A World Without TeeVee

For the next few months, Bigfoot and I will attempt to live without any cable tee-vee in our home. This is one update on how we are dealing with the experiment.

* In a world without cable tee-vee, I ventured into the cold night of CBS's new show called Cold Case. Bigfoot and I were making dinner together one night, and because the show is set in Philly, we decided to give it a shot. That was a big mistake. First of all, no lady cop, even if she makes detective, spends all kinds of time on hair that looks that crappy. It's true, I looked.

CBS is a crappy network, and this show is the top of the crap heap. For a cop show in the age of Law and Order, it sucks. The bar is too high for such amateur crap like this. I restate my belief that there is nothing worth watching on CBS, nor will there every be until they stop making shows for retards.

* Thankfully, the tee-vee does have the Simpsons and That 70's Show on every day, which is a huge plus if I'm home.

* I think in about four months I am going to be hella ready for the cable to be re-plugged into my head. By then, I hope to have a job with less night work, thereby allowing me to watch tee-vee in the evenings and start wasting my time again.

This experiment was poorly planned. You see, because I work crazy hours, and the wife has two jobs, we never have the time to spend together. This past Friday was the first time in three weeks when we were both free and there was no ball game on the tee-vee. We did spend a nice evening together. She made a real tasty dinner, and then we spent the rest of the night in bed. That was real cool. If we'd had a tee-vee, I'm sure we'd've watched a Law and Order marathon or something, and after that I can never get it up.

Next Month: It's 4 PM, time for the "Judge" shows! And, Dr. Phil is making me thin!
