I've got loads of TV channels!

Like most pretentious people, I always tell people that I "hardly ever watch TV" and I tell my friends how crap TV is all the time.

However, today I got a digital cable TV service set up at home. Purely for the news you understand, the political shows.

Mmm I've gone from a mere 5 channels to hundreds of channels of shit to choose from... at the flick of a button I could be watching a "Knight Rider" or "Taxi" re-run - just like that. That my friends, is real power!

I think I'll need a few days off work... so many ads I haven't seen, so much imported American crap I've yet to see! I've just found a channel that seems to special in "Judge Judy" and "Cops" and "America's Most Dangerous Carchases" 24/7. Boy, I can see my money was well-spent already!

I absolutely love my digital cable. I love the Sundance and IFC channels. My only problem is I can't watch everything I want because they always come on at the same time and I have to choose. That sucks

Oh ian, you're so lucky. All that crap at the touch of a button. At the moment, I'm glued to 'America's Dumbest Snails', re-runs of 'Spenser For Hire', 'The New Adventures Of The Little House On The Prairie', 'TJ Hooker - The Golden Years', 'God We Worship You Cos You're Great - Now Give Us Your Money, Peasants!' and 1980 editions of 'Crossroads'. I love TV!

I've just found a channel that seems to special in "Judge Judy"


Do you mean judge Julie (Julie Strain) from Sex Court? She is sooo cool. Even though she´s in her fourties she still kicks alien ass and knocks down evil ninjas with her breasts in cheezy action movies. What really makes her cool though, is that she´s a lot brighter and a million times funnier than all of her colleagues in the "erotica" business. So I wouldn´t exactly say no thanks to a channel like that.
