Hi Hacksaw,



This statement reminds me of the late seventies in the UK when TV consisted of 3 channels, which began transmitting at 9:30am and finished at 12:30pm. There was BBC1, BBC2 and ITV. BBC2 was considered to be the intellectual channel for serious TV programming. There was early morning and afternoon programming called Open University on BBC2.

The really weird thing is that I seem to remember the TV being better in those days despite the hundreds of TV channels available today. Your right, TV today does rot the brain. Thats why a really good Hi Fi is essential. (I'm listening to Atom Heart Mother as I type with a glass of Shiraz, sad I know but it better than the anything on TV at the moment.)
