As if there was any doubt Sony’s (SNE) giant 84-inch 4K resolution LED TV would be expensive, Sony has finally priced its upcoming XBR-84X900 TV. The flat screen with a whopping 3840 x 2160-pixel resolution and integrated speakers will sell for $24,999. While Sony will start taking preorders for the TV beginning Thursday, September 6th, it won’t actually be available until November.

I only watch cable shows. I used to watch CSI, but that got old. And I do like a number of shows like IRT, Pawn Stars, and a few others. However, I do tune in to channels like Me tv to watch the old shows. And Encore and some of the tv channels show old westerns.

I didn't say there is a lot of good programming, I said there isn't. My point was that there is practically no decent shows today because the viewer IQ is pretty low. The vast majority of the viewing audience likes crap tv and crap movies.

Sorry, I won't watch AMC. Not that long ago it was commercial free, but then the frequency and length of the commercials became overwhelming.
Perhaps worse, they'd go to a hard break right in the middle of someone talking or a great scene... obviously computer controlled.

MeTV is pretty cool although I'm amazed at the simplicity of the plots and scripts for some shows. It also rekindled my crush on Marlo Thomas :)
I've had Encore for many moons and it's well worth the $7 a month since it's all commercial free.

What can I say? such a trivial reason rejection is unfathomable.

Yes, trivial, like rejecting a tax on tea. Tsk, tsk.

You've got to remember that in those days tv shows sometimes had 39 yearly episodes. After a few seasons I'm sure the writers were wracking their brains to come up with different story lines. What to do? Recycle old plots was their answer. That's why I'm amused to see the same plot lines repeated in a lot of different shows. For instance, in a typical long-running western like Bonanza, you'll plots like


old enemies coming to the Ponderosa to get revenge
the man falsely accused of a crime about to be lynched
one of the Cartwrights falsely accused of a crime about to be lynched
the drifter getting hired with a mysterious past
an old friend of one the Cartwrights who has a mysterious past and has come to cheat or help the Cartwrights
a minority who has been wronged by the townfolk getting aid and sympathy from the Cartwrights who teach the bigoted townspeople about tolerance
and my favorite plot device: the evil twin.

These and countless other story lines were repeated in practically every long-running western. I still watch them though.
