CN Real --- ly sucks

I am less than impressed by even the hint of the new line of shows that the Cartoon Network has been producing. This is the CN Real line that is a push for reality television programming on a network that is designed around the format of 100% cartoons. This is obviously going to replace cartoons during the evening hours that they consider prime time. However, this may be a good thing as the cartoons that they have been playing have been for the most part complete and utter crap.

The move to reality shows may be caused by the recent writers strike that caused reruns all through the country. I found this much better than most as I watch the CN and History Channel (the original reality television program.) The problem is that more and more of the History Channel are gangland style or religious shows. Neither of these am I wanting to watch.

Now I will give CN Real a chance. I just cannot imagine that these are going to be any better than the other reality TV shows. I am beginning to think I need to cancel the cable TV and try to use only the Internet for everything. The only thing I worry about is the fascist Democrat plan to monitor all Internet traffic throughout the country. Then they will know all the bad TV shows I watch.

The History Channel has been removed from the lineup by the cable provider in their standard analog package. This and CN are the only channels that I watch. If I am not able get the channels back without resorting to paying $6 for a digital cable box then the cable goes and DSL come to my house.
