Earlier this week I turned on my antique cathode ray tube and flipped the channels looking for something to watch. I sat through about 20 minutes of an MTV Real World/Road Rules challenge, then decided I had better places to find video programming, and fired up a series I’d just heard about, California Heaven, on my MacBook Pro. The show is a made-for-the-web soap opera that’s at least as bad as any other soap opera I’ve seen, but it satified my veg-out craving nicely. And seriously, the last time I had an OldTeeVee set in the house three years ago, I’m pretty sure the exact same Real World/Road Rules challenge was playing.
So here’s my question for you: what’s the last regular old TV program you watched, and what were the circumstances? TiVo is cheating. Headline News on the tube above the treadmill at the gym is cheating.
