Subject: RE: BS: Worst TV shows ever?
Okay, guys; cast your votes on this: which is a more gratuitous waste of broadcast power,

television wrestling, or....

televangelists?

I haven't seen Dr. Gene Scott for awhile. For a year or so, I got home from a miserable job at a crazy hour, and would sit down to the TV to unwind. The guy was on for hours every night, sitting there with a scraggly beard, various stupid hats, and a big dog-turd cigar, rambling off what was supposed to be Biblical teaching. I confess to sitting there sometimes, locked into fascination-with-the-train-wreck mode.
One night he was expounding on the prophetic significance of the arrangement and dimensions of the chambers and passages inside the Great Pyramid (believe it or not, that goes back to the early roots of dispensationalism). He paused, said, "Send in more money, and I'll tell you the rest", and sat silent for a prolonged period.
