Even Cable Television now is Boring :(

get starmovies, cinemax, and hbo. tere's always going to be something good between the three, usually starmovies...

What cable do you have LK? There are times where there are no interesting shows on cable or dish TV, that's true. But there are also the good days where new shows are released and even old cartoon flips are being shown! I know since my hubby's a TV lover!nyahaha!

I stopped seeing channels crammed with commercials. I prefer CNN,BBC and Discovery channels with which I’m happy.[b][/b]

I just recently got cable hooked up almost 2 months ago. Never really found the need to get one before but a cable guy who installed for a neighbor in our apartment building offered me a great deal so i decided to get one. I worked for Dish Network before and customers are always complaining about reruns. Same is true with cable. Out of all those channels, I only watch about 4 or 5 channels and they show reruns everytime. You wouldn't believe how many times I was able to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. And there are times, it suddenly loses signal.

I feel that way too sometimes but i like having cable because i get to watch not movies but shows in Discovery Channel which me and my kids love to watch. It is educational and fun too.. we love watching Ghost Lab as well. Aside from Discovery, we also watch NatGeo, AXN - i love watching CSI series and Food network where we get to watch iron chef..and other cooking shows. So it is not yet boring for me.

I agree. You should cancel cable television. I buy books and the books are 100% more interspersing than the shows on television. I also learn something from reading.

Amen to that. There are only a few shows that I like to watch. Some of them are reruns though and that gets really boring!

I've had cable since the early 1960's, but Austin did have one of the earliest cable companies in the world I think... I mostly watch history or medical or crime shows these days, or local news mostly for the weather

AGREE!!! i can even believe that some cable channels has commercial also. i mean they do have commercial, mostly what their show is their commercial but some channels has really commercials such as products and things like the local channel has. unbelievable. there are days that i regret getting a cable then all i see is nothing. my wife watched a lot of cooking and singing and dancing so she enjoys the cable channels. but me... sometimes i really get bored specially if it is full of reruns...

dear LK, Precisely,it's like having an ordinary antenna but paying an extra not worth paying for. just buy a dvd and watch movies without any commercial have a good day sis, jaiho®

Hi Letran Knight: I can't agree more with you. I actually think that tv was a good source of entertainment but nothing compares now with the internet where you can get exactly what you want at anytime you want. Now I don't watch any tv program and actually if I like a tv series I can watch it online. ALVARO

hello. I think a certain thing becomes boring or exciting depending on how a person using it perceives it to be, new things are most of the time exciting whereas old things that we have gotten use to becomes boring because there are just newer or more exciting things to do, no different when we were kids and out grew our favorite toys that seem to be very exciting when our parents first bought them for us, exciting is habitual as well as subjective, an exciting thrill or ride could become boring if you already tried it and you go seek greater highs.

i felt the same way too... cable tv during year 1996 have the following: 1. MTV - switch to music television channel if feeling boring 2. Channel[v] - my favorite music television channel 3. Channel[v]Chinese - my favorite VJ Host is Nonie Tao

Hello LetranKnight25, I don't think it's cable that's boring it may be the movies or tv shows that you are watching that may be boring, I love cable because when a movie is out in theaters they show it a few months later on cable a decade ago it took years for a new movie to be on cable, but I agree on the commercials theres commercials every 5 minutes I hate that.
