TWC Fan Art / Re: Weatherlover's Artwork

Nothing fancy, just an idea since it appears quite a few of you liked the large LDL used 2 years ago. In retrospect I miss it too. The design of the LF is loosely based off of WKRN-TV (Nashville, TN)

Didn't Kristina Abernathy leave on her own terms too? I don't remember her being apart of the layoffs with Dave, Cheryl and Ebony. She left around the same time I think though, can't remember. This old brain ain't what it used to be.

If it wasn't for the sun coming back out a couple of hours ago, we wouldn't have reached 70 today, which would have been 15 degrees below average. Very weird for June.

73, partly cloudy. KATL is saying overcast, but it's not cloudy here, it's more fair to partly cloudy outside my home.
Man, why can't it be like this all summer long.

The browser wars continue.  Firefox just put out version 13 today, and Chrome recently sent version 19 to the public.  It's getting to the point that we might as well can the version numbers or start over.

I've went back in Internet Explorer 9. I cannot stand the other browsers anymore. Google Chrome and Firefox won't load any videos for me and all flash refuses to load. Quite frustrating see how they're all supposed to be superior to internet explorer (so some say).

Chrome works very well for me. (for the most part) I only use IE9 as a Plan B backup.

I do wish Nicole the best in this matter. NBC and TWC are going to get a lot of negative press about this, so I wouldn't be surprised if they try to settle out of court. Personally, I want to see this go to trial.

That's most likely what will happen. Glad she's doing this, I would sue their butts too.

He was great guy with an explosion of friendly and humorous charisma. He'll surely be missed. 

I had seen that video about the lady giving the answer September to that pregnancy question before, but it was even more funnier seeing it again this time around. I wonder if GSN is gonna honor Richard Dawson in the same way they did for Dick Clark?

There was a song around 12:58pm today that kinda had a Chet Atkins vibe to it, it was instrumental whoever it's by.

EDIT: Nevermind I figured it out, it was "Hellecasters Theme" by The Hellecasters

Conditions are similar here in the downtown area, so I figured I might as well use Hartsfield Int'l Airport's current conditions.

General Discussion / Re: Other TV you watch besides TWC

« on: June 03, 2012, 12:44:52 AM »

This list is long so bare with me please. 

ABC - Local news mainly, also Shark Tank and What Would You Do? Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (before it was cancelled) Wipeout sometimes (LOL, I read my last comment I made about this show, it turned out to be a lot better and funnier than I expected. )

FOX - "Occasionally" watch Animation Domination on Sundays. That show Bob's Burgers is pretty good, it had to grow on me first though. Kitchen Nightmares, Master Chef, and Hell's Kitchen. (I'm pumped for the last two to be returning this summer. )

MyAtlTV - If I need a good laugh I look at Jerry Springer sometimes. 

TBS - If I'm having a sleepless night, I'll watch Married With Children reruns (like this morning for example)

ABC Family - Boy Meets World; used to watch Still Standing and Full House on here too.

TruTV - Only when I have nothing to do and there's not much on I'll watch Most Daring/Shocking. I also watch Impractical Jokers, I'm a fan of that show. Some of those pranks they pull on people I'm surprised they haven't been slapped or gotten their butts beaten, but it's still hilarious so I don't care.

Travel Channel - Loved watching Man v. Food, I watch the spin off Food Nation sometimes. I also sometimes watch those food paradise specials like Rib Paradise, Burger Paradise, Fried Food Paradise, etc. The Hot Dog one featured a longtime local hot dog joint here called the Varsity.

Adult Swim - I watch The Boondocks, American Dad, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Home Movies (just like The Oblongs and Baby Blues this seems to be shown as a seasonal thing) Family Guy (if it's not an episode that sucks.) King of the Hill, Squidbillies, Robot Chicken, Delocated, Children's Hospital (sometimes, this is one of those shows where you have to like stupid/slapstick comedy) I'm not much of a fan of anime, but I used to watch Case Closed, Inuyasha, and this other show that started with a K, my memory is fuzzy on what it was about when they were on AS.

Comedy Central - Mainly watch South Park and Futurama. I used to watch MadTV when it was syndicated on there.

The channels below this is the channels I used to watch all the time when we used to have all the digital cable channels.

Boomerang - Ah, childhood memories getting to watch The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby Doo again, the list can go on and on. I'm disappointed to hear they're going mainstream too, showing more current cartoons rather than just the oldies.

Nicktoons - Same as Boomerang.

The N (Teenick) - Hasn't been the same since the name change, they used to appeal to more mature audiences now they appeal to the tweens. I see Degrassi is still going strong, I used to watch that show a lot when the original cast was there, they were more hardcore on the issues, saw a recent episode out of curiosity and you can tell they're really phoning it in. I also used to watch Radio Free Roscoe, and Catlin's Way(?) I think it was called.

As a sidenote: I used to love watching Spongebob, but once I got into middle school the show got too stupid even for me and I'm someone who doesn't mind watching some stupidity in the form of comedy. I had to stop watching, I was losing too many brain cells.

EDIT: Forgot about Comedy Central.

Nope, January 2000.

Kelly Cass is an on-camera meteorologist at The Weather Channel®. She first appeared on air at The Weather Channel in January 2000.

Well that shut me up, I wasn't that sure anyway.  Hmm, I see she got an award for storm coverage of the Superstorm '93. I would love to see some footage of that. Heck, I would like to see some news coverage video of that storm from my area, there's very little if any when searching around.

I think Kelly showed up in 1999 along with Carl, Paul, and Heather.

I like that My Morning Jacket song. 

Is it instrumental?

It starts off that way, but no, but I still like it anyway.
