CNBC Infomercial:"Build your body" opposite: MSNBC:Hooked!Muscle Women

[Studio20]

I wonder if the snake oil--excuse me, "supplements" that CNBC was schlepping at 6:00 PM to build a better body, would allow body builders to pass a drug test of the competitions that MSNBC was covering at the same time.....

Oh, by the way, there was a violent death of a former NFL player during this hour and other news going on. Stay classy, MSNBC....

I feel less and less guilty about dumping DirecTV last month.

Makes me wonder what TV programing will be like 10 years from now? 20?

Does anyone remember that episode of The Flintstones from the early 60's where Fred & Barney & Wilma & Betty took a trip to Bedrock in the future? On a spaceship trip the flight attendent asked Fred if wanted to watch TV. Fred said yes as he was curious at what TV would be like in the future only to be toldthat "Playrock Place" (? on that title ) was the only show he could watch as "Playrock Place" was on the air all the time, around the clock and on all networks and channels.

The way current TV programming is....why is it that I would not be surprised if this "predicition" would somehow become reality in the future?

"Peyrock Place" was Flintstonian for "Peyton Place", a popular nighttime serial that was on ABC at the time -- the all "Peyrock Place, all the time" future probably stemmed from the fact that it was on twice a week later to expand to three times a week.
