My TV made me insane
I was looking forward to the RFK movie on FX tonight, with Linus Roache as RFK. But for some unknown reason, they replaced it with a M*A*S*H marathon, while still running the RFK promos throughout. I’m quite curious to know what would make FX pull such a heavily-hyped project from the airwaves at the last minute – and no crawl notice on the screen or anything.
Also tonight, they were showing “Mrs. Doubtfire” on PBS. I began to wonder if I was having some sort of breakdown, like, what night is it? Are these the right channels?
Then, I switched on the TV schedule crawl channel. They now show ads in the top half of the screen, and lately the audio hasn’t been synching properly with the video. So I go looking for answers about RFK, and I see little kids playing with some sort of Fisher-Price train set. But on the audio track is a promo for John Carpenter’s “Ghosts of Mars,” so as I watch the children playing, I hear explosions and the announcer intoning, “ALL THAT MATTERED WAS STAYING ALIVE!”
I need to go lie down now.
Your cable company must be on glue. FX is showing RFK right now on the west coast. And Mrs. Doubtfire is way more entertaining than “The Wrinkle Cure with Dr. Perricone.”, which is on PBS right now.
get outta the house
thas’all
Sounds like one hell of a train set.
