1. And they'll kill the rest of public TV and radio if they get the chance.

:grr:

5. There was a great piece on Delay on PBS

June of last year. One of the ONLY things I'd seen on tv about how corrupt Delay is/was.

When I called to donate money and compliment them on the show, an older woman seemed upset that they would air such a thing! LOL! Kind of cracked me up...she worked for them yet had no idea what they were airing.

Horrible to hear this, though. :(

2. WHAT.???????? NO MORE BENNY HILL?!!

4. I haven't heard that name in years.

6. BBC America shows "The Benny Hill Show" regularly, as well as

"Monty Python," etc.

10. I'll have to look for those

7. Every once in a while... i have an uncontrollable urge to hear the Benny

Hill theme song. And I have to go hunt it down online.

9. That song is fun to play on guitar

3. Maybe they could take the money they pay journalists to write

nice things about the repubs. And then the money they paid the Iraqi journalists too.

8. Really F*cked up!

Let's focus on Alito today. He's not a moderate. He's not a Centrist. Republican Senators should keep hearing what the implications of what a vote for Alito will mean to this country. They should also hear about this piece of work as well.

11. Its only a program for Direct TV..........still on regular cable.

There probably wasn't enough subscribers to justify continuing it. My local PBS Station is having a Monty Python special in a couple of weeks.

12. NOT just for Direct TV. It's on Dishnet too, and it's going off.

There's a notice on the Dish net directing to pbs.org/pbsyou, which says that pbs funds have been cut and pbsyou can't afford to continue. Not a matter of subscribers since it was part of the basic package on both sat service.

Not subscribers, republicans. Boy do they have a lot to answer for come the revolution.

13. I will dearly miss that station.. I watch it A LOT
