i hate to admit it but the viacom/directv spat is starting to piss me off.

[killallhippies]

but only because of futurama. i miss it. that makes me sad.

and that's my thread about viacom and directv acting like silly, little bitches.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

What? You don't like the Kid's Mix?

 

[killallhippies]

i don't believe i do.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I wasn't watching Nick or MTV all that much anyway...


However, since our contract has elapsed, we have used the spat to get free movie channels in order to keep us as valued customers...

 

[BossMan62]

Better pissed off than pissed on, right?

 

[killallhippies]

oh. that reminds me. giving away encore until the end of the month was great.

i guess.

it would've been better if there was anything worth watching on encore, but whatever.

i am secretly very happy that all those shit channels are gone. i just can't say that out loud around here.

The ARE silly little bitches...or, actually whores, because it's all about money.

I am pissed about losing Comedy Central, but it's worth it if I don't have to deal with those two companies whining about a percentage again.

indeed.

if mtv never came back it wouldn't bother me at all. i haven't watched that channel since i was in high school. oddly, i do kinda miss logo, but only because it was like comedy central junior half the time and occasionally they played rocky horror. their original programming is fucking lame. gay culture distilled through a moron filter. just made me want to go to the nearest gay bar and slap some bitches.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

I will miss Tosh...

The dueling tickers at the bottom of the channels before they went off made me laugh.

* You may lose these channels because direct TV sucks
* You may lose these channels because Viacom sucks

I liked Logo, too...a lot of funny stuff there!

MTV has sucked since Yo MTV Raps came on, so no loss there....

The kids are pissed that the Nick channels are leaving...but secretly I am overjoyed...

BTW Rock Horror is my fave movie!

 

[killallhippies]

rocky horror is made of goodness. this is truth.

 

[blobfish]

They'll have to reach an agreement before too long, like they did with TNT.

 

[killallhippies]

well, duh.

 

[blobfish]

Is anyone else watching the Legend of Korra show?

 

[phrodeau]

Do you guys actually pay money every month to watch television shows with commercials?

 

[Cheyenne]

Our local spat is between Time Warner and ABC so no ABC right now. Hasn't really bothered me yet although I don't get to laugh at the Bachlorette.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

It's a stupid fight because everyone's moving on line.

 

[killallhippies]

It's a stupid fight because everyone's moving on line.

true. even though i'm bitching i have to admit that i watch most of my tv online now. if directv crashed and burned tomorrow all i'd really miss is football and the background noise. hell, i could watch futurama right now if i really wanted to and i know it and it would be free.

 

[blobfish]

It's a pain in the ass watching stuff online, though. I'd like to get one of those cables to connect the TV to the computer.
