I was excited for "Better Off Ted" and the penultimate episode of "Scrubs", but instead Obama is taking the only TV shows I like on either Tuesday or Wednesday and replacing them with something I can read on Yahoo! News in about 2 minutes.

Sorry for the rant..but seriously, do we really need to have him take over Prime Time television?
People are always looking for "signs." You want a sign that our civilization is on the verge of collapse? When network television is more important than the President of the United States, this country is in deep trouble.

I would never know he was on tv except people posting about it. I don't own a TV because it plays nothing but garbage, Obama is just fitting himself into the mix.

All the main stream media is covering it with the exception of FOX which is airing it's regularly scheduled program called "Lie To Me". Pretty ironic don't you think?

So are you telling me that you were glued to the television every time Bush came on to make a speech or hold a press conference? Are you going to sit home tonight and watch every waking minute of what Obama has to say?

Talk about being melodramatic. Not everyone in this country is going to watch Obama.. How do you feel about those who do not get to see his message? Most of us have other priorities in life besides what the breed of Obama's dog is, or that the media is causing a panic over an epidemic that has only caused a few mild cases in the US. It would be different if it was a once in a lifetime experience that could not be recorded, but we are going to get a wave of new threads come tonight/tomorrow about it, so who gives a flying fruck?

This is the age of TiVo, Youtube, DVRs, evening news, morning news, 11pm news, and everything in between! Why is it so damn important that we be forced to watch him during prime time? Why? It isn't like we can't just watch it after the fact..

The nerve of some people...

Be healed little Johnny your Prophet will take care of you. You will work for me and I will pay for your school from birth. Little Sarah I am here to save you. Come closer to the TV, do not faint for I am here for you, the only reason you are here is that I was not on the scene soon enough to approve the abortion.
Soon brethren the Government will take care of all the little people and no one will have to work, the printing presses are smoking hot right now and we have ordered more to print out more worthless paper.


I could keep going but I crack myself up, I'm ROTFLMAO

LOL, ironically it would make a great episode of Scrubs. I can see it now... the POTUS tries to warn people that the World Health Organization raised the Pandemic Level to 5 (imminent danger) but since John Q. Public is busy watching sitcoms the message doesn't get out.

Hilarious hijinks ensue when the next week Sacred Heart is flooded with flu patients, as well as people scared of the flu. Meanwhile Dr. Dorian discovers Obama has not only found a way to interrupt tv programming, he's also able to infiltrate JD's inner musings.

Unbelievable.
It should be online in a couple days at most, if it isn't already.

Go to:
Home - ABC.com

And click free episodes.
Scrubs is listed.

For a while, I was paying for old episodes of Lost through iTunes, before a buddy of mine informed me that abc has (or had at the time) them all online.
