Television

I have a theory that every broadcast and cable network has been hijacked by 60 year old women. I have nothing against 60 year women. Both my grandmothers were once 60. My mother will be sixty in just under 40 years. My wife will make a lovely sextagenarian. They do, however, suffer from a dangerous lack of taste. Hence, the banality that spews out of my television screen. In a world where I would have more financial freedom than I do right now, I would have digital cable or satelite, and I would be able to watch Turner Classic Movies. As of right now, I am consigned to choosing from either a litnany of TV movies (There has never been a decent TV movie and there will not be one this side of eternity) or reruns of one many flavors of Law and Order or real movies that made $7500 total at the box office. I could watch College Football. Who wouldn't want to watch North Central Connecticut State in their annual grudge match against Lemory University? It seems that the only people who enjoy the line-up are 60 year old women, who can't get enough of William H. Macy playing--what?--a loser and reruns of "Doc" on PAX.
