Somebody still buys cable? Seriously?

You can get the exact same thing from Hulu Plus for half the price, but I'm on the verge of canceling that, too. Primetime live TV these days is nothing but game shows, fake news, and fake reality, and endless reruns. We watch FBI and NCIS when they occasionally make a new one, but it seems kinda dumb to pay $85/month for something you can get off the air for free and watch on your own schedule, if you've got a Tablo and an antenna in your attic.

I would happily pay $200/month again for cable if it was still 1995 and Hollyweird was still making something worth watching. But I challenge anyone to tell the difference between a "Wheel of Fortune" rerun and a new one. Why anyone pay one red cent for such garbage in prime time?
