Garfield by Jim Davis for October 25, 2010

Bad experiences with exes, Jon?

Jon sure scares easy.

Jon’s flashbacks of the chafing dish “incident” surface at the oddest times!

Me too, Garfield

Now we have 105 channels with nothing to watch

legaleagle48….

Does Jon have exes? I thought all his dates, before Liz, lasted less than ten minutes.

waschere, agree.

Here a riddle: Cut the cable (or drop the dish) and you’ll be free again. Figure it out.

What’s a chaffing dish?

I’m with Garfield on this one.

according to wiki A chafing-dish (from the Old French chauffer, “to make warm”) is a kind of portable grate (“a dish of Coles”) raised on a tripod, originally heated with charcoal in a brazier, and used for foods that require gentle cooking, away from the fierce heat of direct flames. who knew

With the mandating of digital TV, it’s not that easy any more. (at lest not for us)

\\//_

JON calm down…….(he always become bald…)

Garfield was alive during the days of three channels?!

Sure. Nine lives, remember?

I remember 3 channels !

Ten minutes with Jon can probably go a very long way with some. Halloween would be a great time to return some of the same!

I really wish the cable/satellite companies would go “ala carte,” so we only got (and paid for) what we WANTED.

I have a little over 60 channels I get from my cable company, and they now all act like network tv, for every hour show they show 20 minutes of commercials

Close taker48. It’s actually 16 minutes. All of the one hour shows we DVR are 44 minutes long. Ain’t technology wonderful?

When people can not find anything to watch they turn their TV’s to channel 3 and play video games…

Rise22 …. ditto. I would prefer to only pay for just the HD channels, but to do so requires paying for the basic channels first, and then the premium channels, before you can get the HD channels. What a rip-off ! Plus, getting internet and IP phone bundled in helps to a degree in keeping cost down, but I am seriously considering disconnecting entirely except for internet. Just to see what channels I can get on just an antenna …. Sigh !

Back in the early 60s when I was finishing up at Ohio State, I worked summers at one of the only three TV stations. The slogan was

This is WLW-C, first in Columbus channel 3 A television service of the nation’s station The Crosley Broadcasting Corpioration.

Anyone else go back that far?

AND my measuring cup!

I agree, Rise22! I’m not subscribing until they do, either. (Haven’t ever had it for that reason. Between a DVD player and high-speed internet, I can watch what I really want and need without paying for cable or satellite TV.)

I remember getting our first TV and only having one station. That didn’t last long, but for a while, they carried selections from each network, including Dumont.

Grew up on Huntley-Brinkley NBC programming early 1960’s ..Also had Cronkite on CBS… didn’t get ABC until about 1966…(Yuma ,AZ)

PBS came in 1972 on cable…now…I shall turn the boobtube off and read a book..

UBUBOBU,

I worked for KVOA-TV NBC CH.4 in Tucson, Ariz. for a few months in 1965. Does that count?

Looks like a scary week! MWAH HA HA HA HAAA!!!!

Oh so hilarious.

Does john wear a wig?
