I'd like to have all the sitcoms and night-time soaps removed from my TV list, too. The last thing I need in my life is Roseanne teaching me a morality lesson on the subject of homophobia, or some such drivel.

But the TV gods don't care much for my opinion, so I cruise on past Ms McBeal, and skip over ER and Freinds and focus on PBS, maybe a sports event, now and then. What I find there is pretty rich pickin's!

When I come to Mudcat; I read lots, answer a few, ask a very few - and my main purpose is to pursue my folk music interests. So what if I choose to dabble in the odd political discussion. It seems to me most threads are music related.
