Ultra Basic Cable + Syndication =




Anyone that knows me knows that deep down I am a sucker for well placed marketing. I once made myself sick eating McDonald's every day because they had the Monopoly game going.



King of The Hill was the first show that T.V. forced me to watch. A few years ago my local Fox affiliate sandwiched it between The Simpsons and therefore gave me no choice but to watch it every day. I had been reluctant to watch King of The Hill until this point. I really didn't have a reason for this, I just didn't think that it would be funny. I slowly warmed to it's hillbilly hysterics and Bobby Hill has become one of my favorite characters in T.V. history.


Sometimes I get home from work early. Regardless of the time when I get home I have no desire to do anything. Sure, I probably should read or something but whatever all I want to do is kill some brain cells. There isn't really anything on until 6 but at 4:30 Reba is on. That's right, I said Reba. I was cruising the channels one day and thought, what the hell. It turns out that this show is also fairly hilarious. I'm less cool for admitting this I know...


The new show that I never thought I would like is Two and a Half Men. Again, a show I would never have watched if the T.V. hadn't forced me. I don't think it's a milestone in the history of television but it has it's moments. Like King of The Hill the little kid is what does it for me. He's a lot like Bobby Hill except real. And Duckie is funny.


Maybe I should watch less T.V.

LESS TV!?! I didn't get where I am today by watching less TV. Shame on you sir. As punishment you should have to get rid of that dreary excuse for cable service that you currently have and resort to rabbit ears for one month.

Yeah, King of the Hill is most definitely awesome. And Two and a Half Men is also surprisingly good. If I had cable or rabbit ears (I keep meaning to get one), it's one of the shows I'd be watching.
