I'm not sure what this says about my cultural sensibilities, but I purchased an upgraded digital package that includes Trio for PRECISELY this purpose.  Joel Stein explains the whole exercise (and even takes credit for initiating it) in the current issue of Time Magazine.

Also part of the week's prime time programming:  X-rated films with all the naughty bits removed (yes, they fit a half-hour timeslot!) under the title \"Good Clean Porn\".

Diggity Dawg:
Trio's become a VERY cool channel the last year or so...they also have \"Brilliant But Cancelled\" theme weeks, showing great shows that didn't last long. And they just finished an\"Uncensored Comedy\" week that included a new documentary about my all-time favorite comedian, Bill Hicks.

And they show old \"Late Nite With David Letterman\" reruns.

This thing Stein is involved with is a concept called \"My Trio\" - Quentin Tarantino's scheduled to do a week, too.

 Now, THAT is hysterical.  Caran house-sat for her teaching partner for the past couple of weeks, and was very excited about the music choices on digital cable.  A fun channel like this might make the sale once we get to our new place.

 Y'know, Trio is a cool little off-beat network.  I switch it on sometimes, and its programming is rather different and not apparently worried about trying to get that 18-34 (or whatever it is) demographic.
