Title: Change the channel or let it stay- TV VERSION
Post by: El on September 24, 2006, 02:43:01 PM
So here's how the game goes.  Imagine you are borted and channel surfing.  Imagine further that you don't know what is on the air besides what you're looking at right now, so your choice of TV station is based only on your current input, and not on what else you are aware is on.  Now, for the big decision- do you change the channel, or do you stay?  This is not a matter of how much you like a show, but how tolerable or aversive you find it- I will keep the station on some shows I don't care much for just from laziness.  Got it?

WHat you do is respond to the post above you, saying if you'd stay on that show or change the channel, then post a new show for the next poster to decide on.

I'll start things off:

Fox news.

I'm in the background of one eppisode of Overhaulin'. John Force had a 1956 12 seater Ford school bus. Our marketing director, Craig Hozell called up Chip Foose to have it overhauled. Right when they're filming John noticing the bus missing, I'm in the backround rebuilding engine parts.
