8-15-08 - Five Rings

Talk about today's strip, or anything about the comic in general. You can also talk about any of the characters... but don't expect a response. They're FICTIONAL, you guys... sheesh. :)

And here I am, sleeping on California Time, staying up to watch them. Besides, the gymnastics make up for the lack of other entertainment this week.

The television coverage sucks so I just watch it online.

...and I don't watch television so I'm not missing anything by the program interruption.

Mythbusters. A new episode, "Viral Video Hour" was supposed to air on Wednesday. However, less than a half-hour before it was scheduled to air, Discovery announced on the Mythbuster's forum that the episode would not show as planned, and neither would next week's episode (Ninjas 2). Commercials promoting the new episode continued to air, even during the repeat that showed in it's place. While it's not official that the Olympics were the cause of the cancellation, it's a common theory.

'Seasons' and 'no new tv in the summer' seems to be a rather outmoded concept, ancient and archaic.

There's plenty of new first-run content on right this very week.

"In your histories, there are continual justifications for all manner of hellish actions. Claims of nobility and heritage and honor to cover up every bit of genocide, assassination, and massacre. At least the Horde is honest in their naked lust for power."

No, but other channels do. And they're drawing some pretty huge numbers. Which means fewer people are watching other channels, such as the Discovery Channel and Sci-Fi. In other words, they're competing for viewers when they might be better off simply waiting for the hubbub to die down. It's like trying to premier a show on USA during the same time slot as the Superbowl. Dumb idea.

And stupid, idiotic, POS NBC has y'all on tape delay.

You shouldnt blame the olympics. You should blame your stupid tv programming people. what are they called NBC? they are the ones that screwed with the schedule of the Olympics so that you could all watch Phelps win gold during "Prine Time" So its really your fault that they reprogrammed your programs.
