I stopped watching ABC a while back, for that very reason. Their programming makes me sick (as does most programming on all channels these days).

Disturbing...

Can we verify this Shiz?

Shizamus · 09-13-2003, 12:48 AM

It is an Email I received.

Maybe you can give him a call.

I stopped watching all the networks, but expecially ABC, several years ago.

Besides Fox News and the History Channel, only Bugs Bunnie catches any of my time! Call me shallow but I don't want any of the tripe they think is entertainment. With that kind, count me OUT.

I like the phrase that Fox coined, "Fair & Balanced."

What I keep in mind, it's entertainment and "whatever", is subject to change.

NuclearMeltdown · 09-15-2003, 07:57 PM

I watch...

The History Channel, the Weather Channel, and Fox News...

I can't watch Bugs Bunny because those cartoons aren't on any of the channels we get here anymore. I refuse to watch any cartoon except for Looney Tunes though.

Despite having 45 channels, I could do without about 41 of them. In fact, I could probably be happy without a TV at all. I do like the radio though for my classic rock.

kind of off subject so I'm done.

My TV watching is "Andromeda" on Saturdays, here. As for the rest of it: that which doesn't sicken me, just doesn't interest me. Can't get cable without spending about $90,000 for the incoming line, and satellite at $45 per month forever doesn't particularly make my heart flutter, either. FirstInLine watches "Jeopardy" and "Antiques RoadShow."

Ttttthat's all Fffffffolks.
