  You're a mean one, ABC

  Last night I settled in to watch my favorite Christmas cartoon... How the Grinch Stole Christmas which was being aired by ABC before they aired Shrek the Halls. I have nothing against Shrek, but it's nothing like the pure genius of Dr. Seuss and Chuck Jones (not to mention the priceless narration/voice work of Boris Karloff). Since the Grinch is an older cartoon, it runs longer than the current 30 minute shows. ABC decided to cut parts of it in order to show all the commercials AND have it end by 8:30, so they could show the Shrek cartoon.

  Bah humbug!

  I'm sure lots of folks didn't even notice, but I've seen that cartoon countless times (I have it on tape as well) and I know exactly what parts were missing - parts of the Grinch's ride into Whoville and his ascent to the top of Mount Crumpit.

  Bah humbug!

  DTV is a WASTE!

  DTV is a hoax. With the converter box, we no longer get CBS or ABC. Even with the DTV we have there's no CBS. This is an improvement? Not to mention that both of our VCRs are now useless because they have analog tuners. DTV is a huge step BACKWARDS.
