A summary of some foxtel channels

Discovery channel: When planes attack!
History channel: Secret UFOs of the Third Reich (there was actually a tv show like this)
E!: Thinly veiled soft porn (See Naked and Funny)
MTV: A variety of crappy teen shows. No music.

Lol, coming up next on E! "Naked Wild on 2". And then "Keeping up with the Cardasians", may have misheard that one.

Personally I'm mainly enjoying Kim Possible, the Daily Show, various Discovery Science docos, and, bizarrely, a lot of ABC programs I just never got around to taping before. None of these being things on the basic foxtel package we change to at the end of the month (ABC doesn't count), but it does have other stuff I like.

the best ever ever ever thing on Nat Geo I have ever ever ever seen was about ATLANTIS and one guy was all DUDES IT IS TOTALLY IN THE ANDES ATLANTIS ANDES I THINK I'VE MADE MY ROCK-SOLID POINT well yes okay the rock is a slightly different colour to what that Greek guy described BUT COME ON GUYS SAME LETTER is more important than elephants!!!!!

the one about the Bermuda Triangle comes a close second, though, with the guy who went "haha, that guy who thinks it's aliens is whack-crazy. everyone respectable knows it's actually worm holes through time" oh man he was awesome.

also Nat Geo has WAY more This Plane Exploded Lol shows than Discovery. Discovery is all about Tricked Out Cars Or Bikes.

why did Vinnie have to leave OCC ;____;

For the first few words of your comment I was thinking "There are good docos on Nat Geo? Have I been missing out?"

But, um, yeah. I think we may have different definitions of "best" :) (The main thing stopping me from enjoying that sort of thing is knowing some viewers will be believing it)

I am sad because it will go when Disney Channel goes, I don't like it enough to pay $10 a month extra (and even if I did, it's up to the last season), and the dvds are "best of"s :(

[identity profile] penchaft.livejournal.com 2009-03-26 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Not my DVDs! ;)

I still haven't watched season 4, though. S3's finale pissed me off.

o.O

I..you..have..dvds? Ooooooh.

Would there possibly maybe be some way I could borrow them or get a copy or something? *smiles winningly*

I've only seen episodes from season 4, since that's what they're showing.

Sure, I can burn you copies. =D I'm going into the city Tuesday, but if that's not good for you then any day except Monday and Friday is fine too.

HMM. What time Tuesday? Because I get off work around 1, get into the city around 1:30.

I'm meeting up with [livejournal.com profile] nephron at 2, so I can get to Borders a bit earlier*? Or you can sit with us for a bit, if you'd want.

*I can't remember whether the afternoon bus timetable is earlier or later than the morning one... hmm...

I'll just try and meet up with you guys at 2, that way you don't have to change your plans, especially since I'm usually not feeling very chatty after work. Assuming nephron doesn't mind!

I recommend watching "The Soup!" on E! if you haven't seen it already, it's a weekly sorta-geeky show that pokes fun of what's been on television in the past week.

[personal profile] alias_sqbr 2009-03-26 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I assumed that it must be crap since it was on E!, but I'll give it a go, thanks.

[identity profile] deathwombat.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
It's also hosted by the guy who played the bank manager in Spider-Man 2.
