No skin off my nose; it simply means more time for me to work on my story. I refuse to watch that reality garbage. Farscape was literally the last TV show I was watching--my set has been off since they cancelled it. I get my news and weather off the net as it is, so TV isn't all that important anymore. Survivor? American Idol? There isn't enough alcohol in the world to make me watch those, sorry. It's not for lack of a good picture, either. I have a 36" Sony VEGA XBR TV, which is a 234 lb. paperweight now. They want to go to DTV and HDTV now...IMHO it's like putting perfume on a pig. I've got a whole stack of books that I've read and since forgotten; when I'm bored I pick one to reread.
The best bumper sticker I ever saw: "Fight prime time. Read a book."
