I Discover G4 TV
I don't rarely venture past channel 70 on my cable menu, but this evening I was flipping through looking for some bad television to serve as a backdrop to my ethnographic film readings when I sumbled upon channel 96, known simply as "G4." Now usually you can tell what a channel's theme is either by its acronym/name, or by the type of shows it plays. The ambiguously-named Bravo gets its point across fairly quickly, while the Food Network is pretty self explanatory. The name G4 was of no help to me, but I was equally confused when I saw the channel lineup:
9:00 Star Trek: The Next Generation
9:30 The Jamie Kennedy Experiment
10:00 Cheaters
10:30 Arrested Development
So an old-school Sci-Fi program, a poorly rated cable reality show, an expose on cheating spouses, and the greatest comedy of all time back-to-back. And the same four shows were played in a seemingly endless loop for the next week.I was totally confused, but didn't care. And why?
Because Arrested Development is on television!!! Even if it is old espisodes. This literally makes my year.

Back home for Thanksgiving tomorrow, among other things. Hopefully I can record all of my adventures by the time I get back on Sunday.
