And I always wonder, after this many years WTF did you expect?

The remote is your best friend, there has to be a Law & Order rerun on somewhere.

One can stream it online. PBS usually has good stuff, too.

Sunday shows that actually make you think.

We have to get up at 5 to watch but we do it every Saturday & Sunday.

PBS? Meh. Your station might be OK but ours is running the Cat in the Hat right now.

I don't have cable. Most PBS stations have 3-4 channels on broadcast. Actually, on a clear day, with a properly adjusted antenna, I can also get the 3 GPB channels, as well. There is always something on one of them to watch, whether it's their own Sunday shows, kids shows, local programming, reruns of the week's evening shows, or cooking and travel shows. On Saturday afternoons, one can almost watch a "This Old House" marathon.

It is a fact that was backed up by a recent study, sorry didn't save it, of the dominance of Republicans on the pundit shows where they get to spread the out right lies and distortions. For most of the year the cable news shows were dominated by coverage of the Republican primaries at the expense of actually covering the Republicans' "Do Nothing" campaign to destroy Obama regardless of the cost to the nation. Does it have an affect? I can't help from believing that for those Independents who are undecided such unbalanced treatment will have its intended affect.

that's pretty much all I watch unless it's fall and I can get the Packers. TVs are very over-rated.

Even though pathetic tools like Gingrich and Bachmann spout off easily refuted lies and ridiculous assertions, by giving them lots of air time, the MSM makes the conservative positions of the Obama administration seem almost/barely progressive.
