laugh tracks make me feel weird and unhappy.

Aww, I'm touched! :) Sopranos is good stuff, but not worth the investment in pay channels, for me. I'm just glad Stargate SG-1 moved from Showtime to Sci-Fi channel, or else I'd be hurtin'. As for people bitching about how bad TV is, whenever I hear someone doing that, they're usually talking about some show that's truly abysmal. Well, yeah, there's always going to be bad tv shows, just as there are always going to be bad movies, bad books, bad plays, bad music, and bad art. Condemning the entire thing based on its worst examples doesn't seem too logical to me, but hey, we DO live in the land of President Bush (shudder), so clearly there's a serious lack of logic to be had in this country. I combine my web-surfing with with tv time (I can see the tv from my computer chair), so it's easy to have CNN or something on when I'm surfin' da net. Now I just need an IV drip. :) I also wonder how much TV ratings are going to suffer when so many entire series are on DVD. MASH is out or coming out, and lots of other cable standbys. I know I'd love to have all of MASH on DVD, Stargate SG-1, and all the other stuff I'm willing to watch over and over. Wow, how strange - after you preview a comment, it pokes HTML tags in the text field. Tres bizarre... Am I really your _dearest_ contrarian? Aww, I’m touched! :)
