All in the Family. That and Wolfman Jack was how I learned Englisch :-)

Many years ago we had a couple over from Germany. She had an academic education in English. Showed here a brief episode with Archie Bunker and she didn't understand a thing ...

I would even know what that is. We don't have cable.

Doesn't that change with the earth's CO2 load and all air capacitors are doomed?

Nice. :-) I mainly remember Wolfman Jack from one "special guest appearance" he made on the (really awful) Battlestar Galactica 1980 series; he wasn't locally on the radio in Wisconsin.

Around here a local radio station (one of the few we can receive decently out where we live, so used as a wake up on the clock radio) must be affiliated with Fox since they're always pushing it on their morning broadcasts. Sometimes it's painful listening to what's supposed to be "spontaneous" banter between the DJs when it's clearly scripted! ("Wow, did you see American Idol last night?" "Yeah, that Clay Aiken sure has the moves!"

It's annoyed us a couple of times on LC oscillators. I've gotta remember to cut away ground planes to keep the capacitance down.

I guess when one starts musing about driven "ground planes" it's time to look at better materials?

Not my problem. BTW, can anyone at 'Fox' even read? After all, with shows like 'Married, With Children', 'The Simpsons' and similar low grade crap, why should anyone care?

Clearly you haven't seen Cartoon Network lately. Shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Squidbillies, and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law are just... surreal.

Although I have a suspicion that after consuming large quantities of alchohol or marijuana, they might actually seem like real TV shows. :-)

Another fact about marijuana - when stoned, everything - even television(!) - is good.

You must learn to be careful of this.

Ah, that's why Can't Stop the Music was green-lighted!

Probably a lot of those late-'60s/early-'70s "biker" films too...

But speaking of drugs... have you seen the news article about one of Broadcom's founders, Henty Nicholas, being accused of using drugs, distributing them, and even slipping them into the drinks of would-be customers!? (E.g.,

The only problem with that is that there is not any news on the TV any more. Just current propaganda and prurient snooping into the lives of the popular.

I have seen a few episodes of those and i don't like a damn one of them. Try Skyland, it is fantasy but it has plot and story and character development.

I hadn't seen that one before. I have been seeing an abrupt increase in major corporation executives getting busted for drugs. A quick search was scary.

Not for at least five years. I have the basic cable package with 20 channels for $19.05/month. They don't even advertise it on their website.

Yes. Actually, I think it was licensed from them. ...and then taken past its logical conclusion. ;-)

You just haven't thrown enough money at the problem. Three or ten more zeros ought to work. ;-)

They're rerunning Wolfman's radio shows on XM (60s).

Likely too uptight to get the "toilet" humor.

You're fortunate.

Not just customers. AIUI, employees too. The company seems to have endorsed the practice (routinely buying off the victims). This one could get messy!

Maybe they have to.

Sounds like there may be some value in reviving the technology. It would likely only be niche though.
