Helen Miles - 30 May 2005 21:02 GMT HRFL Tiger peed on the TV cable box and blew it up last week, so I have been arguing with NTL to sort it out since. Eventually after much ranting down the phone, the engineer came out and replaced it, but not before HRFL sprayed the engineer and the new cable box. <Sigh>
I think Tiger is trying to tell me something about my TV viewing habits. I know that Stargate SG1 is not everyones cup of tea, but really!

Now if you were watching drek like "reality shows" or talk shows, he'd have a valid point. :-)

Mischief - 30 May 2005 21:33 GMT OMG!!!! ROFL!!!
A cat peeing on the cable box? That's just hilarious
It beats out what happened to me last night. I'm trying to go to sleep when I hear this huge crash from across the room. When I turn on the light and put on my glasses, my VCR has been knocked partially off the TV. And Mischief is looking all innocent like she didn't do ANYTHING.
Purrs that your cable box gets fixed

Sandy - 31 May 2005 00:21 GMT I have an argument with the cable people every time they come to the house. They tell me not to put anything on top of the cable box, because air needs to circulate through the vent holes. I tell them that if I don't have something on it, I'll have cats on it because they like the warmth.
The last time they came out to replace the box, they told me I had "fried the hard drive" (it's a DVR). I think I came up with a solution, though. I put a wire VHS tape rack on it. That keeps the cats off, but there's room for air to circulate and it doesn't block the holes. So far it's working.

ROTFL... sorry, but that's pretty funny! Maybe he's giving you some not-so-subtle hints that he'd rather see more Animal Planet programs (or shows of that sort, if you haven't got access to that specific channel) on TV. ;o)

Our TV junkie cats are currently watching the third season of B-5 with Rob, and love the Star Gate series.

Helen Miles - 04 Jun 2005 22:39 GMT > Yes it is, all 5 seasons. I still prefer Stargate, SG-1 and Atlantis. I'm starting to get into Atlantis - of course, it helps that Joe Flanagan (Major Shepherd) is SERIOUS eye candy. ;o)
As for Stargate SG1.... apart from season 6, which was total pants because of Jonas Quinn and what the writers did with the script, I love it. Can't wait for season 9 in Sept.
My latest addiction is Battlestar Galactica, the new series. It's by far the best sci-fi series out there. EVER. I was originally a BSG purist for the original series and refused to watch the new series because of Starbuck being a girl. Then my brother said give it go, so I did, and I AM HOOKED. Makes Stargate look cr*p in comparision!
If you haven't seen BSG, do so....it's awesome. It's the first sci-fi series I have ever bought on DVD and I don't regret a single penny. You *DO* have to watch the mini-series opening pilot to understand what the hell is going on in the first season though.

Pamela Shirk - 04 Jun 2005 20:45 GMT > Purrs for your cablebox. > ================================== [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Is B5 out on on DVD? > Suz&Spicey YUP!!! :-) We bought our copies at Barnes and Noble. They have a sale going on right now for their DVDs buy 2 and the 3rd is free. Of course that means that the cheapest one is free, but at $100/season getting four seasons plus the movies for $300 is a bargain. I got the fifth season and a couple of the movies through Freecycle. I also got most of Mike's "Red Dwarf" collection taken care of and the first two seasons of my must have "All Creatures Great and Small". My mid month goal (can you tell that we got our income taxes back?) is to get the complete Horatio Hornblower series, which is out now, and complete the "Creatures G & S" series. That takes care of those times when what is on TV is lousy reality series, and bad comedy.
For you other Sci Fi fans, Star Trek, Star Trek: TNG, Star Trek Deep Space 9, and Voyager are also out, in varying amounts, on DVD, as are some of the HBO and Showtime series like 6 Feet Under, Dead Like Me (Mike has the first season and is hunting for the second season), Sex and the City, and The Sopranos.

Eventually after much [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Our TV junkie cats are currently watching the third season of B-5 with Rob, > and love the Star Gate series. I *still* haven't seen the last episode of B5. I missed the original one because the TV station mucked around hte times so the programming ont he VCR didn't catch it, and every time its been on since, I've been busy, have forgotten, or was unaware it was on until too late.
Very frustrating.
I also missed the end of Angel by being stupidly pregnant and not being able to stay awake long enough to watch anything.
As to Stargate, I didn't like it at first, but Joel is a major fan and would insist on watching it no matter what. Once I was forced to sit through a few episodes, I started to like it too. The fact that Daniel Jackson is a real honey helped, of course :-)
