houstonmacbro Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I haven't watched the weather channel in years. If I want info I can't wait until the 8s, I just do the website and get it all right now. Weather isn't that exciting. I wouldn't be surprised if they cut way down on the on air talent in favor of keeping the updates on the 8s and random documentaries.There was a news channel awhile back when I lived in DC. It's premise was local news all the time. I think it was simply News Channel 8 and was kind of like CNN and Fox where they show news all day. It eventually got sickening to watch with stories just being repeated all day. I mean, how many times can you watch the same piece knowing that it's canned content.

IronTiger Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Can't be worse than the local channels (at least around here) that air city-going-ons, facts, and news bits 24 hours a day with the same easy listening loop. Except when they have a city council meeting, which is occasional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbigtex56 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 My secret vice is those police chase video shows - you know, COPS, Wildest Police Videos, etc.What kills me is that a suspect, who is armed, has just robbed a bank, hijacked a car, is driving 90 mph, running stop signs and red lights, trying to knock police cars off the road ...... and during this high-speed pursuit, what does he do? He politely uses his turn signals. I've seen it over and over again. Crooks seem to be more conscientious than the average Houston driver.I can see them pleading in front of the judge: "But, your Honor, you'll notice that I used my turn signal before speeding through that playground."

VelvetJ Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 OK, at times I am just too darn idealistic. Am I crazy or am I the only one who understands WHY the citizens of Cleveland are upset with Lebron James? I'm not questioning whether he had a right to leave. Of course he had a right to leave, NBA players do it all of the time. He made a business decision. I just don't understand people who don't understand WHY Clevelanders are booing him. Just wanted to express that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Not knowing who Bob Dylan is = FAIL.Cleveland fans are bitter, they have been dumped on since the beginning of time. LeBron can go wherever he wants, but the way he did it was immature and classless. Of course he'll never realize that because he's just a large, talented kid. In the end, it's the NBA so who gives a crap. His self-importance has reached ridiculous levels, and I choose to not partake in any of it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
