Debate Night Viewing

Donald Trump has predicted that his Monday night debate with Hillary Clinton will be the most watched event in television history--"bigger than the Super Bowl, bigger than the World Series." We were hoping that the part of Mr. Trump would be taken by Seth Rogen, and that Lena Dunham would play Hillary Clinton. Sadly, this is not to be. If only they had let Seth Macfarlane produce the show.

However, for those unwilling to be caught in the debate net, here are some alternate viewing choices for 6:00 p.m., Monday, Pacific Standard Time: on Channel 14, "Family Feud", on Channel 30, "Mama's Family"; on Channel 8, "Kaanch Ki Guria"; on Channel 70, "Moose Meat"; on Channel 68, "Fashion Police"; on Channel 52, "Cupcake Wars"; on Channel 50, "NASCAR Truck Racing"; on Channel 120, "100-year-old Drivers".

So you can see there is a rich choice of intellectual stimulation available, apart from the predictably messy Trump vs. Clinton match. Our only regret is that it is not the night for "All-Star Bowling."

Of course, you could follow the advice of Groucho Marx and watch nothing at all. Groucho said, "I find TV  very educational. Whenever someone turns it on, I go in another room and read a book."
