Anyone watching Red&Blue on Discovery Times?
Great show focusing on two families, one, Republican from Louisiana, and the other, Democrats from California. They take each family and put them in each other's environments...

It's interesting.

2. Actually it wasn't like that.
(I hate that crap too.) It was more like a documentary. Well done. Not lame at all.

3. Glad to hear it...
I'm glad I have DirecTV so that I'm not stuck watching the garbage on the networks.

Now that Friends is off the air, there is very little left to watch on network TV that is in current production. I used to like West Wing but not in the last year.

So much is this Caligula-esque reality TV nonsense.

Even with 300 channels it's often hard to find good stuff to watch. I tend to stick to channels like Biography, NGC, DiscoveryTimes, A&E, etc. and the news channels as a result.

I await the next season of the Sorpranos...

4. I don't know how many channels I have....
what irks me is I pay more and more for service yet when I actually want to watch something (which isn't very often) all that is on is Paid Programming. Why doesn't Paid Programming decrease our costs because they certainly keep increasing in number.

5. I agree.
The current reality show craze, and the lameness of most of the shows themselves just nauseates me. I pray it ends soon.
