(On Screen): Recently the local cable system rearranged the channel lineup and moved the Travel channel up from 54 to 70. The reason was to make room for a new channel called "WE" for Women's Entertainment. It's chick flix and shows about yummy celebs and "Great Romances of the Twentieth Century" and sob-sob shows and blech.

Obviously I'm not a woman.

There's another one I've been seeing ads for recently called "Oxygen" It probably won't be the same but it probably won't be of interest, either. (To me.)

It's nice to know that there's at least one channel out there for Male Chauvinist Pigs and no, I don't mean the Playboy Channel, to which I don't subscribe. We piggies can watch TNN, which used to be "The Nashville Network" and has now changed its spots to become "The National Network". Rodeo! Monster Trucks! That's programming for a real man. No quiche here, baby.

And gorgeous women in bikinis, of course. You know that I've never watched a single episode of Baywatch? Never had the urge, never even been curious. Maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of silicone.

Anyway, on New Year's Day, TNN is going to run a Baywatch marathon; an entire day of Pam Anderson (and not a sign of Tommy Lee). Even for an MCP, that's cruel and unusual punishment. What did we do to deserve this?
