NBC doesn't get taxpayer bailout funds- those are for financial institutions- and CNBC doesn't count either ;)
Yeah, it's galling to think some ad agency was well paid for that little slice of ridiculous. Then again, the channel rarely has anything I'm willing to watch, so no great loss. I'm completely with you on TLC- that used to be the channel I watched the most (them and Discovery), now there's no point. Absolute crap. On the plus side the H logo for the History Channel used to stand for Hitler, but they've actually managed to veer away from the 24 hours a day WWII documentaries to some decent programming on occasion. The Food Network needs to tone down all the reality show competition programming too. Some is good (Iron Chef is what got me watching the channel to begin with) but too many are just plain bad (Chopped? I wish it were).
