He’s all over YouTube. Pluto has a channel for that, too, I think.

Watching hardcore plumbers unclog houses/businesses main lines.


OT, but a funny story: Our sewer backed up, and the plumber who arrived was a nice looking young man, all dressed up in brand new looking expensive boots and nice clothes, like he was about to take a date to an upscale western bar. There he stood, looking at a clean out overflowing with poop and toilet paper. First thing he did was make a phone call. I get the idea he was feeling overwhelmed. He got the line open, though, bless his heart!

They can run "The Deportation Show" where illegal alien invaders are deported to countries selected at random. We have no obligation to deport a criminal to a country he claims to be from.

Maybe he'll go to Ukraine. Maybe he'll go to Afghanistan, Iran, or Haiti. Place your online bets before we spin the wheel and find out.

For the first few years, it was movies — some good, some bad. After that it was mostly reruns of CBS shows, and even of older shows from other networks. There were also a lot of made for TV movies in those days that could be shown as repeats.

Nowadays, the networks aren’t even really making that many drama or comedy or mystery series. It seems like it’s mostly game shows and reality TV. Still, reruns might do better than Colbert did. They’d certainly lose the network less money.

1. Larry The Dying Leper: This show is just watching a man slowly die of leprosy. Way funnier!

Yes, I've heard only good things about this new project from Larry David and Barack Obama.

They could just run re-runs of popular old shows they have the rights to and probably make more money - zero production costs.

What? In this day and age... Do we not have a “Paint Drying” channel on YouTube to watch?

1. Test pattern followed by the playing of the national anthem.

Followed by "snow" and barely audible but menacing poltergeist voices.

In the old days of TV, late night TV showed old movies.
