Remember when you could turn on the teevee this time o' night
and watch a movie or two?

I miss that, man. Used to catch some of the best 'B' movies, and occasionally an 'A'.

4. Those things used to scare me
when I was really little. It was like, if the teevee went off, the world must be coming to an end or something. :scared:

I couldn't watch a station sign off.

3. "All About Eve" is on AMC right now, and the dialogue doesn't get...
...much better than that. However, it is an exception, so I feel your pain.

7. Don't forget "Girls Gone Wild".
Nighttime cable sucks. That's why I went premium. Now I can see sucky movies late at night.

8. I have premiums too, but it always seems that whenever
I flip around the channels, they are showing the same movies I have either seen or have NO desire to see..

I watch a LOT of my Univeristy PBS and educational channels.. I amaze myself.. I watch lectures that, when i WAS in college, I would have eagerly ducked out of :)

9. I Watch (or Listen to) a Lot of Cartoons
The TV is in the other room, but as a night person, I am forever grateful to Adult Swim. (And I'm OLD!)

10. Just finished watching "A Home At The End of The World"
Edited on Wed Mar-01-06 06:25 AM by Whoa_Nelly
And am now watching "Santa Fe". Am on meds for hives and the damn antihistamine I take at night wires me...doc wanted me to take this one at night because it makes people drowsy...yeah...tight.

So, with a screwed up sleeping schedule, am getting the most out of my HBO subscription.

on edit:
Just drank a double hot chocolate...am hoping it will make me sleepy...
