How many are HERE that would be watchin'TV now if not for RR coverage?

[SoFlaJet]

me...I'm sorta boycotting CNNBCABCMSNBC and all the other letters since Sunday and until next week it'll be safe I think

[Racenut20]

1. Yep

[livetohike]

2. Same here - not even local news

on the TV or radio. I just can't take it :mad:

[k in IA]

3. I'm watching Regis and Kelly instead of news. I saw a great

behind the scenes on Shrek and Shrek 2 on VH1 yesterday. I've been listening more to AAR. Checkin out different stuff.

[bryant69]

4. I'm watching Ocean's 11

Then after this I might put on This is Spinal Tap or O Brother Where Art Thou.

Life is too short.

5. Reagan's death has been a positive for me

I know, a horrible thing to say. I don't mean his actual death - I refer to the media coverage of. I was actually going to post on this today.

Because of the over saturation I have stopped listening to the radio (talk, MPR, etc) and stopped watching TV. I never want to hear, "...Tear down this wall" again in my life!

Instead, I have been listening to music. Lottsa music. Nice to get away from the media for a bit! Maybe Reagan should've died more often. uh, nevermind.

6. I actually switched from C-Span (for God's sakes) in the early

morning to AAR. Aaaaaahhhhhhh...
But I resent that I cannot even have whatever C-Span provided not only to liberals but to the population in general being totally polluted by this Reagan diarrhea.

7. I know - C-Span had actually had "some" good stuff on the last

couple of days but that has all gone bye-bye now.

8. I hope this causes a noticeable ratings dip

for the cable news networks. I haven't turned on CNN once since last week, and I'm sure there are many others who are similarly sick of the 24/7 Reagasm.

Reagan's death is a big story, but it's a one day big story.. Maybe two. Get over it CNN.

[caledesi]

9. Same here. Haven't watched anything since Saturday. nt

10. Cooking channel

I have been watching the cooking channel for days. Wife wants to know when I am going to put it to use, (the knowledge from the cooking channel).

18. New Iron Chef's

I'm doing food channel too this week- I like to have TV on for company while I'm working and the news (what's usually on) is way too annoying with all the RR hoopla. Plus the new Iron Chef's are on at 11 for bedtime company.

[Hogarth]

20. Same here.

The Food Network is a good alternative unless Emeril Lagasse or Rachel Ray are on. What ever happened to "A Chef's Tour"? Did the host fall off a bar stool or something? That was my favorite show.

[samhonk]

11. I haven't watched cable news since Desert Storm

I was a scud spud back in the first Iraq "war" and felt so drained and awful after that that I've never looked back. I can just imagine what the Reagasm is like, and my imagination is good enough (bad enough?) that I don't need to see the real thing.

[calimary]

12. Ordinarily, at this hour, I'm at my computer anyway - going through

email, writing stuff, and yes, checking in HERE. So I'd be here in any event.

But no, I have NOT been watching a lot of TV since Saturday. Kids have kept me busy, school's getting out, so there are lots of loose ends, my mom's in the hospital again, and frankly, we can HEAR plenty of what's going on. We're here in L.A., so whatever's gonna be leaving the Reagan Library by way of Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station will fly right over our house. We've heard numerous military fly-overs in the last few days. ENOUGH, already. But I OD'ed on him WAY more than 24 years ago. I was here in California when he was governor, and granted, I wasn't old enough to be really politically aware, no less very active yet. But I still knew enough to realize that something smelled...

I've been blissfully detached from all that. Not like I'd miss anything. I mean, we ALL know how it ends. I MIGHT watch some of the pageantry on Friday, just to see how badly bush botches up his speech. But that's a big "MIGHT." Got lots of other things to do that day, anyway.

13. Raising my hand. I usually have the TV on while typing at DU.

Today, I am playing some of my old tapes of 70's and 60's music. Damn, it sounds so good. I forgot how much I liked Gordon Lightfoot and BJ Thomas and all those wonderful folks at Mowtown.

[Corgigal]

14. The TV is off this week

until at least Saturday. Did rent Mystic River last night and turned on Letterman. NO TV during the day.

[quinnox]

15. I'm sick of it, TV is off

I can't take another two days of this nonsense. I bet Friday will be wall to wall coverage morning to night.

[Generic Other]

16. me too

The news blackout has been a nice break.

[seabeyond]

17. no news since saturday.

movies movies movies............every once in a while like once a day i flip on and flip off. surely the outside world can come thru sometime. anyway, so if anything in the world happens i expect to hear from you all i can turn on the news again

my question, after friday, are they just done with reagan coverage or do we taper off

[KharmaTrain]

19. Alternative Coverage???

Is there someone out there that could stream a different naration to the pictures on CNN or Faux? TBTM? Bartcop? It'd be fun to really give the Gipper a proper send off!

[shanti]

21. there's always the NBA playoffs!

(go lakers!) i haven't watched one show about raygun. this is what's nice about my dish:-)

[Unperson 309]

22. Me!

Haven't had the Idiot Box on since last Friday.. exzcept for the Daily Show.

Won't have it on again (eftDS) until*next* Friday!
