As of next Friday (May 25), we say goodbye to our Dish satellite service again. This time we hope to be done with it for good. The decision was made for financial reasons so I’m not going to go on like some pompous type who blathers on about how he’s too good for TV. Believe me, I dig TV whether it’s something as mindless as the Cartoon Network or a mindblowing special showing “live” footage from a space probe on the Science Channel. Money-wise we’re doing well but we have so many DVDs to watch, their purchases need to be justified, hockey season is over and there are days the tube is a time burglar. Now the $56/month for Dish will be used to pay of the student loans a tad faster.
With that, I had to combine my Movies on DVD and Cable sections into one unified Movies on our TV category for Picayune because there won’t be anymore reviews coming from Dish (unless I finally finish writing about Chinatown). I hope to post more about all the DVDs we own before we get around to renting any others, namely the last season and a half of Enterprise. Mock all you want, I still found it better than Firefly, or what I really think of Whedon, science fiction for Right Wing cranks.
