Being stuck in bed awake all night I figured I would take the opportunity to check out just what kind of trash is available on the hospital TV. This is an extremely primitive system that hasn't been upgraded in decades so it doesn't have advanced features like a guide to wtf the channels are. Let's see what's out there.
Miss Congeniality 2 (2005)
Bombed so hard that I never knew it existed. They took the cast from the original and gave them a terrible script. The jokes are so lame and predictable I'm insulted that I'm expected to laugh.
Public Access TV
It's exactly how it's always been my whole life.
NASA
Democracy Now
weird piano lessons
incomprehensible shit made by local people with the early 1990s equipment provided for free by public access
serious arguments about road plans in various suburbs
yoga for geezers
Mom
Sitcom about a family of multiple generations of women who are fricked up. Actually makes fun of women in a non-superficial way. Sometimes watchable if you're lucky (and desperate).
Religious Channels
There's all kinds on a wide spectrum of how sleazy they are. One almost seemed sincere. They all want your money.
So there you go, that's the most exciting discoveries I made on this adventure. Honestly I thought there would be more.

It's truly amazing how bad it is. Surrounded by the best technology in the world but you can't bill insurance for fricking basic cable.

I had a kidney stone
attack 
while staying in a hotel many years back. I lay on the bed in the recovery 
position and watched TV all night. Goodfellas was on- I turned on the TV right 
at the beginning when Billy 
Batts gets knifed in the trunk and watched the whole thing in complete agony.
Next there
was this 1970s Gene Hackman film called I Never 
Danced For My Father. It felt like a Hallmark film. That was a bit shit.

Was Sandra Bullock in the second movie? I had no idea it existed either.
I can't believe religious people still fall for the sleazy night time grifters, but they must if those people have a platform.

Yeah I started watching without knowing what it was because I assumed a comedy with Sandra Bullock would at least be okay. But they just completely missed the actually being funny part.
I think the religious grifters rely a lot on geezers in the early stages of dementia. They start falling for charity scams, home shopping, etc. just before other signs start to become noticable.

The tragedy of romantic comedies. lol I'm not big on romantic comedies but have to watch them when my family is here, so for revenge I make them watch Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore with me.
I can usually watch through a romantic comedy once and think it's cute but not over and over like some people.

Romantic comedies are great, America is just terrible at them. It's the Koreans and Japanese who can pull it off. And Shakespeare.

I've never watched Mom, but at least the two leads are terrific.
