The Literal Channel
There is an endless list of why cable tv is so great. Bascially it is just a metaphor for what you have in life which is options. I have the option of watching MTV until I am blue in the face and also may want to kill myself because all my brain cells have commited suicide. I have the option of watching old game shows with old people and old-type pappy jokes like Howdy Doody. I have the option of watching Dirty Dancing every day, or I could watch the Sopranos and pretend I know what they are talking about and what is going on even though I don't.
BUT what I REALLY love is the science channels!! They are not keen on fancy titles for thier shows or interested in celeb-reality. It is what it is. There are NO surprises with the science channels. If you see a show called "Face Eating Tumor" I gurantee it is NOT going to be about the acne of a13 year old. The other day I was hanging out, making some dinner and my favorite show, "Mastadon in your back yard" came on. Was I pumped!! Other shows that I really enjoy just because of thier literal capacity:
Trauma; life in the E.R.
When medical instruments are left behind
I am my own twin
Born without a face
Dive to Bermunda Triangle
Face Transplant
Born with two heads
Born with three feet
Mega Machines
Let's face it. Out of all the channels the science channels are the best. They are actual reality and it is lots of usefull/useless information that you can bring up at social events and/or work (depending on where you work) . I mean seriously, what is more interesting. Bringing up who got booted off The gauntlet or how you save a man from a face eating tumor? No contest.
