I haven't had tv in quite a while. I turned it on for two days during the war to see visuals. It was a waste and I yanked the wire back out. Even PBS was silly. If I want to know about the cosmos or anything else, I read a book or hit the internet. I haven't got time to WAIT AROUND for some show to come on and then spend an hour gleaning what I could have read in ten minutes.
PBS is WAY overrated.
PBS is WAY overrated. Agreed. In fact, I think it's total crap and should get zero public funding.
But I have 7 Discovery channels, The Learning Channel, Two History channels, Biography channel, 2 Arts channels, etc - all commercial enterprises that beat PBS cold.
