    Sorry but I gotta say how much I dislike these things!! First off, I have Tivo and I can browse through what will be playing tonight on all the “manly” channels. second, you pretty much list the same shows over and over again! third, and this is the worst of all, it’s called Testosterone Telivision and unless I’m reading things wrong, it’s written by a woman. No offense, but I don’t think she has much testosterone in her. Maybe if this little post occasionally had something different, something special, but for now, it’s just something to ignore.

    CanesFan: Please let us know what credit card you used to pay for your Dethroner subscription and we’ll be happy to issue a full refund.

  3. 3 I'm not going to say because you will ban me from something

    I mostly don’t like them because I don’t have cable. And I’m pretty sure it’s sort of newsfeed type of automated script anyway, not the real Susie. How about making them an aside so they don’t push the gems like the Naomi Wolf post off of the page?

    Could they be made asides, maybe? They knock the good stuff off of the front page and just provide daily reminders of how long it’s been since you’ve posted. The Naomi Wolf needs to stay up top for a while longer. Also, I don’t have cable, so maybe other people get more out of these than i do.

    Cole, I am all-seeing, all-knowing. I don’t have anything to ban you from, but love will find a way.

    I was hoping you had a big batch of spam that thing just filtered out and piled onto something you never looked at and it stayed in a dark corner of the internet. But actually I feel strongly enough about this to make three comments on this post. And only because I like you.

  7. 7 Susie

    It is the real Susie. In fact, I spend quite a bit of time on these everyday. I pick the shows, trying to avoid the crap so that you don’t have to dig through it when you get home, and format the post by hand, nothing is automated. And I am always happy to take suggestions as how to better these posts. Just let me know what you guys want.

    As for my lack of testosterone, I’m betting I could still kick most of your asses. *hugs*

    I expected more out of that Perfect Predators show. It was decent enough, but I really wish Discovery would make drier documentaries, without everything having to be EXXXTREEME - that show seriously had clips of fighter jets interspersed with the Tiger Shark. WTF?

    It was a decent show, but I turned it off halfway through because it just wasn’t holding my interest.

    I like ‘em. If I find I have some time to watch TV, this is where I go first. When I watch TV, I get in a rut of a few specific channels that I watch regularly, and if there’s nothing on them, I turn it off. These have been expanding my viewing and have turned me on to some really good shows. I say keep up the good work!

    CanesFan: Have you ever called a movie a “chick flick?” How much estrogen have you got running through you to qualify making that statement, big guy?
