WOR's pre-UPN claim to fame
The Morton Downey, Jr. show.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I am suddenly having vague memories of other local grade-Z talk shows. Like the Richard Bey show, which was like Jerry Springer, only even cheaper and everyone with Bronx accents.
Wow, this is why I didn't learn anything in highschool -- too busy watching Flatbush bellydancers justify their chosen professions to their angry boyfriends.

So, there's a new damn episode tonight, right? Along with Lost and Bones?
The TV schedule lives to make me weep.

also the MIT Mythbusters is on, re-visiting the Ancient Death Ray experiment. Since no VM tonight for us, I will try to watch Lost and tape Mythbusters.

I haven't come up with a plan to deal with three shows/one time slot. I can do two, but three is a logistical nightmare. Theoretically they're repeating VM on Sunday, but my local station often sticks something else in instead.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, new VM and new Lost.
Of course, VM is being repeated over the weekend AND next Tuesday -- so you could make your decision based on that.

UPN, at least in Boston, only sent 10 hours of programming per week. I don't think the change should hurt them too much.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

As long as 38 has the Phantom Gourmet and the Cheesy 80's movie of the week that comes after, they'll be fine without UPN.
Besides, how much does 10 hours of UPN a week cost? Like, a buck fifty? (Checks thread title). I mean, for all those other shows, of course.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
They put a positive spin on it saying they could be more devoted to local programming. Yeah right.
Locally, KRON lost NBC and has done well with Elimidate and Fear Factor. But seriously, KRON works because local news was always their strong suit and viewers stuck with them out of longstanding habit, lack of network affiliation notwithstanding.
Before KOFY-20 became a WB outlet it was one of San Francisco's more idiosyncratic media outlets. Its owner, Jim Gabbert, was one of a kind, but I wouldn't mind seeing one of our netlet franchises revert to independent status. It could be freeing.
