“Besides, all the good tv has already been done”

Agreed. My wife and I mainly watch Turner Classic Movies anymore. Some of the old stuff is great! Plus no advertisements!

Amen to that!

Now, on a regular channel they have part of the tv screen filled with advertisements for other shows they want you to watch during the week during the program broadcast you are watching.

I still remember when AMC was worth watching as they had one break in the middle of the movie broadcast and that was all. Now a two hour movie lasts three hours because of advertisements.

TNT used to have movies! Now it is mostly cop shows over and over and over again.

Back years ago Turner had seven minute blocks of advertisments. Why seven minutes? If you wanted to tape a movie and put the VCR on hold during advertisements, the VCR wouldautomaticly shut down after six minutes!
Now they cover the lower corner with advertisements for other shows.

TCM Rules!
