Do you watch PBS?

If you're in the US, do you watch PBS? What do you watch? I love Nature and Red Dwarf and New Yankee Workshop and Theodore the Tugboat.

Well, we don't have PBS here, but I do watch red dwarf - up until around the series 6/8 mark, where it lost it pretty badly, although th emost recent series (nine?) was a return to form.

oh, Feed a cold/starve a feaver is a myth, eat sensibly during both and drink lots of fluids.

Hey, you didn't mention Bob Ross! Y'know, the guy with the big big hair that did Joy Of Painting. Watching that show was like being on sedatives or something. "Now, take your brush, and let's put a little tree here next to the stream. Nice and easy, now. Just a happy little tree by a stream."

Nooo... must... change... channel... turning... into... happy... tree... aaaaaaaahhh...

The rare times we watch PBS these days, it's to watch Fawlty Towers.

A better question would be 'do I watch TV'. And the answer is generally no. Now, if I'm in a vehicle, there's a good chance that NPR is on. I adore NPR. Excellent radio.

Yeah, I thought that season 7 was a totaly wash. Our local station hasn't bought season 9 yet, so I'll take your word for it. =)

I think my body's trying to hibernate again. "It's cold! Quick! Eat something!"

And Xydexx - Gah! How could I have forgotten Bob Ross? Painting man? With the happy little clouds and all? Shame on me...
