TV here in Mexico is just as bad, except that for the fact that they are talking in Spanish. Somehow that makes it all more tolerable, since I can consider watching bad tv as just another spanish language lesson :)

Hey Dino:

Good luck with the Kindle. Pat bought me one for Father's Day, which we celebrated at the ranch in Montana. Upon reading the fine print, the unique wifi the Kindle uses is not offered in Montana. Therefore, one must follow the fifteen (yes, 15 by actual count) easy steps to download a book from the internet.

I got one book on it, and an enjoying it, especially when reading in bed. A big benefit is that if I should fall asleep, the Kindle weighs much less than a hardbound book, and does less damage to the face. Jury is still out, but so far I like it, and hope you enjoy yours.

Get well Bud!

I just got rid of my tv, because the main shows worth watching are shows I've already seen dozens of times. (and it was broken and I'm moving...). There should be an all Seinfeld channel, by the way. There's some good laugh therapy!
Have you tried public television? There's some good stuff there.
Glad you're up for blogging and I'm thinking good thoughts for a speedy recovery!

Yeah - I agree with you, TV sucks - and is good to avoid whenever possible. It is not made to make peeps feel good - but I won't go there, as you already did! Thank Goodness you love reading so much, eh? Hang in there - hope you had a good day today, and will be going home soon to better cable, err, I mean, to your own bed and the comforts of home!!
XXOO, P

Dino you always make me smile.. you forgot the Disney Channel. Ashley (my 11 year old daughter) thinks you should give Camp Rock a try... hope your feeling well enough to go home soon! your in our prayers!

WGN is starting to show some Canadian comedies. Those crazy canucks are quite funny.

Good to hear you back in standard Dino-ranting form. Love to hear it.

You are actually in luck tonight though! Thanks to my overly boobalicious, and booty-licious cousin, her D-list celeb hubby, and amazingly crazy mother, you have something to watch this evening at 8 pm -- none other than "Celebrity Family Feud" with Ice T and Coco.

Go ahead... tell me how much you love me. :)

2008-06-24T07:27:00.000-07:00

There is always Lifetime or the WE channel. You can usually catch a good movie about cheating or murder, usually with Jacqueline Smith or Joanna Kerns. Or...you can always rent Nuns on the Run.

Love you

2008-06-24T00:24:00.000-07:00

I'm not proud to admit it, but I have caught an episode or two of Ice Road Truckers, Deadliest Catch, Dirty Jobs and I absolutely LOATHE myself for liking Groomer Has It on Animal Planet (you seriously cannot believe how insanely stupid this show is, alas, I'm so amused by it. Where do they find these people?) Cat is out of the bag now...my IQ is below 70? :)

Thinking of you and glad to hear that you're in good company with Old Man Dilaudid as he's affectionately known in the McIntyre family.

KINDLE!! Oooh, I'm jealous :-)

Enjoy that sucker. Check your email. T and I will set you up with some books!

Dino, I agree most of TV these days isn't worth watching. But, then we could be living in another country where everything is in a foreign language. However, that may be a bit more entertaining to try and figure out what they are saying?!
So sorry to hear that you are back in the hospital, but happy you are getting the proper drugs to make you feel better.
Hang in there and never forget that everyone is praying for you and sending good thoughts and wishes your way.

Warmest Get Well Greetings,

2008-06-23T19:27:00.000-07:00

Hey Dino -
this was a great article. good on ya!
so, (like you care) --what i watch (i realize this is really revealing but what the hell) whenever i DO watch the telly:
the Food Network - always works in a pinch, except i cannot STAND 'Giardia'...omg.
Corey and i LOVE the Deadliest Catch!
and Gene Simmons is a caricature of himself - it's too funny to watch his ego spew all over the place, dude!
Two and a half men - pretty funny and LOTS of reruns. it must be on various channels 3 - 4 times daily!

this little menu brought to you by sister Mo who feels jilted...
from the tv in Kenwood,
love, kisses, and Hulk Hogan,
Lynn

ps - of course, Seinfeld is the best there ever was so at least you have those reruns, eh?

2008-06-23T16:56:00.000-07:00

It's good to see you have enough lucidity to be fed up with all the crap on TV. Make sure you don't turn to CBS for any of their sitcoms geared to those with IQs of 70 & lower.

I do think you are being a bit hard on reality tv though...and yes, there IS a TV show about the dangers of king crab fishing in open waters, & I've gotta tell you...it is fascinating! "The Deadliest Catch" - it's great. ;-D They might be on the 3rd season by now...

"So You Think You Can Dance" is also a goodie & I must admit, I just started Tivo-ing Denise Richards, It's Complicated.

You may wonder about my TV/entertainment standards, but hey - I love Airplane, Austin Powers, Dumb & Dumber...so I KNOW quality stuff when I see it! Well, at least entertaining crap.

Thanks for continuing to blog. It brightens my day just to read about your ranting.

2008-06-23T15:28:00.000-07:00

I am boycotting this blog until you give Iron Eagle the justice it deserves as a classic movie from 1986, not a crap movie. Lou Gosset fresh off his oscar winning performance in an Office and a Gentleman deserves respect!

Of course the rest of the rant I agree with.

2008-06-23T14:53:00.000-07:00

yeah, tv sucks. Do you get Cartoon Network? It's got some decent stuff on there.

If only you had wireless in your room--you'd be set. :)

Hope the pain is subsiding and you get cleared for check out soon.

My condolences on Italy's loss. You are right though -- you didn't miss much and they totally deserved to lose. :|
