A lot of the shows I really enjoy get cancelled because you actually have to use your brain when you are watching (what a concept!).  I really miss Terriers.  I loved that show, and it only lasted one season, yet you have motherf*cking idiotic shows like Big Brother and the Bachelorette still going strong. 

I really hope (but doubt it will happen) that someday we can pick and choose the channels we want, and leave out all the fluff bullsh*t. 

Peace by persuasion has a pleasant sound, but I think we should not be able to work it. We should have to tame the human race first, and history seems to show that that cannot be done.

I think that's what they're trying to do with 'net streaming'/'shows on demand' (but they'll find some way to eff that up too.)  I'm starting to tape whatever it is I usually watch, and go through it later.  Cuts the ads out, and I can see the show in about half the time....

Oh what a cruel world...and the irony is that I feel like the only youth that hates this commercial gahbage. Every other teenager/little kid eats this bull for breakfast.

Welcome to the good fight, young one.  Strap in, because the battle against idiocy is a lifelong campaign.

I don’t know about your area, but here around Portland, Maine, the local channels seem to be less laden with commercials than the nonlocal Dish Network channels we gotta pay extra for, such as MSNBC and HGTV. Anyone else notice that in your area?

I honestly don't watch TV anymore either--but I am starting to watch Adventure Time again because of this song:


Yes, I am a supporter of Bubbleline, and this just made my day. Also, Regular Show is starting to bug me now--maybe it's their ramming 80's music in the show to attract oldsters, when Gumball does it better?
