Local Forecast / Re: Christmas 2011 Playlist

« on: December 14, 2011, 09:47:16 PM »

I'm so sick of TSO (on TWC and radio). A few years ago I loved them, but they have been overplayed.

Really? I've never heard about them until 2007 when their music first appeared on TWC's Christmas playlist

They play that "Carol of the Bells" song here a lot during Christmas. I was really into them for a few years. Then TWC started playing them a lot, and I got tired. They're an easy artist to get tired of since their songs sound a lot alike.

If the archives were to be updated, would the old content not seen on the current layout still be on the archive section?

Yes

Yeah, "PBS Kids" had a lot of good cartoons shown during the afternoon time; I used to watch them all the time.  As Eric said, even the cartoons were more intelligent than those you see on channels such as Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network today.

Agreed. I think we can do without the liberal propaganda on Sesame Street, but whatever. Curious George is great. Much better than the version I watched when I was little.

PBS is for old people?  Grannies watch "Sesame Street"?  PBS, as you said, is for intelligent programming, though age has nothing to do with it.  Children watch during the daytime, and adults watch in the evening and at night.

Oh yah, I forgot about the kiddie shows. PBS has children's programming during the day and programming for old people at night.

Poor programming and bad movies have less to do with advertising and more to do with the target audience. Adam Sandler movies are primary directed towards children and man-children. So you primarily get juvenile humor. PBS, on the other hand, is primarily directed towards old people. So the programming is more intelligent.

Not surprising. I've never found him to be all that funny. And that movie looks terrible. It's like he's trying to be the white Tyler Perry.

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

I moved into the first house of my own about a month ago. During the five or so years I was at my apartment, I was without a local forecast and didn't get TWC HD. Now that I'm in a covered area, I have Cox Cable again. I was bored today (there never seems to be anything on when I want to watch TV) and tuned to TWC. Needless to say I was amazed. Aside from the logo, three OCMs, and parts of the Intellistar, there was NOTHING about the channel that I recognized! Then I tuned into TWC HD (I had to purchase a new TV when I moved). The clarity is nice, but WOW! Talk about sensory overload!! I swear, there wasn't a graphic on it that wasn't animated! It was so rediculous that I actually laughed out loud at some of it. For example, on the 5 day outlook, there's a neon snake (as best I can describe) that goes up and down where the temperatures are listed. What exactly is the point of that?

I've added a poll (obviously), for those of you that have an opinion, but don't want to comment.

After experiencing much frustration with constant changes to sites I frequent (YouTube, Google, and Facebook), I have decided to add an "archives" area to the site. This will contain a slightly modified version of the site from last year (see attached screen shot). This way, features that no longer exist on the current site will still be available to you, such as the Way Back Play Back. The only thing I'm not able to bring back is the forums. The database backup I saved was corrupt/incomplete, leaving hundreds of topics blank.

My only question is whether or not it would make sense to update the pages that still exist. For example, there have been numerous videos added to the "local forecast" area in the past year. Would it be helpful to have those updates reflected in the archived area? Or would you prefer to use it to only view content that no longer exists?

Since they don't cite any sources, I assume it's just their opinion.

Interesting. No wonder I only vaguely remember New York being NY City.
