T.V. Must be Sad

I think television must have hit its low point. Yesterday was prime example. First, our local Salt Lake City CBS station thought that showing the Chargers/Patriots was a better choice than the Broncos/Jaguars. Notwithstanding probably half or more of the football fans in Utah are Bronco fans. Then in the afternoon game, for whatever reason, the Fox channel shows the Chiefs/Eagles rather than the Raiders/Cowboys. I don't understand that one at all.

The Sunday night game was between two loser franchises, and was boring so we started looking for something to watch. The news channels were endlessly repeating last weeks news, the movie on the western channel was showing for at least the 25th time this month.

So starting with the local broadcast channels we started cruising the channels and you know what we finally ended up watching? You won't believe it. We watched three episodes of The Andy Griffith Show. Yep with Andy, Barney, Aunt Bea, Goober, Gomer, Opie, and all. The best thing on TV was a 50 year old black and white sitcom.

Oh my.
