it, not wonder what the “real” housewives in some city were “really” like. I don’t think there are really that many viewers, in the grand scheme of things, for the drek.

Your a waste of time,Gracie.

@Melikalikimaka“Something that still bothers me, what does wrestling have to do with Science Fiction? "

Per something I read from a professional wrestler or wrestling promoter some years back, it’s the same “good vs evil” storyline.

Yeah. Me, too. Several of us guys, one night plus a few beers, took turns calling the sponsor ( a local car dealer ) to complain about how phoney wrestling had become. Of course, it didn’t stop the “show”.

And that’s why she gets all As.

must be in the rerun season

Somewhere around the time that then-FCC commissioner Newton Minow was calling TV a “vast wasteland,” someone else cracked that “medium” was the perfect term for TV, because it was so rare that it was well done.
