- Peeve: My 27" Magnavox every_feature_known_to_man_or_technician_5_years_ago
- television seems to have packed it in.
-
- But that's not what bugs me. What bugs me is noticing, when I don't have
- a TV to turn to, how often I *want* to. DAMN! I'm a bleedin' vidiot!
- Since my layoff on the first of the year, I've probably watched two hunnerd
- friggin hours of CNN and become a _news_ junkie.
-
- For years, the TV was great - I'd watch "the Next Generation" with the
- stereo rigged in for surround sound, and occasionally check out the
- Playboy Channel, and maybe watch Letterman at midnight.
-
- Then, too many hours at home and it probably took me a week to get
- sucked into the habit. And that's prolly why it blew now, too.
- 64 cable channels, and it's still a wasteland.
-
-
- !Peeve: never broke down to watching "soap opera"
-
- Oh well, still gotta get it fixed, maybe I can kick the habit while it's in
- the shop. I can tape Star Trek and watch it on my roommate's, later.
-
- RelatedPeeve: Letterman's gonna move to an earlier timeslot. I once recorded
- a couple of shows and watched 'em in the evening. That shit's *only* funny
- to a brain that's stayed up past midnight. It's great then, but I doubt
- it will translate.
