Sad but true. On a private, TV-focused mailing list I was on about a decade ago, there was one woman who vowed that she would never again watch NBC after that network canceled her favorite soap, "Another World." Every time we would have discussions on the list about "The West Wing," she would take the time to make a post reminding us that she didn't watch "West Wing" - not because she disliked it, but because it aired on the same network that canceled "Another World." She focused so much on her soap obsession that it dominated all her discussions, and she became so insufferable because of it that she was eventually exiled from the list. -Tim -- TV or Not TV ....
