Yes, it does. I don't have to watch shows that are offensive. However, one
does not expect things like the Superbowl to offensive. Programs that are
billed as suitable for families should be just that -- suitable for
families.

So CBS has now given you at least 2 reasons to never watch them again. What
was Gomer Pyle's famous saying again?

I don't remember it. I'm sure it was both appropriate and funny.

No, I don't watch CBS any more. In fact, I probably have not watched
anything on CBS in over a year. They simply have not had any programs that I
found interesting. I think "Law and Order" was the last show they did that
held any interest for me at all, and I could hardly be called a regular
viewer of that. Didn't that show originate on A&E? I did not even watch the
Superbowl (for one thing, I don't have much time for TV, or even golf, for
that matter). I can't remember when the last time was I got to enjoy the
Superbowl, but it has been several years, maybe decades.

Broadcast television mostly annoys me because of the abundance of
commercials. Granted, the commercials are usually better than the shows, but
after you have watched the Gecko park his little sports car in the "Employee
of the Month" parking space about a thousand times you begin to wish for a
little originality.

Besides, I hold GEICO in about the same low esteem as I do Farmers: a lot of
bragging about low cost and good service, neither of which are true, and
never a mention of how quick they are to deny a claim and cancel your
insurance. I mean, who wants an insurance company that will cancel you if
you have a radar detector in your car (not that I actually have a radar
detector, you understand -- everybody tells me I drive like an old woman,
but it is the principle of the thing)?

Lol - it was something to the effect of :
"fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice, shame on me!"

And let's not forget the constant barrage of "ask your doctor about..." ads
from the drug companies. Isn't the doctor's job to tell YOU what to take?
Lol!

I disconnected cable a long time ago and never looked back. Nowadays I
usually only turn the TV on for new "Simpsons" episodes, and "Red Green" on
PBS
