TV Sucks Pt. 2
Published July 28th, 2009 | 
Just found out that one of my favorite shows, Primieval, has been cancelled. I was already unhappy that, Kings, a new show I’d just started getting into wasn’t coming back for a new season. It’s bad enough that there’s practically nothing else on tv nowadays except reality show dreck and infotainment news talk shows without those idiot programming executives taking off the air the handful of scripted shows that can hold my attention for any length of time.
Let’s face it: variety may be the spice of life, but whether you have 50 channels or 500, it’s virtually impossible to find anything to watch. If you have cable, you’re paying an arm, a leg, and your left nut for a few channels that show the same shows and movies over and over again. I don’t imagine Direct TV is really so much better.
A Direct TV System may ultimately be cheaper than cable but, is Direct TV Service really so much better than cable? It’s like that old Bruce Springsteen song: “57 channels and nothin’ on”. Seriously, there’s a reason why more and more people are turning to the Internet for entertainment — it’s because both commercial and subscriber television is “programmed” entertainment and the programmers aren’t the least bit interested in what most people want to watch.
