Boy, you really screwed up this Time Warner Cable

Last night, I had a minor (read: major) freak out moment when I flipped over to trusty channel 74, The Travel Channel, to watch personal hero Anthony Bourdain do some travelling, griping and smoking in some exotic locale on one of the classier shows on TV, No Reservations. Much to my chagrin, some bullshit made for TV movie starring Lori Laughlin was on. Hmm, I thought, this isn't TC's usual fare. I figured something had gotten screwed up and the channels had switched on me or something of the ilk. NO, friends. TWC has bent me over and stuck a dry digit in my rectum, and I couldn't be more displeased. It turns out that TC has been replaced by "The N" which appears to be a Aaron Spelling network catered to women and fucking assholes. Today, "Noggin" is on 74, which I can only imagine is the daytime equivalent to "The N." Now, for those of you who don't know, I really enjoy traveling, or at least the idea of learning about other cultures and the way they live. This is why I relish shows like No Reservations and Andrew Zimmer's Bizarre Foods. To me, its entertaining and educational. So what gives TWC? Do we really need "The N"? Who benefits from this channel? Kids? Idiots? Not me, TWC, not me. I yearn for Anthony Bourdain and other travel shows, not fucking Degrassi High. (Sigh)



I did, however, watch a few shows on [adult swim] last night, including Metalocalypse, which is actually quite good though it took a few episodes to grow on me. I also watched Frisky Dingo, which I didn't quite get at first, but did a little research on and I think its really quite good, also. It's done by the folks who brought us Sealab 2021, which I absolutely adore for its inanity and unadulterated stupidity. Venture Bros. was also entertaining, and I would like to see more of the early episodes. I'm still not sold on Moral Orel though, as i find it less obscure and kind of preachy. I am also still not a fan of Robot Chicken, as I think its really just a way for Seth Green to spend his money and his friends' time. I guess it pays to sell pot in Hollywood.



In other news, I am not feeling well at all, and my body feels like I have been run over. I think I am running a fever, and I am hoping I have the energy to give my new Harold team a great first rehearsal tomorrow evening. I am excited about directing and playing Harold again. I am also thinking about putting some of this improv stuff down on paper and dialog with myself, as I am finding that its a lot easier to do than to think about. Adult Swim probably isn't going anywhere for a while, but people are going to get tired of the same old Family Guy episodes, right?
