Portland Late Night TV
Peter and I are night owls. The temporary dwelling we’re at while we house hunt has a bizarre cable package… only like 20 channels and nothing good ever seems to be on. We’ve been watching some public access and old sitcom reruns.. there are some interesting things on TV here.
Here was some..thing on public access recently:
Local commercials are a treat too.. check out this one from Outrageous Audio:
There are countless dateline commercials and local college commercials that drive me to hit mute whenever they’re on… specifically one for Anthem College that pretends to be a telethon with awful actors. The premise is fine aside from the nonstop ringing telephone sound track they added on. It’s obviously not a live telethon, I have seen the same commercial for weeks straight. Jig is up.
There was bizarre television in St. Louis. Becky Queen of Carpets & Dirt Cheap Beer comes to mind. But I rarely watched TV. And based on this short time with cable television here, Peter and I have decided not to get cable at the new house. TV on DVD and internet is the way to go.
