So I just got cable tv hooked up.

It's been a little over a year since I last had cable tv, nice to know I havn't missed anything.

Flipping randomly through I came across:
Survivor - how the fuck is this still around?
a dozen bullshit news programs - same old
futurama - rejoice!
and some documentary about some woman who got gang banged by 250 guys in an afternoon or something -claaaaaaaassssssy

Is there anything actually worth watching out there?

The channels you get for the lowest rate aren't very interesting.

Try some better channels like the specialty ones: Discovery, History, Bravo, Showcase, HGTV...

Wow, you just wasted a lot of money when you could just download anything decent off of BitTorrent.

so true. why pay for basic cable when you can download commerical free hdtv episodes.

my suggestion to you is buy a dvd player that supports the divx/xvid codec, buy a pack of blank dvdrw's and visit this website http://www.eztvefnet.org/

save yourself money.

cable is a thing of the past anyways, its all about digital satellite tv :p

especially when one can hack it to get all the channels for free

TURN OFF YOUR TV!!!!!

Cancel your cable!

Go pick up a book!

Or, at least, as stated above, use that fancy intra-web thingamajiggy.

If you get the Movie Channel, you can get the HBO serials.

These shows are good: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Colbert Report, House, Scrubs, Lost.

I read at a 6th grade level. Fuck off already.
And my computer is a peice in every sense of the word. No cd burner, 1.5 gig hard drive. MS paint pushes my graphics card to the limit and solitaire is my bitch.

So thanks for coming out.

Kinda like one of these? :p

It's funny 'cause I owned and used one of these for years.
