TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Is cable TV going downhill?

« on: March 21, 2012, 08:17:41 PM »

I believe it has. I remember when TBS aired old tv shows like The Andy Griffith Show, The Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island, Happy Days, Sanford and Son, Leave it to Beaver and other old shows. Then, TVLand had those shows, not even TVLand has all those shows anymore.

Gilligan's Island was my show when I was a kid! I don't think I have seen an episode in over 10 years. TBS also used to show the Cosby Show, and cartoons like the Jetsons, Captain Planet (though I never really watched that), and Garfield and Friends back in the day.

There is a narrow line of seabreeze showers and thunderstorms extending from Ft Myers all the way up to near Tallahasse.

Public Enemy - Fight the Power. It fits with what is going on with the injustice of the Trayvon Martin murder.

"Green Onions" by Booker T & The McGs was featured on a Stacy's Pita Chips commercial.

I heard a version of that in a Depends commercial.

David Sanborn Chicago Song

I wonder if this song ever played on TWC. It would be surprising if it didn't.

I heard a snippet of Linus and Lucy on a Metlife commercial.

Depends on which version of that song though

It was the original version.

How do I even describe this one?!

I actually like that idea with the squeezeback. 

You have to be aware that I didnt dub that though

I know that, I was just saying that sometimes they could play music on the L-bar.  I think someone on here mentioned that a while back. They should make sure that doesn't happen when talking about major events such as tornadoes or severe weather though.

Back to back 80 degree days in March.   

I actually saw that on the local weather report today! At the time it was only 6 degrees cooler than Tampa!

For those wondering, the songs on the IS's internal playlist are unchanged. I heard "Return of the Eagle" at 6:28 PM ET.

Great! If it continues we can finally hear some smooth jazz again (at least those with IS)!

I hope you all realize that this thread will close for the season in six days.  We're moving to the Front Porch on March 20 as spring begins at 1:14 AM EDT that day, but it almost feels like spring is already here.

It has felt like spring here in Florida since December, outside of a few cold snaps.

I don't know where that came from, but I am not trying to have any beef, and let's not make this political imp.
