Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. There was a time when TLC had programming that actually related to learning; History Channel had programming related to history, and SciFi actually had science fiction.

Now? TLC has Say Yes to the Dress and about 500 wedding related shows, History Channel has 300 shows relating to paranormal activity or Nazi UFOs and wonder weapons, and SyFi (which changed its name because they couldn’t copyright/trademark SciFi) shows wrestling and the occasional science fiction show.

Bruce Springsteen once sang about 57 channels and nothing being on…. it’s now closer to 500 channels - and still nothing on.

But hey, everyone’s watching the train wreck known as Sheen-Tigerblood. I guess folks need to revel in watching someone else’s spiral into madness rather than deal with reality for a while.
