Over the air TV is total crap on a Monday night primetime!

[ddeclue]

(well most nights for that matter...)

I can't stand being unemployed and de-satellited...

:(:cry::(

1. Don't feel bad... I have Satellite and there is "3's Company" showing on every Channel.

[ddeclue]

3. Three's Company is actually good stuff compared to the crap on TV tonight...

At least Ritter was a funny guy...

2. I'm watching Dancing with the Stars!

I love that show. I never did at first but now I love it. It's addicting!

[ddeclue]

5. HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT...

It's like a cross between the Solid Gold Dancers and the National Inquirer...

I despise "reality" TV - the only exceptions are the shows based on following someone around in their real life high adventure job like "Ice Road Truckers" etc. but those are only on cable.

9. It's not for everyone's tastes.

As a lot of shows. I'm not a huge reality TV fan either but I've become really addicted to watching this one. I work second shift so I hardly watch a lot of primetime TV, but it seems like I have a lot of Mondays off, so I just continued to watch it.

4. have you checked out HULU?

pretty dang cool. Free TV on demand.

http://www.hulu.com/

[soothsayer]

8. would be cool except there's nothing worth watching on hulu, is there?

On edit: there's more on there than I thought, so...hoorah!

[ddeclue]

13. Found a link to "The Closer" there.. I'm a big fan of that show..

There seem to be some good shows there... a lot I don't recognize but some good ones too.

:)

[Egnever]

18. all kinds of good stuff to watch there

current tv series on demand a day or even a week behind in some cases but at this point i am seriously considering canceling my cable and just going with HULU.

It may not have had stuff before but its chock full of stuff now

[ddeclue]

27. It all depends on your bandwidth and it's hard to watch on a laptop.

so there are some drawbacks but it will probably become competitive with other delivery systems soon.

[ddeclue]

31. TNT tells me to download digital rights to play their video

but then fails to download it and quits!

What kind of crap is that?

:argh:

[ddeclue]

10. Thanks! That's cool!

:)

[Egnever]

20. np no need for cable really with hulu and if you have a decent video card ...

you can connect your pc to your TV and view it on your TV.

I am canceling my dish this month since finding it.

[ddeclue]

25. I actually was using my computer projector for a TV

for a long time but my bulb finally blew. I'll have to wait until I'm working again to buy a new one. Once that's done then it really wouldn't be an issue.

The biggest problem is sound because you don't get digital sound outs off your laptop (at least not yet)

What would be cool in the next generation of laptops would be an HDMI connector so that you can plug into sound systems and TV's etc. seamlessly combined with a handheld remote.

6. And no Big Bang Theory tonight! wahhhhhh

[azmouse]

7. TV is total crap every night.

Why single out Monday? :shrug:

[ddeclue]

14. Because TODAY is Monday???/

:shrug:

If I had money to spend I could go out... I have a lot of DVD's but after a while they get old...

I feel disconnected....

:(

[yy4me]

15. I agree, and my TV has not been on for at least 2 weeks, doubt

if it will go on for another 2 weeks. I keep it only because my Internet rate will go up if I drop the basic cable. Thanks to Comcast, all I have is garbage. I get my news here and in the daily paper.

11. The Detroit Red Wings play the Calgary Flames beginning at 9:30pm EDT tonight.

:popcorn: Hockey is one of the biggest reasons I'd like HDTV. It makes a difference.

[ddeclue]

16. but not on my TV...oh and I'm not much of a hockey fan..

although I guess I could learn...

I prefer baseball, football and basketball.

[TahitiNut]

21. In Detroit, the Red Wings are the class of sports.

Other than them, I love World Cup soccer every three years. I really can't watch the Detroit Lions they're so abysmal. Basketball bores me and baseball only interests me in person, at the game.

[monmouth]

12. "American Experience" on Amy Semple tonight at 9 on PBS.....n/t

[ddeclue]

17. Can't get PBS in Orlando anymore w/o digital converter or satellite.

They already switched over...

I had a satellite box that also did terrestrial digital but it died on me and I'm not about to go spend money on toys when I'm broke and unemployed.

[cbayer]

19. I get about 16 over the air PBS stations - stations that people with cable and satellite

don't even get. No commercials, free, high def and there is almost always something worth watching on. I wouldn't have it any other way!

:hi:

[ddeclue]

26. Have to have a digital receiver...

I used to get 4 PBS HDTV digital over the air channels till my digital receiver died. Now I get zero.

:(

[Touchdown]

22. There's Chuck and Heroes.

Rumor has it Chuck will get tea bagged tonight. :evilgrin:

[AlCzervik]

24. I watch Chuck but i gave up on Heroes.

Heroes is ruined.

If Chuck does get teabagged it's going be by Casey no doubt.

[Touchdown]

28. Inside joke so to speak.

The OP also Op'd the teabaging/wingnut thread too.:D

Just being my usual evil self.

[ddeclue]

29. I don't get it...

:shrug:

Just playing along...

:P

[AlCzervik]

30. you don't think i missed that thread do ya?

might be the greatest thread here ever.

[Touchdown]

34. Uh' yeah.

:dunce:

[marmar]

23. So is Comcast Extended, if that makes you feel better.....

..... at least you're not paying to watch crap.

[mudesi]

32. If You Want A Laugh, Try 24

It's a comedy, I swear!

[Touchdown]

35. The shark jumping show!

Never thought anything could be worse than CSI:Miami's shark jumping.

Let's put this lint we found in the victim's pocket under the microscope, take a sample and spin it in this cuisinart while rock music is playing, scan the lint into the computer, enhance to 400%, and EUREKA! We found the killer!:eyes:

[AlCzervik]

33. Hulu.com

www.hulu.com Lots of different shows.

[Touchdown]

36. Hulu is an evil plot to destroy the World!

I saw the commercials for it.:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

37. hulu is awesome! 19 full episodes of American Dad.

[keroro gunsou]
