I could go into great length of all the shows that were viewed in my household from Mister Roger's Neighborhood, and Sesame Street when my children were young. As the ages present in my household changed so did the viewing of programs. My husband has been a fan of This Old Housr and Ask This Old House. I have spent countless hours glued to the TV watching Antique Roadshow and NOVA. Of course we have also enjoyed a variety of Great Performances and even get a kick out of watching The Lawrence Welk Show remakes. PBS has programs for all ages. I recommend checking out the offerings by your PBS station and see if you too can find at least one show of interest to you. If you have the means I also recommend making a donation to support Public Broadcasting Service.

I grew up on PBS. Started with GA PBS in my hometown of Atlanta and then to KY PBS…read more As a child we would watch The Electric Company to learn words and enjoy the entertainment. I am sure PBS inspired my love of history as well. Some of my favorite shows are/were The History Detective, Finding Your Roots, Antique Roadshow, Are You Being Served and many more. My all time favorite shows are Keeping Up Appearances. That is one of the funniest shows of all time. I can watch that all day. Back in the early nineties in ATL remember watching Opera Singers Jessie Norman and Kathleen sing Negro Spirituals that was unforgettable. I bought the CD of this performance. This show will move your soul. Some of it is on You Tube. I highly recommend it. So no doubt PBS has been life changing for me and hope it stays around for future generations.

I ran into G4 quite by accident on my cable system and was intrigued that something so ridiculously…read moreamateurish could actually be bankrolled by Comcast and gain an actual channel listing, not to mention funding. G4 is/was (mercifully killed last month by Comcast) a cable channel for gamers offering opinion and insight into the new hardware and software of the moment. This was an offering full of digital earnestness as the male hosts were all bald with thick rimmed glasses (a classic techno-geek tell) and the women were all very loud goths. There are high school AV squads who would never tolerate such stereotyping and unprofessionalism. Audiences were intolerant as well as the channel was habitually mired in last place among the 200+ channels measured by Nielsen drawing 1,000 viewers per hour in prime time. There were probably three times as many viewers watching Romanian table tennis over on the Olympic Channel. I don't believe in euthanasia but Comcast definitely made the right call. Gaming holds no interest for me but I suspect that if you're into Call of Duty inspired slaughter and bloodlust you'd much rather do it than watch three bald idiots talk about it. I'll always be a fan of "what were they thinking" absurdity but you really have to question Comcast's professional judgment for greenlighting this digital roadkill. One anonymous star.

Would you laugh at me if I told you that I got digital cable just to get G4?…read more ... Go on. Laugh. I don't mind. I admit I can be a huge geek. Or dork. Whichever you prefer to call me. ... You done yet? No? Okay, I'll give you another minute. ... Alright. Now that you got that out of the way, I can start my review. I'm a gamer, I like tech gadgets even though I can't afford it, so naturally I love G4. In fact, it's the station I watch the most lately. I used to watch a lot of animal planet, food network, and cartoon network, but G4 has taken over. Now, I don't love EVERYTHING about G4. Some of the shows I like: - Cinematech: Nocturnal Emissions. A show that showcases clips from various video games. A heavier, more adult oriented version of cinematech. - Attack of the show. A talk show (?) that gives you news and updates about pop culture, video games and technology. A little secret; I like staring at Olivia Munn's boobs. They're so nice, I can't help it. - X-Play. A video game review show. I love Morgan and her witty humor. Sessler? Not so much. His voice kinda annoys me. - Ninja Warrior a.k.a. Sasuke. A Japanese obstacle course competition show, kinda like American Gladiator, but better. Competitors range from bulky musclemen to adult video model to 80 year old grampa. - Special coverage shows such as Tokyo Game Show coverage and E3 coverage. - Wired for sex. Interesting and somewhat educational. It's a documentary after all. Shows I don't give a shit about: - Code Monkeys. An animated cartoon comedy using 8 bit graphics. NOT FUNNY. Stupid, sexist, racist, and just overall not funny. - COPS. Do we really need another station showing this show? - Cheaters. See COPS. - Star Trek. My fiance loves it. I hate it. It kinda balances out. - Arrested Development. Never cared about this show. - Cheat. Not to be confused with cheaters. A show that gives you cheats for video games. Who needs it when you have gamefaqs.com?? This show is stupid. But Kristin Holt needs a job, I guess. - Street Fury. Ugh. The host reminds me of snoop dogg. Good to watch if you're into asian chicks. - Some other stuff I really don't care about so I can't even remember their names. So there you have it, my review of my current favorite TV station. Did I just bring myself into the next level of dorkiness?

