sorry Mr. TV man

Our 27″ Sony Wega Vegamatic TV has been on the fritz on and off for a couple of years now. When it works, it’s fine. When it doesn’t we generally ignore it and sort of skirt around the ‘do we even want a TV in our house’ issue.

Lately I’m for getting rid of it. There hasn’t been a TV series in years that I can even take seriously and I can’t take seriously people who say stuff like ‘oh, the Sopranos / Lost / Alias / 24 Hours / blahblah is the greatest thing since sliced poo…’

I mean it’s TV folks. It’s supposed to suck eggs.

This morning I watched the first two episodes of Battlestar Galactica.

Um… I take all that back.

Honey, we need a bigger and louder TV.

    BSG is cool. Watched the pilot and went out to buy the DVD set for the original series, just to get back in the mood. Was doubtful about the changes at first - a female starbuck, are they mad? - but I love it. Must try and get them all on DVD at some point because its stuff like this I don’t want my kids to miss out on when they are older.

    Hey. I like Lost. But nothing really matches up to Sliced Poo (TM).

    I measure everything based on Twin Peaks. Unless it’s Sci Fi, then it’s measured against Farscape. Though, I enjoy BSG. I like the Cylon chick.

    I like the blond chick in the doctors head. She’d be welcome in my head anyt time! In fact I think she will be ;)

    Seen a few episodes but apart from hot scifi chicks I’m struggle to find it interesting.

    Just had a thought. What if you offered to give the TV to the plumber?

    No good Gary, you still have to get the plumber to turn up to see if he wants it.

    I have it good authority that the best way to get an appointment with a plumber is kidnap his dog! What ever you do, do not kidnap his wife as he will thank you then never return your calls.

    Okay. How about this. Kidnap the plumber and force him to watch Boohbah and the broken TV until he fixes your problem.
