Channel 110 has "Gidget" on.  Sally Fields, she's always happy.  What's on MeTV?  "The Exes", now there's a funny way to face divorce.  Rerun, like my life (3 marriges, ya know - all over with).  Next.  Just flip the 'dial'....Chantex comercial tellilng me the side effects of 'non smoking' chewing gum may include my mental health.  Humm.  Sure, OK.  *flip*  Sports choices?  Bowling, Bull Riding and Golf.  Oh Boy!  I mean, geeesh.  No football, and its Sunday!  Movie channels (but you'll have to focus...): Gladiator; Jack Nichelson something, gotta be serious.  Old Western flick, "Santa Fe Trail".  Wait, Ronald Regon stars in this one, you can't be serious!    HBO has "Wardens", "Warm Bodys" and "Bullet to the Head".  Man, all so serious and sad.  If not deep following focus.  Where's 'The Andy Griffith Show", or "The Jetsons"?  "Maude", "Leave it to Beaver" or "Barney Miller" when you need them....
