I remember when The Learning Channel had learning on it. Now watching it actively depletes your intellect.
Cable is dying and they will do whatever it takes to keep it afloat until the last second
I can’t remember the last time I had a cable subscription. It’s been a while.
Oh god, I can. Remember TiVo?
I used to have a TiVo
I really miss the TiVo sound effects. And hacking them to add bigger drives.
Don’t even get me started about the Body Shop.
No bodies I suppose. The old bait and switch.
I just wanted a couple of them for my own reasons and now I have a lifetime ban from the place.
Username checks out
Discovery is full of shows all about people looking for things but not discovering them.
It is frustrating. I still haven’t found that damn Grail yet.
Because around 20 years ago these networks figured out that they can make just as much money pumping out cheap and crappy reality shows as they can by creating expensive and difficult to produce quality programming.
Capitalism at its best
And it worked before streaming came around. Now cable subscriptions are in free fall and they don’t know what to do.
All of those channels were idealistic and naive. The reality of capitalism destroyed them.
No truth on truth social
That’s why they had to call it that.
Funny, but true
The USA FREEDOM Act violates US citizens freedoms and civil liberties.
The “democratic” republic of NK has never been democratic.
Fox News had the motto “Fair and Balanced” for like 20 years, despite being a conservative state propaganda machine.
Turns out you can just lie without consequences!
PBS is the only television worth a damn. Incidentally, it is replete with history, documentaries, non-editorial news, music, and science.
Shout-out the PBS passport. $5 a month and I get all the antiques roadshow I can handle.
There’s no foxes on Fox News either.
I was 100% watching MTV the other day and they legitimately played some music
Thought I was hallucinating
Are you sure you weren’t smoking something
All those examples (except MTV) is David Zaslav hard at work. So glad he’s in charge of WB now!
So… No brothers I guess?
And there are no Indians in Indiana.
To the tune of Home Again In Indiana:
There are no Indians, in In-diana Most were removed, through treaties And the Del-a-ware, had no care went to Miss-ou-ri, with ease The Shaw-nee screwed, the Mi-am-i With the treaty, of, Fort Wayne William Hen-ry Harr-i-son versus Te-cumseh The In-dian’s loss, became, whitey’s gain Now there are no Indians in In-diana
Don’t forget Animal Planet, which hosts shows about tree houses and mermaids now.
Ah, but is there Sy in Syfy?
No. No there isn’t.
I’m sorry but I just call that the syphilis channel because that’s what pops into my head when I read syfy.
I will never understand that stupid name change…
For branding. Sci-fi is generic and can’t be trademarked. While SyFy can be trademarked
