        I just discovered the cricket channel!!! I get it!!!

        I got into it because of a Dorothy Sayers novel, Murder Must Advertise. I'm fascinated now.

          I think it's part of the first tier of paid channels, yeah.

          One thing that's not on my package is The Weather Channel. I guess this is because of some ongoing p-ssing contest with Verizon. But there is an Acuweather station that when I come across it is perfectly cromulent, but for some reason it's not in my Guide so I never remember where it is. I think it may be way up in the 4-digits.

              It sounds like Disney will be required to sell off Fox’s regional sports channels for this purchase to move forward.

                          I'm more curious about why I should accept the review of a television show by someone who has acknowledged he doesn't watch said show.
                          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                              This is true.
                              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                                True, but that's because there is a final score to measure against other teams that you may be familiar with. But with something like a tv show, movie, stage play, music concert, etc..., you might guess the show is bad based upon past experience and who is participating, but until you really watch it yourself I don't know that you can make an informed review. At least I'm not going to trust your review of it.
