I started a post about hipsters, and then a post about The Bachelorette, but ultimately decided on just letting people know what it is exactly I watch on television, when I do watch it.
Formerly, as of prior summers and so on, I was flipping between four channels, those being:
YTV [www.ytv.com] - a channel that was once mostly cartoons
Teletoon [www.teletoon.com]- a channel for kids and also older kids
Family [www.family.ca] - basically the Disney channel in Canada
MuchMusic [www.muchmusic.ca] - Canadian MTV
These offered a pretty even mix of cartoons and music videos, and a mostly equal ratio that I could deal with. However, upon coming back to Toronto after a year away, I was shocked by a few drastic changes.
-YTV thought it would be really cool if they appealed to an older audience, so they now broadcast shows "for teens" which are not cartoons and not that great.
-Teletoon's cartoons aren't funny or exciting anymore. Those are really the only two categories for comics that there are.
-MuchMusic used to play music videos. What happened? Now most of the blocks are filled with crappy shows and dramas.
Oh Family, what would I do without you? The Summer of '09 has rolled about and I am mostly stuck with reruns of shows that continue to be good, a la The Weekenders, Filmore, and Recess. I have also recently started watching the cooking channel, because I like watching people cook food. The Deadliest Warrior [on Spike TV] was good while it was around, if not a little cheesy.
Oh well, that's what the internet is for- right?

On the internet I have watched almost all of the fifth season of The Office, the first season of Invader Zim, and the second season of The Guild.
ReplyDeleteI recommend all of these to you, whoever you are.
