quade 3 #1 October 2, 2008 Ok, it's T-4hr and counting . . . Wall to wall coverage of the most "interesting" debate we're going to see this election cycle. This thread isn't about the VP candidates; it's about the coverage. What channel are you watching?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headoverheels 292 #3 October 2, 2008 Channel 2 on Saturday night, for Tina's take. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grimmie 177 #4 October 2, 2008 Cartoon Network because she's 'Wonder Woman"! OK, CNN, and then switch to FOX and MSNBC for the talking head crap for a good laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #5 October 2, 2008 QuoteNo idea what channel yet, but I'm skipping my gymnastics class to watch. I blew off a very profitable gig tonight. This debate is costing me me a good chuck of change to watch live. Yeah, I'm like that sometimes.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
downwardspiral 0 #6 October 2, 2008 I'll watch it on any channel other than CNN. The partisan feelings lines scrolling graph thing is too distracting.www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #7 October 2, 2008 QuoteI'll watch it on any channel other than CNN. The partisan feelings lines scrolling graph thing is too distracting. Fair enough. I don't like unnecessary on screen graphics either. That said, CNN is doing some nice pre-debate coverage.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
downwardspiral 0 #8 October 2, 2008 well if we're talking about which talking heads? I'm not sure. I usually flip around until I find a show that isn't too onsided. Although tonight that'll prove to be a challenge. www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #9 October 2, 2008 Do nonyall have DVR or TEVO? Skip gymnastics? Skip a "profitable gig"? Seriously? Ya'll are whack. Stay in shape, make your money and watch it when you get home.

quade 3 #10 October 2, 2008 Well, fortunately we have choices for the entire spectrum; ABC BBC America CBS CNBC CNN CSpan FoxNews Fox Network NBC PBS The WB (I'm not kidding!) I'll be flippin' until just moments before the debate starts but will sit on CSpan for the actual fun.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
downwardspiral 0 #11 October 2, 2008 If I wasn't already injured I'd skip martial arts training tonight to watch the debate. I don't think I'd pass up a paying gig tho.www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

downwardspiral 0 #13 October 2, 2008 Well hell then I'll watch it in HD! HAha Biden will probably look like the crypt keeper and Palin won't look so milfy anymore. Seems fair. www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #14 October 2, 2008 Quote Real fans don't watch the Superbowl on TiVo when they can watch it live. I'll give you that. I can't stand it when the Gator game is in the middle of the day. I BEG Bill to DVR it... I mean--I went to UF! I'd still rather do something that actually makes a difference in the middle of my day. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

alw 0 #15 October 2, 2008 Probably FOX unless BBC is covering it, depends on which has the better sound. Afterward and before the only option for me is FOX. It's on at 2AM here in UK.

AggieDave 6 #20 October 3, 2008 QuoteWhat channel are you watching? Channel 57. Most of you know it as AMC. A Star Trek TNG movie is on and its a sad one. Its the one where Data dies. As for the debate, I'm going to read and watch the highlights later. I tried to watch it and it made me start grinding my teeth (due to both VP candidates), so I had to turn it off.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
