TLC has become Trading Spaces 24/7

I remember when TLC was new back in the '80's. They had a show called "The Mechanical Universe" where they would present such topics as Johannes Kepler's work to explain the motion of the planets....complete with animated algabraic formulas. It was great. The whole channel has been dumbed down quite a lot.

But then...what's wrong with looking at Paige Davis 24/7?

As a result, I've actually resorted to more PBS.

Yikes. pBS

Turn off the TV, read a book, fly kite, ride a bike, go for a walk, do something you couch potato

The only thing that stands out (to me) about "Law & Order SVU" is that there always has to be a point in the show where someone (usually the cops) gets to pontificate, "YOU SIIIICK FREEEEAAAAK!"

TNT used to be good for a few 80's movies like Breakfest Club

I don't watch television that often, but I used to like TNT for alot of the great movies they would show (old and new); but you're right it is now a Law and Order marathon. Don't get me wrong, I love crime dramas, but to me it seems that the show centers on abused or murdered children only, which I cannot sit and watch for entertainment purposes. I find it too disturbing.

OK - here is my peeve. TNT used to be kinda fun

Electronic detonators are the problem. Half the fun of TNT is not knowing exactly when that sucker's gonna explode.

Now that C4 is readily available over the internet, TNT just doesn't pack the punch it used to.

Get a TIVO. Then scheduling changes and themes won't make the least bit of difference to you. You'll still be watching what you want, when you want.
