....On the other hand, if the taxpayers don't get Buck Rogers, they're
also less apt to whine less about spending the bucks. That's the
problem with the space program since the camera failed on A12 and the
networks decided to listen to the blue-haired soapsjunkies and quit
giving NASA so much airtime. These days, all they show is about 5
minutes of a launch and 3 minutes of a landing, and then it's back to
who Britney ****ed in a gay bar, or who Lindsay ****ed in a straight
bar while trying to provide OJ with an alibi, all to provide filler
in-between stories about some crackhead's daughter being missing and
maybe found in a garbage bag, and stories about how the Big Three
automakers want more money that the goddamn Mafi...er..."Unions" will
demand be funnelled into their swiss bank accounts.

sigh You know TV news is worthless when you find more information
from an aircheck tape copy of a 1969 WNBC news show that's been capped
& posted to YouTube. Floyd Calber, you are missed...
