Re: Public Access
said by Austinloop  :In the two years since I fired T/W and got Dish, I have not had any withdrawal from Public Access. I suppose if one wants to watch the local silly council and others posture, it is a loss, but for me, NO!!!! Well, wait until you are homebound senior and the city council is discussing a property tax raise on your house and then see what you think of those silly council meetings on the PEG channels....

The Tom Green show was first on public access in my area, long before he ever had any exposure outside of Ottawa. Whatever your opinion of his so called "humour", he was given a chance that he would never have received otherwise. It's a good way to keep television from becoming a bland monolith with every show adhering to the same tired old ideas. "Oh lets have this group of friends who are all very different and living in ten thousand dollar a month apartments in downtown Manhattan." "yeah! and lets make one of them really goofy and stupid, but kind at heart, and one of them can be the serious dull one." "wow yeah!" "also lets make them all date eachother at some point in time, because that's what friends obviously do." |
