I hate cable...I especially hate FOX.

Ren and Stimpy once upon a time, Crossing Jordan AND CSI. Chapelle Show, SNL in its heyday, CHANNEL 11 news because adam may is hot, charlie rose, bbc, the spanish channel is entertaining, grusome open-heart surgery on tlc, and discovery channel specials about herds of endangered species in the african jungle, and anything highlighting european travel... ROBOT CHICKEN. The very best show ever concieved, however, is GREY'S ANATOMY....intelligent writing and plot, drama with a tinge of humor and a bit of realistic and sordid romance. Poor Meredith Grey...nothing is easy for her. Surgical internships are not that glamorous!
