Do you see how many posts I've made?

I really need to find something else to do all day.

I watched the American men lose the speed skating pursuit and started to flip through my trusty TimeWarner Program Guide. The Guide has lots of problems.

TWO PROBLEMS THAT THE TIMEWARNER PROGRAM GUIDE HAS THAT ARE NOT THE MAIN PROBLEM THAT I'M GOING TO WRITE ABOUT AFTER I'M DONE DISCUSSING THE TWO PROBLEMS

-It doesn't play nicely with the MNN Networks. (I have, many times, tried to watch a program called "Gorilla Black Magic Jesus." This, to me, seems to be the best show title ever. I want to see this show. But every time I tune in, MNN shows me something else. It's NOT Gorilla Black Magic Jesus, and that makes me SAD.

-The movie ratings are terrible/inconsistant. I've seen Top Gun given everything between two and three and a half stars. Between you and me, I think it deserves three.

THE MAIN PROBLEM

-I appreciate the episode summaries that that the TimeWarner Program Guide provides, but all too often they really fail to capture the episode properly. For instance, at 7:30, Fox 5 aired the third episode of the "TBS and FOX5 SEINFELD BLOCK", (with a half-hour break for Simpsons of Jeopardy) "The Big Salad" The shorthand episode description was as follows:

"Kramer helps wanted athlete flee."

Given that this is the last thing that happens in the episode, while the credits roll, and had it been on TBS it would have been confined to a tiny box, such a description cannot stand.

But I digress.

Tonight, as I looked over the evening's programming choices, I found MythBusters! The description:

"Hosts test Urban Legends."

Awesome. Don't think I've seen that one.
