Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 12, 2012

Too much?500 channels and nothing’s on…

A lot of what we thought was good was drek too, I saw anold Life of Riley a few years ago. Lordy, was that bad.

The line between fantasy and reality is blurred with Ancient Aliens, 10 things You Didn’t Know, and all of Faux News.

We had three “Topsy Turvy” dish channels at the same time this spring. We pay for so many channels to allow people to try and sell us things we don’t need or want……………..

WTH is “Diamond Divers”, “Swamp People”, “Convenience Store Clerks of Bayonne” and other crud like that on HISTORY channel?

Yes, I used to LOVE Maverick with James Garner, now I can’t watch it. Same with a lot of other old shows, but “I Love Lucy” is still a keeper! Absoultely!

Just read the comics – much more educational

Go to the Web and learn something or visit GoComics.

Did anyone catch the meteor shower last night? That beat anything on TV!

Time for me to publish my new book, READING FOR DUMMIES….

if I can only have 3 channels, please make them Discovery, National Geographic and the History channel…

PBS

I prefer to collect DVDs.

Watched a 3 Stooges dvd not long ago! As I grew up I wanted to be Moe (or Curly). Big mistake!! Could only stand a few seconds. <Sigh!> It’s true -you can never go home!

The library is full of really good books.

TV was, and remains, a “vast wasteland”, with a few exceptions—and it has actually gotten worse since this cartoon was published.
