Like tonight at Emerald Isle. Do I subject myself to the WNBA? Or do I watch World Series of Poker? I have a question--how can there be a World Series of anything if it goes on interminably? Or do I watch the Soap Opera network? Or maybe one of 80 news stations like C-SPAN 2?
If a t.v. show is airing and no one is watching does it make any noise? How about if a senator is speeching and no one is listening--does it shape any policy?
I think I'll turn to the History channel for some white noise (and because I can't bear to waste a night with cable) and read a good book.

I always love going to a hotel and watching cable, too. I usually end up watching Seinfeld, which I can see on network TV anytime!
yeah i agree about the dearth of quality TV but really all is needed to legitimize cable to me is ESPN
ak - ahhh, television. i think i could create an entire blog on television and it's buffet of options. Put that book down brother!!
for tonight's viewing might I suggest:
Last Comic Standing - 9pm NBC - while cable not required I guarantee at least a couple of audible laughs AND there is a guy from hickory in the finals. he's not that funny but come on he's from hickory - that makes you kind of funny from birth.
Mythbusters - 9pm Discovery - please do not confuse with ghostbusters; totally different but worth watching during the commericals of LCS.
You can also pick up a bit of the Chapelle show on Comedy Central and/or MTV Cribs. Now I don't pretend that either are going to be all that spiritually enriching - but oh so entertaining.
enjoy!
Alex,
I currently sit with a cup of coffee watching the first round of the British Open on TNT. Morning tv cannot get any better, watching the world's best with a cup of Dunkin' Donuts joe. Plus, it's over by 1:00pm, so you still have your afternoon and evening free for beach escapades (or support raising work, depending on one's situation).
Also, I shall concur with Jordan. I would pay my cable company's monthly price just for the family of ESPN networks. I pay for ESPN; everything else is thrown in for free!
