sophocleese, I'm with you. :) But the idiot box has sucked me in! Heeeelp!

I bought a TV/VCR combo this winter because I owned a few videos, and it seemed silly not to be able to watch them. Then I thought, "Well, I should just buy a cheap antenna, so I can tape the few shows I do watch--X-Files, etc.". Yeah, right. Before I knew it, I was lying there at four in the morning watching Jerry Springer because there was absolutely nothing else on and my finger refused to obey me when I commanded it to press the little red power button.

It's a government conspiracy, I tell ya! Call the Lone Gunmen!

(arrrgh...yet another excruciating tv show...)
