    I wonder if you all see the same thing I do-the cable TV plays the SAME SH*T over and over and over especially on Sat/Sun!! It like they got an archive room way the hell down under the earth so they have a handfull of movies handy they will play and refuse to dig out something different! Only exception is Lifetime-my wife's FAV....they at least play a decent variety of stuff-allbeit girly drama:rolleyes: Im just sayin-$55.00 a month and all I ever do is defer back to the national news stations! Seriously-did Ted Turner lock up all the cool fliks???

    I hope Ted Turner dies of AIDS of the cancer of the eye. I hate Time Warner and AOL. It's not really cable or satallite's fault, but Saturday and Sunday aren't really prime sales times either. Television used to be for information. Then for information and entertainment. Now it's all controlled and aimed to sell products. For the past few years I've despised television. Fewer and fewer television shows are worth my time. With the "reality" show craze and the overall lack of substance and depth (which is no fault of the writers, IMO) tv is just going downhill and shows no sign of improvement.

    Although....cable or satellite, we tend to watch the same dozen channels.
    Perhaps that's our problem?

    I do own a Magic Bullet. I haven't used it for much yet, but it's pretty solid.
