Screw you Gore. Screw you Bush. I have been studying for exams for 6 straight days. I just memorized a whole list of mutagens and types of mutations. This is my study break for tonight, and I planned my whole day around it. I don’t want to wait for it. The last thing I want to see is you, you idiot twins. You’ve been aggravating us for the last half year every frickin’ day and caused a large portion of our adult population to revert back to adolescence. I am sick of both of you. Some people might say that “These conferences are much more important than a simple TV series.” Yeah, Gore and Bush might say something we don’t already know :rolleyes: I hope that the next baby each of you kisses will yack up a gallon of formula and Gerber all over your fucking suits. ---

We’re getting a repeat of The West Wing here on the Dallas NBC affiliate. But we’re getting it at 7 pm CST instead of 8 pm, however. ---

Ditto, **Kepi**. I don’t get network TV - they bitch about setting aside air time for free political commercials, then ditch one of their most profitable shows for a 5 minutes ‘I quit’ speech and 25 minutes of \ commentary? Bastards :mad: ---

Kwitcherbitchin. 🙂 “Sweet Dreams” is on the Romance channel. Worth watching just for Ed Harris (and the soundtrack). Yeah, screw those guys too. ---

I find it highly ironic that we want to abandon the real political system for a fictional one. That said…GOD FUCKING DAMNIT YOU NBC PRICKS, GIVE ME MY WEST WING!!! [sub]oh, I don’t know about television, but in radio they pay political rates which is the absolute minimum a spot can run for in a time slot. Cheap, but not free. [/sub] ---

I want a playable copy of Walt Disney’s (animated) _Cinderella_. It’s for my daughter, for Christmas. VHS, please. ---

Thank you, that expresses my unhappiness about their concluding so many weeks of crap, they just _had_ to interupt my viewing of the Presidential workings I wish could actually be happening. ---

I was surprised about the last-minute change in programming as well but it was a good episode of “West Wing”! I love the tirade The President launches against the lady “doctor” radio program host. Then Sam adds insult to injury and takes one of her crab puffs! Hilarious! The first time that episode aired, I had taped it and played that scene two or three times. Excellent writing and delivery. When it first came on at 7pm (central) I was hoping they would have another episode at 8pm! That would have been grand. Oh well, had to settle for real politics. If either Al or George could put as much passion into a speech that Martin Sheen does, I think the election would have been a blow-out as opposed to the statistical tie we had. ---

[hijack] Has anyone heard of any plan to start marketing episodes of West Wing on Tape or DVD? This really qualifies as one of the only TV series I would contemplate buying the episodes from. [/hijack] ---

I’m just glad that rather than attempt to join it “in progress” – which I **DESPISE** – they’re pushing it to next week in its entirety. All the Wednesday-night NBC shows, in fact; bumped the whole night a week, so we got the “West Wing” repeat this week and we get a new one next week. Was most annoying several weeks back when they kept interrupting the show for Bush’s comments after Gore proposed the two of them meet. I forget which week it was, but the “WW” episode was the trip-to-Portland show, and of course the interruption occurred at what I imagine was a pivotal moment in Josh’s discussions with the gay Republican congressman who was pressing for the marriage law (I forget the exact intent of the law). Damn politicians!
