  Not only was the time per hour more back then, but the programming was better too. Nowadays, I watch maybe 2 or three network shows/week (not counting sports). The rest is cable. Not everybody loves Raymond.

    I hear you RE: network programming. Like you, sometimes I can't help but feel like this guy , but without the elitist attitude (hopefully). I actually lied about the OTA thing, as I haven't run a coax feed down to the basement yet. The little set top aerial can't pull in anything. Of course that also means my FM tuner can't pull in anything either. It's on my lists of things to do. :-)

    I watched Raymond once. It was at the best buy last july. They had a HDTV feed of it, or so they said. I caught the tail end of it and Alias (I think). I hadn't seen either shows before. I didn't really care for either. But they looked halfway decent in high-def.

      I wouldn't be without a television. This afternoon I watched Lawrence of Arabia, tonight the Fiesta Bowl. I enjoy programs like Life in the E.R. on Discovery, the History Channel, HGTV, occassional PBS programs like New Yankee Workshop, and HBO. It's just sad that the networks are such a vast wasteland of mindless mediocrity.

        I enjoy some of the same programmes, Motorweek & Nero Wolfe Mysteries in particular. But if there is nothing on, I just turn it off. I also agree that 90% of what is on is dreak.
