We have what Debbie and I call at our house ‘Amish TV.’ That is, free broadcast TV. So when I get a night in a hotel with cable TV I get dizzily excited by all the options. Tonight with all the events over at the National No-Till Conference I started channel surfing through all the options. And they were:
- Hockey (Are we in Canada?)
- People turning a mattress over (MTV. Not accompanied by music. I guess MTV has nothing to with music these days.)
- Commercial
- Talking Head (Mitt Romney is rich, can you imagine?)
- Wipeout
- I Love Raymond rerun
- Kevin Hart (comedy?)
- B&W movie about Napoleon (Really)
- George Lopez rerun
- A Spanish language channel (grouped next George Lopez reruns, I get it)
- A Rock movie (Rock the ‘actor’, not the music)
- Locked inside an abandoned beach house (I have no idea why)
- A ‘House’ marathon (Hugh Laurie, not Norm Abrams)
- King of the Hill (the only thing I’d watch so far)
- Commercial
- Pretty in Pink (Molly Ringwald, so cute)
- Commercial
- Little House on the Prairie reruns
- Commercial
- BET (I have no idea what this was showing)
- Commercial
- Bizarre game show
- I have no idea what this was, other than I couldn’t press the channel button quick enough. Disney XD.
- Weather
- Commercial
- Made for TV movie
- Commercial
- Say Yes to the Dress (A Bridezilla reality show?)
- Cuba Gooding on Obama. (An MLK day special is the only explanation I can offer for this)
- Flying Wild Alaska
- America’s Most Wanted (the show even Fox didn’t want)
- Commercial
- Commercial
- Commercial
- Ax Men (loggers working hard)
- Commercial
- Golf (Live, they said. Bonus!)
- Commercial
- Talking heads yelling at one another
- Commercial
- Made for TV movie
- House of Payne (a holy roller series?)
- Fox ‘News’
- Cialis commercial. (seek immediate medical attention if watching this commercial for more than 4 hours.)
People pay money for this?
Fortunately I brought plenty of books with me. (On paper, not a Kindle, so quaint.)
