Televisions will eventually grow so large that families will be forced to watch TV from outside their homes, peering in through the window. Random wolf attacks will make viewing more dangerous.</blockquote> comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.42205-938288 Mon, 23 May 2005 05:01:11 -0800 blendor http://www.metafilter.com/42205/After-all-its-the-wave-of-the-future-wave-of-the-future-wave-of-the-future#938344 Mark Pesce?

All the highlights. I mean, what the fuck? VH1 is horrible. I think they play music videos in the early morning now, but I'm not sure. When I started collage MTV played music videos during the non-prime-time hours, now they just do re-runs of their reality shows 24/7. Even in the middle of the night. They don't even play videos on TRL anymore (only about 45 seconds of each video, interuppted by people's comments). Anyway. Viacom sucks. comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.42205-938435 Mon, 23 May 2005 09:42:26 -0800 delmoi http://www.metafilter.com/42205/After-all-its-the-wave-of-the-future-wave-of-the-future-wave-of-the-future#938443 I love Conan. *sigh* comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.42205-938443 Mon, 23 May 2005 09:51:28 -0800 AlexReynolds http://www.metafilter.com/42205/After-all-its-the-wave-of-the-future-wave-of-the-future-wave-of-the-future#938484 Conan is King. comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.42205-938484 Mon, 23 May 2005 10:39:18 -0800 Zampa