PTV Network in Monterey Park is the exclusive US office for Zhong Tian (CTi) TV, straight outta…read moreTaiwan (also "subtitled" with Republic Of China, abbreviated as R.O.C, and sometimes fondly referred to by proud pro-independent expats as "TAIWAN ROCs, MUDDAFUGGAZ!!") PTV I suppose deals only with the TV service media companies/providers, so you can't deal with them directly, except through your cable or dish network or satellite TV provider. I'm sure these guys are also responsible for the local TV commercials for nearby businesses (all of them within the Monterey Park, Arcadia, San Gabriel). In the San Francisco Bay Area, one can subscribe to Zhong Tian via ComCrap, channel 243. However the monthly fee this wonderful cable provider charges (about the opportunity cost of a shade over a $10 BJ on the East side, or about 4 to 5 Egg McMuffins), they "throw in" Channel 244 which is CCTV if I remember correctly, a mainland China cable station. I don't watch Ch 244 as the content does not appeal to me, but 243 has a real wide variety of content, from the mundane, to the mildly interesting, and then to the useful, the funny, the cool, and some real whacked up shit. Zhong Tian bills itself as a TV channel (subscription cable at least in Taiwan alone) that specializes in variety. However the choice of programming ironically offered through BombCrap cable, says otherwise. Interestingly PTV and ComCrap don't localize the TV commercials, so you're getting Southern Cal Chinese businesses commercials shown on SF Bay Area Ch 243. Does me no good. Here's a sample of programming that Zhong Tian has offered via Bombcrap from the past 5 years. The mundane: I don't know about you but when I'm paying through my ass for cable content with a special package that includes this channel, I'd like to see MORE variety. Maybe BombCrap is to blame, as the same 3 to 4 shows are repeated on Saturdays and Sundays. This FKKKs up the guide as I set to record a show on series and it counts the repeats as well, or some shows that occur once a week for some reason I can't double click to series record. The useful: Travel shows, such as hosts from Taiwan travel to different parts of China. Some ladies might like a few of the "girly tawk" kind of shows that deal with relationship issues to beauty to skin care to fashion tips (some are DIY that would make Forever 21 look hip....) The funny: One of my favorites is "Big Brother of Entertainment", a local talk show variety host by the name of Zhang Fei. He's a superb entertainer, makes up schtick on the spot, is superbly comedic and especially perverse when he has a bevy of ladies on his show (with the camera man always zooming in on the chests and legs...). He's like a Taiwanese Benny Hill with some Johnny Carson presence. Celebs often appear on the show to perform or to promote, and ditto for local talent from gymnastics, chefs, magicians and the ilk. The cool: a show called Taiwan Oprah who I thought was the transsexual, but is actually someone else. Her format may be similar to that of the American Oprah, and interviews famous Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities, but goes beyond the surface and digs deep into personal issues, childhood memories and even finds friends and contacts from their past to appear as secret guests. The food shows (far and few between these days) are always interesting, going to regional places in Taiwan and sampling local delicacies, from a simple vendor to shops/restaurants/stalls that span 100 years or more. The whacked up shit: Red Storm....a show that I thought was the "Oprah" of Taiwan. Well maybe he/she claims to be. It's Li Ching, a person born as a dude who now identifies as a woman and dresses as one. I have no idea if she is a transvestite or a pre/post op transsexual, but really tries to act sisterly with the female guests. All I can say is that her voice is very very deep.... On some days she can look respectable and pass off as a woman. And on other days, it is totally no so hot, but major Tranny Mess. The best of them all? I'd say the local news broadcasts that are sometimes streamed live. Not only do you have politics, entertainment and local news and the ilk, but the news format is a bit of a variety show in itself with a strong theme in sensationalism. Some of the stuff that passes for news coverage is quite embarassing these days, that range from a 65 year old grandma wearing skimpy Forever 21 whore it up clothing to help sell street food, to a dude in his 50s being clubbed by his neighbor because he got into a heated verbal dispute with him as to who was the better presidential candidate (another example of people overly passionate about their politics and willing to choke a bitch over a disagreement). Hey it's their world, not ours.

This company is the US subsidiary of Zhong Tian TV from Taiwan. I don't think it produces its own…read moreprograms in the US. It only has a very short section about local Chinese American news that is made locally in an office suite (not really a studio). I visited the office once. It primarily broadcasts and plays the news and entertainment programs from ZTV of Taiwan. I think they run a very efficient and lean office here, unlike ETTV (competing Tung Sheng TV). It is Channel 65 in my area. The quality of the ZTV news is very good, one of my favorite sources for getting Taiwan and China news. BTW, ZTV was acquired by Want Want Group, a Chinese food conglomerate owned by a Taiwanese, last year, along with China Times Daily. Since then, I noticed that the programming quality has improved quite a bit.
