Off topic - what do you watch

LOL - I was replying to Karen, who had replied to Bruce. Although I bet Bruce is clever enough to get PBS off the net, or some shortwave radio .

Every moment of SportsNight was golden. Quotable lines, as you say, good watching. One of the very early ones with Jeremy having to go deer hunting still breaks my heart.

Some time ago I tried to seek out online USA radio stations but all I could find were stations playing those awful, depressing Country & Western songs that made you feel like going out and slitting your wrists. However, spurred on by Ellice's confidence in my abilities I tried again just now and found this gem

Since we don't have a commercial classical station, our Public station plays classical music, and leaves the news/talk to others.

My technique is to google up Radio + (city name) + webcast. If I can't find something I like, then I google a different city.

Hi Cheryl

If you have the choice I know not in cable TV but like Direct TV and other Satelite you could watch a show from a Brazil in the Morning is everithing about stiching and Sewing. I don't understant portuguese but the show Is nice to see and give you a lot of ideas and techniques.

Also from another south american channel they have crafts shows and most of them is about kniting and stiching.

I hope this help you. I miss this shows because I have digital cable.

And here I'll offer some shameless plugs:

1.) DH does a radio show on Sunday evenings from 5-7 EST that is webcast at wtmd.org (Towson University, Maryland, radio station). Folk/world music - and delightful, if I say so myself! 2.) - webcast radio from Kent State University, Ohio.

Enjoy! Sue

You can try

- the full range of programmes areavailable there and most are downloadable, podcasts etc. Between theCovers is nice, a bedtime book, I love Vinyl Cafe, Quirks and Quarksand many more.

You can always pick up classicfm.com which is the BBC classic station. A bit on the light side, but nice nonetheless.

Which reminds me...Dave Crossland will be in Frederick, MD on March 2nd. I'm likely to be there...might make it girls' night out.

Best wishes, Ericka

Another one I used to enjoy but no longer watch. It just wasn't the same after Sabrina Lloyd left. And they started to become predictable - the death of my interest in any show.

I didn't help that I could never find a way to warm up to the 'Don' character. He was just so bloody dull and the actor so flat.

Oh, yes, how they lured the dear -- I'm not anti-responsible hunting, but that was heartbreaking.

"Some people may see singing 'Happy Birthday' to your partner on air as vaguely gay. I think it's sweet."

Not quite - BBC Radio 1, 2, 3 and 4 are still, thank goodness, free from commercial advertisements as are BBC1 TV & BBC2 TV. However, Classic FM is a relatively new commercial radio station which inserts advertisements in the middle of classical music. IMHO BBC Radio 3 is much preferable to Classic FM.

Then the stream must be different, I wouldn't have lasted past the first commercial ! I must go and bring it down right now and see if there is a commercial. I must get the same feed I think because I have to give my aunts postal code to get in lol

I will also try 3, love 4.

I never miss a film noir on TCM. I hate "Desperate Housewives" and was the only person in America who didn't watch Survivor. I know most MASH episodes by heart, thanks to dh. I check out the History Channel every night, usually end up with Glenn Beck. When absolutely desperate, I'll watch old Any Griffith, providing it's a BArney espisode. Cooking shows are intimidating, and most HGTV shows are completely unrealistic - like, who has 7 fat candles gracing the shower stall? Whan are you supposed to light them - before or after the shower?

I can say for a fact you were not the ONLY one.

I will admit, I have some difficulty relating to someone whose bathroom or kitchen is larger than my whole house.

And especially because my bathroom dates back to before indoor plumbing, so nothing can be moved or expanded even one inch because there's just no room. Still, hope springs eternal that I'll hit the Lotto, or one of the DuPonts will be smitten with me, and I will have the money to get a custom-built house with all these little extras like a sunken Jacuzzi bathtub.

Count me in. You are definitely not the only person in America who didn't watch Survivor, or Desperate Housewives and come to think of it, American Idol and most of the other reality shows.

And I too can probably quote most of the M*A*S*H episodes, if not all of them.

And when he said there was one large adult male deer, one slightly smaller female deer, and one baby -- recognized in any culture as a "family" -- really, it always makes me cry.

I've never seen a Survivor episode, and the verse right after that is that I never will. Why on earth people would subject themselves to such abuse is beyond me.
