Reply #43: I don't hate television. I just hate 90% of what's ON television!

[Ian David]

If I could, I would mandate that the only things that can be shown on television are:

1) Sesame Street
2) The Electric Company
3) Babylon 5
4) Star Trek
5) Countdown with Keith Olbermann
6) The Daily Show
7) The Colbert Report
8) The Sugartime episode of Postcards from Buster (on its own channel, 24/7)
9) Mister Rogers Neighborhood
10) HBO's Real Sex
11) Stargate SG-1
12) Stargate Atlantis
13) Re-runs of the old Stephanie Miller Show
14) Laugh-in
15) The Smothers Brothers
16) David Letterman
17) Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip
18) The West Wing
19) Bill Nye The Science Guy
20) Boston Legal

That's all we'd need-- 20 channels, each dedicated to one show.

So, everyone buy stock in your local cable company, and use your proxy votes to make me Chairman.
