Rerun Hall Of Fame

Yesterday I turned on the TV to catch a bit of the Olympics. I watched some of the men's downhill ski event. I say "some" because I soon tired of the yapping commentators and the endless replay of the poor guy who wiped halfway down the hill. Then came the commercials. Many, many commercials. I tired of those and turned the set to channel 2 where Antiques Roadshow was playing. One of my fave shows. I watched that for a while and then went to bed to read.
I woke up at midnight unable to sleep, went out to the kitchen and turned on the TV. I watched the same skiier fall down the hill, listened to the same smarmy commentators. Exact footage as in the evening.
Then came the commercials. Yep, you guessed it, same ones.
So I turned to channel 2.
Antiques Roadshow, same one as before. No kidding.

This REALLY made me laugh. And I agree about the "___channels and nothing on." Because of HDTV and my DVR, I have several hundred channels and REGULARLY can't find anything to watch. Very sad.
