If B-A can talk about TV, than so can I.

Three television seasons ago, from 5:00 (when I get home from work) through 8:00, I could watch the following:

5:00 -- "King of the Hill"
5:30 -- "The Simpsons"
6:00 -- "The Simpsons"
6:30 -- [nothing much]
7:00 -- "Friends"
7:30 -- "Frasier"

Last season wasn't up to those standards, but it was okay:

5:00 -- [nothing much]
5:30 -- "The Simpsons"
6:00 -- "The Simpsons"
6:30 -- [nothing much]
7:00 -- [nothing much]
7:30 -- "Friends"

And then there's this season, where I will give you the most interesting show -- on any of the seven stations we get in -- for every time period:

5:00 -- "Sesame Street"
5:30 -- "Sesame Street"
6:00 -- "The Bernie Mac Show"
6:30 -- whatever national news I feel like watching
7:00 -- "Wheel of Fortune"
7:30 -- "Jeopardy"

Other than "Bernie Mac," which can be pretty entertaining, there isn't one of these shows that I would voluntarily watch on a regular basis. "Friends" is on the UPN affiliate from 7:00-8:00, but we can't get a decent UPN signal in our house. Fox has moved "The Simpsons" has moved to 11:30p-12:30a, which means for the first 30 minutes it competes with the good half of "Letterman" -- and in second half-hour, it necessarily kicks "King of the Hill," which used to be the midnight show, to 2:00. In the morning. Let me hear you say ugh.
