Mark, SNL is on Foxtel... on the comedy Channel... I watch it sometimes
I don't mind the original CSI... and Law and Order...other than that... CSI Miami is gold for the Caruso factor.

Anyone interested in 250 disks of Commodore games and programs and a couple of 64's and a 128, all in operating condition? (I still have the printer cass drive etc.) I hauled it all out a couple of years ago and we had a lot fun playing the old games with the primitive graphics!
I still use the 13" video monitors, one's in the train room and the other is in use at my A/V workbench. They've out lasted all my other TVs and monitors!
BTW I've seen plenty of low budget rubbish Australian TV too! Every country is guilty of producing plenty of crap tv.

Obviously neither of you have seen Mail Call hosted by R. Lee Emery on the history channel. Quite a gem of a program, but still not enough to outwieght the literal ton of crud on all the other channels.

marknewton wrote: james saunders wrote:Mark, SNL is on Foxtel... on the comedy Channel...OK. I'll revise that statement - SNL has never been broadcast on free-to-air television. As for Foxtel, Citizen Rupert has quite enough money already. He's not getting any of mine. (At any rate, where I live we're lucky to get the ABC*!)Cop you later,Mark.*Australian Broadcasting Corporation. At 8 cents a day, it's overpriced.
Just thought i'd point it out... I only got foxtel for the comprehensive sports coverage, and the doco's...

The man is the very definition of annoying (perhaps that's just his on-screen persona), and as for the show itself - the commercials are the best part! If that's considered a gem, then a horse apple necklace must be absolutely priceless!
To each their own, but WOW, you have to be the FIRST person I have ever met that thinks Emery is annoying. It might be that I have been surrounded by military my whole life. Where you ever active duty?

But I DO llike Emery in some things other than Mail Call. He always plays the same over-acted drill sergeant personality though, as far as I know.
Wow, what is the topic here? Srayed a bit didn't we. Thats ok.
I must say that after resizing my pics I get through some of my threads on other sites a bit quicker and the picks are't soooo big.
I'm sure this was keeping may people from looking and reading my threads.

If you only get one channel, then how do you know that most TV is crap? :P

Actually yeah it does. I really don't know, or rather didn't know, very many non-active duty personell and everyone I know thinks Emery is a trip. I guess I will chalk you up as #2 then :)

Well sir, I applaud your Will to support your nation, even if the Way didnt pan out. I must comment that that is leaps and strides beyond what most can say!
I elected not to enlist as well (though the Navy did promise me Nuclear Power officer's school if I would enlist).
Well, as an Nuke Electrician Vet, I hereby dub thee an Honorary Nuke & Eng-Dept Friend... even if you were trying to go to the Dark Side, aka O-Ganger :)
But I have worked defense and aerospace all my life, so I have been around active duty personnel pretty much constantly. Not the same thing, I know, but I AM familiar with military hardware, and have designed my fair of it as well. For whatever that's worth.
Thats worth a lot, actually, as I too am now working the support side of the Military. A lot more goes on behind the scenes that I realized when I was active duty!
Oh yeah! He's type cast and he knows it. That what makes him so fun. A viewer is not supposed to laugh with him & at his jokes, one is supposed to laugh AT him because he is so unreal.

I love how a conversation can flow from one topic to another so seamlessly :) always interesting to see where the thread ends up!
But even those of us with broadband appriciate a fast loading thread!
