Last Monday was apparently "Cyber Monday," as my chemistry teacher was telling me how she got like 50 emails over the weekend about online holiday sales using the term Cyber Monday.

I'd rather watch ...science shows over everything on that list.

Me too. Discovery and History have had some really interesting shows on the planets.

Agreed. I've also been watching History International which is a little more educational than the regular History Channel, plus they show some older shows that the history channel doesn't show anymore.

I've never even heard of nearly all of those shows before. But I've seen promos for "The Event" countless times (including several on TWC), and just by judging the title I knew that show was a joke. A lot of those other titles sound silly too. Mike and Molly? $X!t my dad says? Hawaii Five-O? It looks like companies are just running out of names.

There's hardly anything I really watch on those networks anymore.

What if Sam were to bump Nicole?

Now I have no reason to watch TWC on weekends since all the good OCMs are on weekdays now (except during Ray Days)... oh well.

Will Ryan Goswick and Todd Santos be on weekend nights? That's what it appears as of this evening.

Ryan Goswick is just a freelance, so no. I'm pretty sure Kim is staying where she's at. She mentioned early this week she's spending a week on holiday.

Also Phil, do you know if Maria is co-hosting with someone, or if she's on her own?

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Using a TiVo as an alternative to Comcast DTA

« on: November 21, 2010, 05:11:28 PM »

Oh okay. But would I have to get two DTAs for my room (one for my TV and for my PC)? Or would it work just using a splitter? I understand that you can only get up to two free, and I also need one for the TV in the other bedroom.

Interesting. With Jen and Eric moving to WV, I wonder who will be on FO?

I'm thinking FO will just be a solo show with just Scott Williams. I'm surprised it's not that way already, as ratings during the 4-6am ET timeslot are rather dismal.

wtf..Lazy Day by Steve Glotzer played on a toothbrush commercial on Indian TV. I have it recorded on my DVR but I find it bizarre to hear TWC music from other countries

Especially Steve Glotzer! Although his instrumental version of Change Your Mind was used on WPVI's closed captioning sponsor bumpers back in 2005-2006.

That song is more of a summer song to me, but I agree that it is very soothing to listen to.

TWC and your Cable Company / Using a TiVo as an alternative to Comcast DTA

« on: November 21, 2010, 01:25:31 PM »

In the coming weeks Comcast will be phasing out analog cable here. Coincidentally, I was considering to get a TiVo for Christmas, and I need to know whether or not a DTA is still needed since a TiVo is a digital video recorder. This would make it easier for me to record rather than just using my computer's tuner all the time, especially if I want to timer record future shows. Thanks for any help.

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

During Saturday morning at work, a forecaster had TWC on the big-screen TV.  He and I saw Stephanie acting in a segment called "Ms. Wizard."  Seriously, when did this segment debut, and why couldn't it be saved for a long-form show rather than airing it during live time?  The two of us were laughing and rolling our eyes as Stephanie crushed a can without using her hands to demonstrate pressure.

TWC is just trying to expose that person as much as they can. Jeez, sooner or later Stephanie is gonna suffer from exhaustion and health problems if she keeps working like this.
