“Come Monday…” is a
weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about, websites, movies, documentaries, television
shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time. Be assured that these reviews will be
generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come
Monday.” This is subject to change,
however. In fact, I would be most
derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while. For rants promote change, and change can be
good—right? Therefore, since good is
generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel
universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being
something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).
“Unreal”
is a term that was commonly used to describe something that was hard to
believe—both in a good and bad way. It
may still be, but I do not get out much anymore.
Anyway,
unreal was what came to mind when I started noticing what programs were being
aired on a certain network while setting our DVR to record what keeps my wife
relatively happy. For they just didn’t
seem to fit.
So,
I made a list of what was being broadcast (and rebroadcast, and rebroadcast,
and rebroadcast) that week, which is as follows. Please keep in mind that it was compiled a
couple of weeks (or so) ago.
Oh,
and added here and there to the schedule, was CMT music shows of various shapes
and sizes, which does fit. For we are
talking about [CMT] here.
No,
I really don’t get it. For it would be
different if CMT was a local television station wanting to provide a broad
range of entertainment choices for those living in an area where they could not
pick up any other channels, but with hundreds of different channels being
available on cable, wouldn’t they want to distinguish themselves, especially
with the name of Country Music Television?
Come on now, who do they think they are—[TNN]?

and
TV in general just makes me crazy. Nothing worse than sitting down to watch, flipping through hundreds of channels and not finding ONE good thing to stop on. What happened to all the good old shows?
ReplyDeleteProgrammes like those are what the off switch was made for.
ReplyDeleteI regularly watch 'Eggheads' a quiz, A programme about train journeys through Britain made by an ex politician, football and news. The rest available is nearly all 'pap!'
So much available to those who can afford it and so little difference between the offerings. Dumb TV sells! It is 'bread and circus's' and nothing else.
Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! I am still hoping to be able to get a computer to hook up to the TV, which would make a lot of very interesting things much more enjoyable (AND CHEAPER!) to watch.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! It would be plumb comical if it wasn't so irritating.
ReplyDeleteI agree, can't figure out how they call themselves one thing but show whatever they want completely unrelated?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Country Mouse!!! I suppose it shouldn't be surprising. For the powers that be in the entertainment business have generally proven themselves to be blithering idiots for as long as I can remember. Hmm, I wonder if that is a job requirement?
