Same thing happens with the Discovery Channel...build the channel on testosterone fuel and once you have a decent following, introduce estrogen. The Discovery Channel started in the ‘80s with promo films about planes. You could count on seeing a Lockheed film at 5pm every day.

That got replaced by home improvement shows. So, they made a WINGS Channel...which became the Miltary Channel. Which is now showing a food show about airline food.

I think R Lee just wanted to yake a break from thw heavy schedule of filming a weekly show.

It’s kind of like being married. You spend years building a man cave complete with big spool coffee table and a couch with books for a leg but really comfortable.

You get married, suddenly, apparently the windows need curtains. The old couch gets replaced by one you can’t put your feet on. And the Playboy centerfolds you spent years collecting have to come off the ceiling where you meticulously spent arranging them like a perverted Michaelanglo have to come down before her mother arrives.

I’ve had State Farm for over 40 yrs. Several years ago they sent me a letter stating that I would never be cancelled. They are tough, and will drop you in second if you are involved in several accidents after initially insuring you.

There is a lesson here as it relates to health insurance. Young healthy people should not pay the same for health insurance as gezzers like me. The gross unfairness of the ACA is the financial burden that it places on young, healthy people who are just starting out and have no money in the first place.

GEICO makes better commercials.
