Aww, come on #7 was hilarious! Every time that bass note came I couldn't help chuckling.

seefish: ha yeah well I wrote the music channels off long ago - I cant remember the last time there were videos in the day on MTV, VH1 or CMT.

Sounds like 90% of the rest of the channels on cable:

HGTV - 90% decorating crap.
BIO - hardly every shows biographies
History Channel - changed because they wanted to show things that "make history".. whatever
Noggin - which started as a really cool smart channel for kids and showed old school kids tv - is now just The "n" - which shows teeny shows all day
DIY - Barely shows do it yourself stuff any more

All these channels started to focus on a genre, and now that there is so much competition they all want to branch out. Even the Discovery Channel's logo is just D now, and dont even get me started on where all the learning went on TLC.

I can definitely see Pier 1 Imports going bankrupt soon.
