The tv guide channel...............  

This happens to me sometimes too. Because there have been changes in times of "The Office", I was watching Thursday night to see what time it was coming on. What a coincidence it was, they were showing a preview of "The Office" above the listings, so you know I missed the time and had to wait for it to come back around. I just cracked up.

I do the same-- If I'm really looking to see what is on tv I use the guide on my remote- Its through Time Warner digital cable- This gives more information anyways. I watch the tv guide channel when I'm looking to see what is on also- but I get caught up on the stuff on top- I especially like the past Idols-- doing the reality bit of tv. You are right- the listings can go by once or twice and I still don't find anything because I wasn't paying close enough attention.

I'm not a real big TV watcher, so when I go to the TV guide channel for help it usually to find something that I have either heard about or seen someplace and I am trying to find out when and where it is going to be shown. I have never gotten into watching the goings on at the channel. Maybe I should start with the quality of TV that is available these days. LOL

No I really dislike TV gUide channel either I have just missed to channel I am looking for and will have to wait until it rolls around or I watch what is going on above the cannels and miss the one I want !!LOL. I much prefer the TV guide on-line listing it is easy and give a description of the movies.

I very rarely look at the TV guide channel unless I am looking for something in particular. I am a perpetual channel surfer :-) Oh well! But sometimes the stuff they are talking about up top does catch my eye! Some of it is interesting!

Since we don't have cable we don't get the tv guide channel. We get the three main networks, the Fox channel, and PBS, all with just an inside antenna. I see no reason to pay extra money for more choices.

Maybe when I'm house-bound by age or illness I'll consider it necessary. But right now I don't need more choices use up my leisure time or to complicate my life. :-)

I don't have a cell phone either. I don't WANT to be reached by anyone when I am not at home. My family continually urges me to get one. I don't see the need and I sure don't want to pay another monthly bill for something I don't need.

Yep. I'm independent and miserly and grumpy, too. Obstinent. And a dreadful speller.
