wraithfodder | 500 Channels and nothing to watch... + image editor question

Sure seems that way. With Stargate Atlantis basically off the air until July (the 5pm ones don't count much for me as I work and am usually stuck in traffic when Shep and his team are fighting off Wraith). CSI is coming back, but the CSI: Miami episode was a bit transparent. And most shows won't debut their new episodes until April sometime, which meant I've watched a number of movies I wouldn't have bothered with, and have discovered the joys of the Food Channel (although the only shows I really like are the ones where they visit various diners and stuff around the country - like the place that makes deep-fried battered pickles). I'm pretty I've seen all the Law & Orders now; they play all the time!

I also let the TV run doing checkbook stuff. I think the Spike Channel show Most Amazing Videos is where they put all the footage of all the really stupid dense things that men (99%) do. The one I saw was 'dangers of the deep' in which people totally ill-equipped to go out surfing get trashed, or stupidly race a speed boat at 138mph and then crash. Lots of broken bones and they all survive, but only 1 out of 5 seems smart enough to go "okay, survived that, I'll quit while I'm ahead." The strangest thing, although maybe not anymore in this day and age, is that someone is always there with a video camera (maybe they were thinking Spike might pay for footage of people crashing on rocks, hmmm....) Anyway, the stupidest guy was the one who was hand-feeding a moray eel a hotdog. guess what appendage got bit off? Yup, his thumb, but lucky for him, they took a toe and replaced it and it worked.

But, I found a channel that is now broadcasting Canadian shows, so late Saturdays are now fun! The show is ReGenesis, starring Peter Outerbridge, whom I've always liked (and for once, he doesn't die as he usually does in other stuff), followed by Cold Squad and then DaVinci's Inquest, so I let the DVR run and watch later. Don't know how long this has been playing but ReGeneis has four seasons, so hopefully I'll catch up eventually.

SciFi channel. Well, fortunately Doctor Who is coming back in one form or another in about two weeks, making Friday nights worth watching again! :) I've tried BSG several times but, nope, it doesn't click for me. Meanwhile, I don't know how they do it, but every week Skiffy finds worse and worse movies to air.

Meanwhile, is the freebie Photoshop Express decent? I just saw they rewrote a legal clause after being flooded witih complaints. But i was wondering.. I took a quick peek and it seemed to take a while to load; is regular photoshop (the er, smaller version) just as slow?

I want my shows back! There is nothing on. Torchwood is my last holdout and that is ending soon. At least Moonlight and Dr. Who will be making an appearance soon. Hubby will watch BSG, but it doesn't thrill me. We do watch the Food Network and DIY a lot. I like Alton Brown on FN. I don't bother with any Scifi movies. Hubby watches old Cary Grant movies over over. I need a break!!! I have actually made a rule that we watch at least one movie in a weekend that neither one of us has seen. We watched The Great Year and The Pursuit of Happiness last weekend. I guess I need to pick out something for tomorrow.

Ah, Cary Grant. My fav of his is Arsenic & Old Lace!

That one amazingly enough was the only Cary Grant movie I had ever watched until I met my hubby and it was the only one he had never seen.

Last night was a good example......
He and Teyla were off world.....and they had a falling out about it....I must admit that
I took his side, before and after he agreed
to wait awhile longer, but bottomline is
when the bucks stops, it stops at his door, not hers.
He IS after all CO of military ops for Atlantis....and
as such he has final say.........what he said made total
sense, but it seemed like she was not listening...
If she cannot deal with that, then she ought to reconsider
if she wants to stay with his team.....

Which channel is showing the Canadian shows?

For me, WCTX, which is part of the MyNine package. Used to be called something else but everybody is always changing names.

I get an equivalent channel, but mine seems to be showing mostly real people doing really stupid things on video. Bummer.

I'm so desperate and apathetic that I've just spent the last hour and a half watching what my brother-in-law calls "tat TV"... yup, the craft programmes on Ideal World and Create & Craft! :lol: Dear god, I'm watching shopping channels. And what's worse.. I've gone ahead and bought something of one of them! :lol:

Though, to be fair, it's a lovely set of oriental papers and embellishments for only £15. :D

Think I'll go and put on some Dr Who DVDs instead and help rampl up my fever pitch of excitement for the new series premiering in SIX DAYS!!!! :D

See, you get it before us Americans, so you get to lord it over the rest of us, Ali. ;)

I continue to be amazed at how awesome TW has been this season!

I currently don't have cable and/or satelite, so I rely on the 'Net to keep me going.

Oh, ReGenesis - it's a pretty good show. It makes you think and it tackles stuff that can actually happen - esp. the flu storyline.

CSI Miami - I constantly laugh at the ME - she never, ever wears her mask, it's always perfectly draped over her chest, her lipstick is usally a perfect to her maroon scribs & her hair is just always so smooth looking - never a hair out of place. I like the aspect of the show, but give the ME a better sense of reality, eh? :-p

Heh. Yeah, it's the one cool programme we get before you guys and our one chance to gloat at having seen it first! :lol:

You're watching shopping channels? Oh dear.... of course, I'm watching people nearly kill themselves on Spike TV, so I can't really say anything ! ;)

Have you tried watching the old MacGuyer eps on CBS.com./// I've been watching and love it... reminds me of my youth!

I've found myself prowling the SUndance Channel and the like and finding some interesting indie movies to watch lately. I should check out MacGyver. Do they have the one where he stepped in the bear trap and the two little old ladies were tending to him?

Speaking of Dr. Who....
