That's better, I knew the version I had seen had "incompetence" in there.

1) Is there anything that happens today which doesn't instantly generate a
conspiracy theory to explain it?

2) How does anyone find enough programming worthwhile enough to care about
reception quality? If I were only able to watch a few hours of TV a week
that would probably be fine, just so long as This Old House and a couple of
other shows were on the list. Most of the rest lives up to the old "vast
wasteland" description the chairman of the FCC used so appropriately in
1961.


One program that we enjoy every week is CBS Sunday Morning with Charles
Osgood. We used to record the program by VCR and have now changed to
DVR. Sunday Morning finally switched to an hi-def format last year.

Castle and The Good Wife are excellent drama programs this year, IMHO.
And Glee is pretty interesting too -- just about the only show we watch
on Fox. We also enjoyed Raising the Bar on TNT until it was abruptly
canceled. I'm a college football fan and really enjoyed the games in HD.
We are looking forward to the Winter Olympics in February. PBS has some
fine programming, but you have to pick and choose carefully.
