Throw away the remote
I’ve decided to design my own television channel. I figure there are so many now anyway, why not one just for me? Here is the programming schedule starting at weekday 6pm, which is kind of silly since I rarely get home before 7. The interesting thing is, assuming I had access to all of these shows, the creation of this “channel” can be done in-house with technology available right now.
6pm: pre-Elmo Sesame Street alternating with Electric Company and Muppet Show (which are 30 min shows)
7pm: rotation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Babylon 5.
8pm: 80s nostalgia hour: Moonlighting, MacGyver, Hunter, Murphy Brown, Square Pegs
9pm: the Aaron Sorkin Hour
10pm: a Julia Child cooking show
1030pm: cartoon (Simpsons, Family Guy, PowerPuff Girls, Foster’s Imaginary Friends, South Park, etc)
(uh, you should go to sleep now)
11pm: Star Trek TNG
12pm: The State sketches
1230pm: Infomercial about a cooking gadget or ridiculous beauty product
