Cable Television Sucks!

I am here to tell you, cable TV sucks. You pay all this money to watch shows that mostly suck, and you get nothing all morning except infomercials. Its a travesty. Then to add insult to injury, they cut the show smaller to force more commercials on you.

Then while the credits are running they speed them up and make them tiny to promote some new show that sucks. Talking about promoting new shows, the whole time your trying to watch a show, there is what is known as a “bug” in the corner of your screen. For example, AMC has a bug in the corner that says AMC.

Without fail, during your attempt at trying to watch a show, shit comes flying out from under the bug and blotto’s out half the damn screen so you can’t see whatever you were trying to watch in the first place. Its ridiculous.

Its like this on almost every channel. Even Discovery Channel does it. Speaking of Discovery Channel and all the other educational channels, whats with all the reality shows? Those shows suck and teach you nothing. John and Kate plus Eight? Come on already.

TV Land? Did TV Land get bought out by BET? I see more black shows on TV Land then BET. Cut it out with Roseanne already. At what point can a person see enough Roseanne? Geez . . . .

When will it all end? When people tune out and stop paying these outrageous prices to be bombed with infomercials and commercials. After all we are paying for television. Stop with the crappy and tacky tactics to make a couple extra sheckels. JD

    Are you just now figuring out the business model of television? Rule 1 programming is just filler material to get you to watch the commercials. Dude why do you think that the broadcasters don’t promote over the air TV? Because they have gotten all the drones to accept commercials on pay TV and now they can charge the advertisers and the cable companies for their “product”. I have never owned a TV in my life and I don’t watch TV except for a little bit when I am at work. I only work in the TV business for the money but I am glad that there are plenty of drones out there to consume this shit. But I am also saddened by the realization that most people are ignorant fools and unfortunately can vote. The propaganda machine churns on. WTF Dude get back on the radio.

      KC, where do I get a job to watch television at work? Just messing with you…lol. You've never owned a TV in your life? NOW, that's impressive. Good for you. I always liked the bumper sticker "Kill Your Television", seems appropriate in today's society.
