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.

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.
