Television is about to get a WHOLE LOT better

[ZENemy]

Ugh...I can't stand most TV. Parks and Rec on Hulu is about all I watch. Ron Swanson kicks ass.

And I haven't watched a network news broadcast in years. It usually takes about 5 seconds before the anchor spews BS. Even the local news is so full of idocracy and terrible logic that I can't stand it.

the Three Stooges, however are a thing of beauty!!

Once again, Internetz FTW! Turn off the idiot box!

Post script: the 'ouch my nuts' show from idocracy was spot on with the America's got talent but-bashing guy. There's a meme of that floating around if I recall...

yes!

I miss the days of when Mad Men was good. It illustrated so much of America's quiet, lonely desperation with her haggly old body and mind.

Same here. Youtube is available now as well on XBOX Live, so I'm happy(except for the fact Netflix selections SUCK, and it takes FOREVER for them to update, at least on XBOX, anyway, and Hulu doesn't really have anything I'm interested in).

Some links you might like:
(When I ran out of money to pay $90/mo for the 4 or 5 channels I watched I have seen the best TV I've ever seen)

http://tvpc.com/ChannelList.php
(Not all the links work all the time but usually most of them do)

http://fullepisode.info/
(you can stream the video, pause it while it downloads, then save it from the cache)

http://www.channelcut.me/last-150

http://www.tubeplus.me/

You can see almost everything you want and lots of good stuff you never knew existed (Spooks, Apprentice UK, etc) and not even spark up a torrent app

Bye Bye Direct TV

I have a $10 indoor antenna and watch a few shows. I don't pay for satellite/cable or internet. I take the savings and purchase 3 oz of silver every month. I own a laptop and go to McDonalds and purchase a cup of joe should I "have" to get online or I get online at work. I highly value my library card Currently reading the Fountainhead.

Despite this, I am still glad and proud to be one of the few that cancelled cable and all mainstream TV viewing.

I kept netflix, that's all.

We've been reluctant to pull the plug past locals. We live to far from a big city to get your abc's, nbc's etc of the world. The only reason we'd like to keep them is incase of a weather alert etc.

When I got my new place I didn't even bother with cable. Costs well over $1000 a year and 1/3rd of it's usage is spent on advertising/consumerism. $300+ to watch and listen to lawyers speed read side effects that include death for 20 minutes on the hour? No thanks.

Aquabats Super Show.
Way more entertaining, and about as informative.

Yeah I miss my roof antenna: I would get RT, Al Jazeera, and NHK world. Got to see some fascinating stuff from across the globe.

I wish there were more of you in Roanoke. Everyone I know down there is a commie, and that's not representative of the general population, which seems to be straight Zionist warmongers. The rodeo scene in Borat was particularly funny if you know the area....

I hate to break this to you, but "interesting" and "television" are mutually contradictory terms.

Yeah same here with the ps3 - and if you download the YouTube remote you can control everything from your cellphone on the sofa to the ps3 and watch YouTube videos. There's Netflix and a couple others too I see. I never used ps3 until my son told me I can watch movies off You Tube on the TV with an app on my cellphone. It's kind of interesting how everything is connected as soon as you sign into your Google account on the ps3. Amazing to say the least.

Just moved here in November. All I see when driving is Romney and Obama stickers. Roll down window...insert hand into mouth...and vomit! Any specific area/place I should check out?
