Here's a place to talk about things that are not related to Big Brother.

No one answered in the regular TV show area, so maybe the busier BB area will bring an answer. In the KC area, Time Warner cable is is supposed to drop our local CBS station, KCTV5 as well as KSMO, at midnight tonight. They have been scrolling the warning across the bottom of the screen for like a month, and they scrolled it across the bottom for all of the BB show tonight. I'm in the KC viewing area, but I have comcast, so the warning isn't for me, but I was wondering if any of our members do have Time Warner in the KC area. There's only about an hour and 10 minutes until it's supposed to drop and I wonder if it will actually happen. Please let me know if they do drop it. I am so curious if they really would drop a local major station.

During the winter one of the dish companies had a dispute with FOX and no one could watch Idol or football playoffs. This was in So.Fl..Naja, if you live near a major city, you probably could get CBS with an antenna because it's not a cable network.

Jag, like I said in my post, I have comcast, so it doesn't affect me. I'm just curious if it will actually happen to others in my area who do have TW cable. Also, I already have 2 TVs set up for OTA for when cable occasionally goes out, so I am set if happens to me.

I missed the first 2 episodes of BB because CBS was taken off in our area (WV) for about 3 weeks. It's all about the $$$.

I have Comcast when I'm in Fl. and I like it. The only fault I have is that they charge way too much for the Internet, but you do get free Norton with it.

Yikes, it seems like Dish is the worst on this channel dropping situation. I read an article the other day saying that it's good for consumers if our tv providers drop channels, so that way we can demand lower rates. But JEEZ, sometimes you actually DO want to keep the channel.

Naja, I just saw your post re: Time Warner. I live in KC and have Time Warner. They did make a deal with CBS before the midnight deadline, thank goodness. We were without ABC for about 10 days though. They finally resolved that one also. I have never had a problem like this before and I've them as they have changed names for 30 years plus.

Two strings walk into a bar.... Bartender says..."Hey...we don't serve strings in here, you two will have to leave". So both head out the door. Outside, one string gets very angry and states to the other "We are just as good as any other thread in that joint..this is just so not fair!!!" So the string folds itself over a couple of times and pulls itself up tight, ruffles out both of its ends, big and fluffy, then marches boldly back into the bar... The bartender looks up a bit surprised and says "Aren't you one of those strings I just threw outta here?" "No", replied the string angrily, "I'm a frayed knot!!"

Doug and Tom were out walking their dogs about sunset on a beautiful, warm summer night. Doug had a German Shepherd and Tom had a Chihuahua. As they crested a steep hill, they could see a couple of neon beer signs glowing in the window of a bar. Doug says, "let's stop in for a beer." Tom says, "We can't go in their with our dogs." Doug says, "Watch this." He takes his dark glasses out of his pocket and puts them on his face. He walks into the bar, sits down, and orders a beer. The bartender kind of looks at the dog, then figures it must be a seeing eye dog, so he gets the beer for Doug. So, Tom puts his dark glasses on, goes in and sits down at the bar, and orders a beer. The bartender says, "Get the hell out of here! We don't allow dogs in here!' Tom says, "That other guy has a dog." The bartender says, "That's a seeing eye dog." Tom says "My dog is a seeing eye dog, too." The bartender says "A Chihuahua seeing eye dog?" Tom says "They gave me a Chihuahua?"

Okay, one more.... -------------- The teacher gave her class an assignment to go home and get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories. Kathy said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the pickup when we hit a bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess. The teacher said, "And what's the moral of the story?" "Don't put all your eggs in one basket!" replied Kathy. "Very good," said the teacher. "Now Lucy what is your story?" "Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. One time we had a dozen eggs that a hen was hatching, but when the eggs hatched we only got ten live chickens. And the moral to this story is don't count your chickens until they're hatched." "That was a fine story Lucy." Johnny do you have a story to share?" "Sure do. My dad told me this story about my uncle Bob. My uncle Bob was a pilot in Vietnam and his plane got hit by a SAM missile. He had to bail out over enemy territory and all he had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a machete. He drank the whiskey on the way down and then landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. He killed seventy of them with the machine gun until he ran out of bullets, then he killed twenty more with the machete 'til the blade broke and then he killed the last ten with his bare hands. "My goodness," said the horrified teacher, "What kind of moral did your father give you from that horrible story?" Johnny smiled brightly and replied, "Don't ever f**k with Uncle Bob when he's been drinking."

If you can tear yourselves away from the BB drama, see my post in Other Reality Shows under Biggest Loser. I know there are a few fans here.

Any NFL Football fans here? I run a season long game every year on TVCH. We have LOTS of fun! I've opened up the game for this week's Pre-season Week 1 picks HERE. Come on in and play and see how you like it. Pre-season is just for fun and practice. We don't start the serious play until the Regular Season. The main page of the game is HERE. You'll find threads explaining how the Game is played, what the rules are, and a thread to discuss things (as well as set up an optional team within TVCH). The more the merrier! Come on in and play along!
