We are Old or Old is Ill-defined...

So I am dicking around online in between math classes and it seems that all that I love is now old or geared towards 'older' audiences. As everyone knows shows such as Home Improvement and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air are now on Nick-at-Nite, the old persons' Nickelodeon. Yikes. These shows were finished only 12 and 9 years ago, respectively. Both beginning in the early 1990s. How old can a twenty-something feel?

Well, today I stumpled across the TV Land website. And what shows have they now acquired to sit beside the likes of Three's Company, I Love Lucy, Hogan's Heroes, The Andy Griffith Show? That's right folks, Just Shoot Me (ending only 5 years ago) and Scrubs (still awaiting NEW episodes!). What is that crap all about? Does everyone and their mother just get the rights to play Scrubs on any network they want when they buy the DVDs or something? Do they come with a licensed agreement? Scrubs is one of the shows that everyone knows and now it is on every channel. Why sell out so much? Trust me, people will still watch the show even if it isn't on every basic and non-basic cable channel. Psh.

Anyways, quick thought, quick post.

G-O-E-R-G

PS: Umphrey's McGee tonight in South Bend! Peace out, Partyin' Peeps!

Cable needs to be revamped. Most stations suck and the good ones cost too much. Also, there should be a Nick at Nite for 70s-80s shows and one for 90s. Split them up a bit.
