Why is it that five shows or movies can be on at the same time during the day, and I have to switch back and forth between all of them at the same time, thereby understanding only 20% of what I watch, and yet at 2 in the morning, nothing is on? Nothing at all. 300-something channels, and there is not a thing to watch. I know it's cliche to say things like that, but it's so true. Even the 24-hour cartoon and comedy networks let me down. What's the point of devoting yourself 24-hours-a-day to shows that I like if you are going to run miserable garbage and infomercials in the hours when I most desperately need entertainment? I don't want or need to see or even know what the 700 Club is. I don't want a product that sucks all the air out of a bag leaving me with double my storage capacity. No matter what people used to think, Popeye and Tom and Jerry are not funny nor good cartoons. At this point in the night, all of the movie stations either run trashy, B-movie pornography (which I've already seen three or four times, in most cases), sequels to awful movies (I can't watch The Substitue 4 another time, I just can't), or shows that are entirely in foreign languages. Sometimes, you'll get a rare gem which, although not entertaining to watch, you have to stop and wonder about. For example, right now I could be watching Save the Last Dance, which is a personal favorite and all, but I don't understand why it's being aired at 2 am. Are there many people up right now who can stand that movie? I guess so, otherwise they'd broadcast a decent movie. Anyway, I'd better go. Maybe I'll find something good on.
