Anyone else following Kevin Bruneau in Market Warriors? (Mondays at 9pm on PBS). The first 3 to 4 shows shows he was doing very well and last night came in last! Bad luck...

Bruneau's Online Antique Fine Art Auction Gallery,

Sorry, Holly, but I'd rather drive nails through my head than watch anything on tee-vee (excepting The Three Stooges).

I thought there might be some interest since Kevin is from Cranston.

I respect your not watching any TV but to me that is the equivalent of sticking your head in the sand. Our culture is TV driven- like it or not. And there are some things worth watching- like this for example: BBC Earth

I have seen it a couple of times and I do enjoy seeing if they make a profit or not. It just goes to show you that even the experts have trouble reselling supposed treasures. And they even have an advantage for getting pricing down. I am sure the cameras are intimidating to some sellers and they feel pressured to lower prices for the sake of the show.

No, I simply reject mainstream "culture" for what it is: bankrupt, immoral, vapid and at odds with my philosophical beliefs. Television is the Great Satan of our society. I have to interact with contemporary culture, but that doesn't mean I need embrace or endorse it. And I know lots of folks who, like me, don't own a television; they experience culture at cultural events and by contributing positively to a greater, more refined cultural/social level.
