Looks like Discovery Wings will now be "The Military Channel" after
Jan 10th. . Check out www.discovery.com and click on "Wings" on the

Bummer... I always wanted to get that channel to watch the only 3 GA
prorams on learning to fly and the 2 on building a plane. My step-son gets
the thing and I just bought him a VCR to tape the programs for me!

I deleted wings from my channel line up due to lack of new content.

Yeah, it irritates me, too, that they never play all the thousands of other
high quality General Aviation programs that are out there.

C'mon, guys, there just isn't that much stuff out there specific to GA. We
make up, what, one tenth of one percent of one percent of one percent of the
viewing population?

I still love the channel despite the repeats. One a month or so, I'll catch
something I haven't seen before and learn something I didn't know.
Otherwise, I stick to Foxnews and the Science channel. I'll continue to
glance at the Military Channel every now and then, too.

Doesn't look like she ever did. Not found in the FAA database, anyway.
Probably just got the student ticket to star in the show and then dropped
it.

Husband and series director Scott is there.

They should rename most TV channels to "Wall-to-wall house makeovers"

You mean they are finally going to start calling it by a name more
reflective of their actual programming? It's about time...



A friend of mine used to say the History Channel ought to be called the
Hitler Channel. Now instead of WWII documentaries every night we get
Modern
Marvels: The Garbage Can.

Yeah, what is UP with that?

I mean, "This Old House" was cool -- but now there are clones of it on every
single cable channel.

If my wife is any example, it's easy to see why it's popular. She
watches it all the time to gather ideas on house/kitchen/bathroom
mods.

She gets to see exactly what the modifications look like when done so
she can decide if it's something worth doing in our place. She can't
be the only woman watching. In fact, this might be a woman thing.

You're probably right. "This Old House" was somewhat unique, in that "Norm"
got all of us guys to watch (Oooooo, lots of powah tools...) and "Bob" got
all the chicks interested ("Just look at the way that mauve border opens up
this room!") somehow without looking limp-wristed.

I don't like the new ones as much -- especially not those stupid "Trading
Spaces" shows, where some ignorant bimbo takes a perfectly fine living room
and paints it orange and green....and then the owners have to come home and
pretend to love it.

I'll bet over half of those rooms get a nice coat of beige paint two days
after the producers leave town.

These days it's "Desert Sand", beige is too plebian, has no panache.

I'm a guy. Seldom do I go beyond the colors in the 16 color box of crayons
and when I do, it's only to the 24 color box... (-;
