The production quality of those shows sucked. And as far as getting rid of the extra channels that we don't need, all I can say is I love food network, but like you,I hate commercials too. In fact, I think that allowing commercials to be louder in volume than the actual feature should be illegal. But alas, any show that I really like, I watch on TiVo. I like to spend about 3 hours a night watching TV. With a PVR (TiVo, Replay, Ultimate TV) I can now watch (4) 1 hour shows in 3 hours. No widescreen DVD's you say? I can't think of many people on this forum, or any video foum that would back you up on that. Pan and scan releases are a bastardization of the original theatrical release, and should be banned. The problem isn't with putting up with letterboxing on a 4x3 screen. No, the problem is having a 4x3 screen. Can I get a witness? :-)
