“I could spend hours watcing these shows, and never become board.”
Thank God for that. I hate to see people become lumber.
I’m not sure if going back to showing nothing but old shows is the answer, but that’s part of the answer. Dropping wrestling would be a plus. Maybe doing a SF related talk or news show? How about interviews with authors (SkiiFii goes to the Cons!)? Bits about new books?
Heck, what about a contest featuring content submitted by fans (YouTube, anyone?).
Anything but another Mansquito sequel!
