Around The Dial

Back in December I called my local cable operator and said, "Sign me up!"  $75 later and my soul was sold.  It had been a couple of years since I had cable, but I figured since I was making a little more money I could afford to pay close to fifty buck a months for something I don't care that much for.

After the cable was finally hooked up, I did a quick run through of all my channels and began the process of deleting all the shit from my TV's memory.  It started with the Trinity Broadcasting Network, which isn't funny at all to me anymore, then MTV and VH1 and two, count 'em TWO, Lifetime channels.  After the first week I'd deleted a quarter of my channels.

The common thread between these channels is how much they annoy me.  I mean, why would I ever be curious about Bruce Jenner's family.  When "CHiPs" was cancelled I stopped caring about Bruce Jenner.  Little did I know that he was on every other channel that my cable provider provided in it's dirt-poor tier.  No, it is not literally Bruce Jenner on every other channel, but it may as well be.
