DeadTV
As of Friday at 12:01am my little hand-me-down x's 3 television will not work unless I plug a converter box into it and then buy a new digital antenna. About a month or so ago I went to the store to buy a new tv that is flat and you can hang on the wall with artwork but the tv I was going to get was sold out and the ones they had in were for $55,002.06. Today I went to the store to get a digital converter box since the gov't finally sent me my coupon to get it for $4 instead of $50.00 and of course they were out and then they were also out of the digital antenna. When I checked to see if the tv I have a raincheck for was in they said they would not have any of them in until December. Grant it I DO NOT watch television more than three hours a week, I do however try to catch the Late Show with David Letterman which is what those three hours of tv are of because there are no shows on television worth watching, not even American Idol, NCIS Miami, NCIS New York, NCIS Los Angeles, CSI Miami, CSI New York, Paula Dean. I will watch Letterman tonight if I'm home because Julia Roberts is on it and I want to see if she's aging well. I know she's had a face lift, but still, I want to see. Then I guess I'll just put my television in a box and take it to my storage unit because it won't work and I can't get the new one and the add-on parts for the old sets aren't going to be coming in anytime in the near year. Or I could keep my tv on its little entertainment center and continue to use it to watch DVDs. [UPDATE] Julia Roberts is looking great and she remains one of my favorite people in the world. Also, she is very Anti-Republicans. Yay!

thanks KS, i'm going to try a few more places wednesday.
Might I recommend Hulu.com and YouTube for your TV watching pleasure. Also, most of the networks are streaming their shows and archiving them now. I've found myself watching more TV online.
