you only think you're funny, god

Plugged the TV back in (I unplugged it before I left town, because I read somewhere they can explode or you get ants or something DON'T QUESTION ME), removed the old...um...box thing that let the cable box and the DVDs and the TV all talk to each other, and finally got around to actually connecting the new antenna. Ran the program thing where the TV searches for channels and adds them in.

I can get one channel now.

It's FOX.

Watched 2 minutes of The X Factor, then put in A Hard Day's Night because I hate punching myself in the face.

They used to, like, not do that, running multiple episodes of something to fill a 90-minute or 2-hour slot. And padding it with commercials. Usually the same really depressing commercial for The Office with the photocopier over and over and over and over sorry I'm getting off track.

There is nothing funnier than a getting game recs from a Best Buy clerk. "We have Brain Games!" "Does stuff blow up in Brain Games?" "Uh...not really. Cooking Mama?" "Does Cooking Mama have any sort of turn-based combat system?" "No, ma'am."

PBS has also started cutting stuff. Sherlock had whole scenese excised, apparently so we could have more Alan Cumming in our lives.

Tell me about PBS cutting shit for stupid Alan Cummings. Dear God in Heaven. Suzan and I were just bitching about that a few weeks ago. We knew they were cutting the Lewis episodes, but we thought most of the cuts were not of anything vital.

WRONG. Like, plot points, and major character development bits OH MY GOD PBS ARE YOU SHITTING ME? Thank God we already had the DVDs from the UK.

And Sherlock--I mean, I've seen the first three eps exactly once--I suspect I'd have to watch those 5 times to catch everything. And if they're cutting important stuff there, too...? We're supposed to follow this how, exactly?

But God knows we need more Alan Cummings. <shudder>

"No, ma'am." Oh. Dear. Brain Games--ouch! You show 'em, Ann!

I totally know what you mean about BBCA showing the same fucking commercials twelve hundred times. Makes you want to find the person responsible and hit them repeatedly on the head with a sizable rock. Mind you, with the kind of brains that probably see those commercials nonstop in their heads already, it could only be a blessing. I'm picturing the Spock mind-meld with the NBC exec from SNL here.
