As an off-shoot of this thread, it always seems instead of getting the really cool stuff, the entertainment industry forces absolute crap on us. Even things that start out good, like AMC rapidly degenerate into things that are at best, ghosts of their former selves. So, with that thought in mind, what cable channels do fully expect to find foisted upon us? I’m thinking that we’ll have the Spam Channel. Not a network dedicated to the Hormel product, but an all informercial channel dedicated to show us how we can make big money by sending out spam emails to folks.
Ironically, my nightmare cable channel is also the one I wish they would start.
The All Reality Television Shows Network…they would put ALL that crap, on one channel, so I would never have to see it again. Sort of like the trash section of your email.
The Fear Channel - another “science” channel dedicated to explaining the countless horrible ways we’re definitely going to die very soon. Pays for itself just from the advertising revenue of antibacterial shoe polish infomercials.
My guess is going to be the “Celebrity Gambling Channel”. We already have Celebrity Poker and Celebrity Blackjack. Pretty soon, we’ll have Celebrity Slots, featuring has-been celebrities, a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other, gambling away the remainder of the fortunes and royalties, three quarters at a time. I can see Anna Nichole in the first episode…
They could also have Celebrity Football Betting, Celebrity Roulette… the list could go on and on.
The All-Tsunami channel. Seconds of sheer terror followed by decades of sheer boredom.
Good news, Musicat! That channel already exists. They just haven’t renamed it yet. Until they do, you can find it listed under its non-tsunami name, CNN Headline News.
Actually, they have that, but they can’t get very many cable systems to pick it up for some reason.
