TV green dream hits the road

Oh what a relief! No more Living With Ed on Planet Green. I can take it off the “blocked” channel list now.

Cable’s Planet Green to change name, program focus – CBS News

NEW YORK — Planet Green is changing course.

Its corporate parent, Discovery Communications, announced Wednesday that the cable channel will change its emphasis on nature and ecology and focus instead on the country’s spirit and culture under the new name of Destination America.

…Destination America will tackle subjects including American cuisine — from Tex-Mex to barbeque — and American mysteries from Jesse James’ lost fortune to Area 51. Other shows will visit amusement park thrill rides and Western ghost towns.

I guess that “green” is out, travel is in. To the planes!

Bah, the Travel Channel already covers it, so they’re going to pretend to capture that market? Lame.

They’re just officially acknowledging what they’ve already done. They’ve been cutting their “green” programming back to nothing over the past year.

The only TV show I like are reruns from Two and A Half Men. And the only reason I watch that one is the shoot from the hip banter coming out of Jake and Charlie’s mouth. The other characters are fillers. The fact that no mention is ever seriously made regarding environmentalism is a plus. Other than that, I watch old movies and read. Lots. Most of the time my TV sits as a rather expensive modern Art depiction of “dark”.

“Other than that, I watch old movies”
Old movies are the best; the actors engage in conversation that can be heard and the dialogue actually adds to the plot of the movie. Remarkable!

Straight to the point and well written! Why can’t everyone else be like this?
