It's beginning to look a lot like Zamboni in a tree

Just a quick walk around the living room
and you can see things are different
around the house ... it must be December.

Is that our chocolate Labrador retriever, Zamboni, wearing a red ribbon and wreath collar sitting in the Christmas tree?

Like dogs and trees

"What's on TV, hon?"

"Hey Rube!"

"Hey, Rube!" That's what the guy yells when he walks into the newspaper office and suddenly everyone and everything is upsdide-down. It takes a little bit of sleuthing later by Superman and his pals Lois and Jimmy to figure that colloquialism is used by circus workers to indicate trouble.

Thus, when the room turns upside-down and the bad guy is surprised, he yells, "Hey, Rube!" which is a call for warning and help at the circus.

#70 "Topsy Turvy" (1955)
A crook plans to use one of Professor Pepperwinkle's inventions that makes things appear upside down.

I call it the episode of the upside-down machine on Superman.

Superman - Coal & Diamonds

Internet Movie Data Base

TV or Not TV

Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look! Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman! Yes, it's Superman - strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman - who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands, and who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a neverending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

I went to school with a chap who was about fourth of six boys and the Superman TV show was constantly on in his house from the older ones on to the youngest. In fact, one of George's proudest achievements (at the time) was to be able to do the show intro in one long breath.

TRIVIA: George is referred to in Letter of Introduction in A Father's Place. He's the fellow at the IHOP.

More on FiOS Fiasco

I just found an email from our friends at FiOS Land.

Dear FiOS TV Customer,

Soon, you will see an exciting change to your FiOS TV service! You’ll be getting a new Interactive Media Guide - designed to make your TV service easier to use and more entertaining.

The new guide will provide you with rich tools to access, browse and search a wide range of multimedia content. Features include enhanced TV listings, powerful search capabilities, a new Marketplace, Video on Demand movie posters, enhanced parental controls, and more interactive applications.

And now, you can order your favorite subscription package like HBO or Cinemax with a click of your remote control! Just tune to the channel you want to watch and follow the directions to order immediately. All the channels included in the package will be available within a couple of minutes.

These features are just the beginning. You will continue to see new features and enhancements as we move forward to improve your FiOS TV Experience

.


In the Frequently Asked Questions link, one of the Q's is HOW DO I DELETE CHANNELS FROM MY CHANNEL LIST?

Folks, you ain't going to believe this answer.

Currently, the ability to filter out certain channels from your channel list is not available in the new IMG. We will provide this feature in our next software upgrade. However, you can create a favorites list by going to the Favorite Channels sub menu under Settings. Next, highlight the Add/Remove Channels sub menu and press the right arrow key to highlight the channel list. Now, go down the list and press OK to add/remove channels from your favorites list. Once your list is complete, press the exit button and you are finished. The next time you press the Favorites button on your remote, the IMG will launch, filtered with your favorite channels.

And the TV schedule only goes out 7 days. Duh!

We are currently developing an enhancement so that you can see 14 days. That will be included in a future upgrade.

Golly, I wonder which genius said, let's take something that's working fine and turn it into crap so we can tick off all these people who are sending us a big fat check each month to watch TV?

And another thing, the type on the new display is too darn small. And when you hit info, the description - which used to come up on the right hand, now appears over the show you're watching.

Phooey.

It's enough to make you curl up with a good book.

FiOS Foul Up Makes you say ARGGGHHH!

Ever wake up one morning to find someone replaced the channel guide and program information on your FiOs TV set with Russian?

Well, that's what it was like today in the crash-learning of the new options on the old buttons on our FiOs remote control.

Now, when we scan through the channels, all those hundreds of channels to which we don't subscribe, and the foreign language channels, and the I'm-not-interested-in-channels are all back and we have to scroll through previously deleted channels.

It sucks.

FiOS, for two cents I'd ....
