 Smart man. I've (unfortunately) had to do that a few times myself. Smartass NYC phone operators......


ObGameShows: We're finally gonna get the PYL Christmas board.

I guess my being in Time Warner territory is actually lucky for a change... not counting HBO, Showtime and other premium channels, we have one digital tier, and that's it.  A good selection too, though I wish we had Hallmark and TechTV.

Lucky me. TechTV is on analog on Comcast in my area. Not that I watch it that much...

To give you an idea of the state of cable in Seattle, Washington, when I first moved here in 1998, you could not receive MSNBC at my first apartment in Bellevue, Washington, on 156th Avenue NE. This wouldn't be all that remarkable in and of itself, until you realize that less than a mile north of my apartment, also on 156th Avenue, was the MAIN WORLDWIDE HEADQUARTERS of a REALLY BIG SOFTWARE COMPANY with ties to that particular network, if you know what I mean.

 TRIO remains a favorite channel of mine purely because of the Late Night reruns, but they do show some fairly good original shows (but they repeat them to death). The \"Face Time\" interview with Les Moonves was interesting, because Millionaire cloning was brought up, and the interviewer had never heard of Winning Lines...

Oh, and if they show the \"Most Censored Moments\" thing again, that documentary has the popsicle twins in it, with Chuck Barris explaining why that got by the censors in the first place.
