#1 Who cares? No one takes CBS seriously anyway. It's their problem that the public expects this sort of adolescent behavior from them. I'd say the behavior is "unprofessional" but that would imply that someone, anyone, at NBC was attempting to uphold professional standards - haha. Now that's funny.

#2 Letterman stopped being funny long before he even made the move to CBS. There's a reason Leno won "his" Late Night slot. I think the last time I laughed at one of Letterman's gags was about 20 years ago. An over-the-hill has-been if there ever was one.

#3 I didn't realize I had the capacity for a even more diminished regard of Letterman

#4 The only person on TV that is less funny than Letterman is John Stewart. He's been doing the Daily Show so long he's starting to believe that he really is a news anchor or something.

#10 You haven't missed a damned thing.

Band of Brothers, but you could get that on DVD now anyway.

The non-traditional distributors are more entertaining without insulting your intelligence or raising your blood pressure. TLC/Discovery, et al. Dirty Jobs, Deadliest Catch, etc. The new series on the Alaskan Iditarod race looks interesting. I'm sure Todd and Sarah will probably watch.

#11 Agreed, P2K. If it weren't for HGTV, Food Network, Discovery Health, etc., I wouldn't bother with cable. Without those networks, doubt I'd bother with TV much at all.
