Cable wars

Post by The Yosemite Bear »

Since a few of you know Up here in my outpost of the Wilderness, we can't tune in Broadcast TV (This is how I have missed 90% of Voyager, until a two years ago) Now thats when the powers that be got us statillite cable. So right now I have a small stable of channels that I tune to: The History Channel, Sci-Fi, The 12 Channels of Max & Showtime (B Movies and Soft Core Porn), Cartoon Network (It's called Adult swim), and the occassional PPV.

So what do you who have experience with Cable think is the most entertaining thing on cable.

Yes, I now admit that I am a wierd High/Lowbrow Hybrid, but Dalton and Marina already know that.

When it comes to TV, I pretty much only watch Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, or the History Channel. All three of them have a lot of great stuff, and some real crappy stuff, so between the three of them, you're usually able to find something good on.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

As fa as I am concerned, the only thing good on cable is the internet access I can get. And maybe the History Channel and Discovery Wings.

TV sucks. shows with commercial breaks which wouldnt be good without these breaks either. a vcr, a playstation and internet access are a far better option.

thank you very much, good night!
