My big question is: What are twenty million parents going to do for a babysitter?!!!:wah:

SHOOT IT DOWN!!! (don't they have 'self-destructs" on these things?!)

(Well, at least this may help with the whole American Obesity" problem!!)

So let us prepare for the "worst case scenario".

You know, I actually didn't watch any TV during my entire high school years. I was out doing stuff all the time!

But now, well let me put it this way: If that outage interrupts the "Survivor" finale...heads are gonna ROLL!:mad:

I'm glad I have Direct TV (Sat) and not Cable.

Just think of all of those millions of teens not being able to watch Glee.

Oh well, I guess they will just log onto their computers and watch it on line.
