That's very touching what Lady Eyana bat David did. Kudos to her.

Now, so this is so waaaay off topic. But at least the title is a warning.

Anyway...

I don't watch much TV very regularly. At most maybe 4 hours a week 
quite a few years ago. I watched ST:NG and ST:DS9 when they were both 
on. When Bab5 came on, i dropped ST:NG. When i got into X-Files, i 
dropped ST:DS9.

I was aggrieved when Bab5 moved to cable. While i'm a big fan of Bab5 
(but not a fanatic) and Straczynski's way of presenting a show with 
real development of plot and relationships among characters, 1 hour 
per week doesn't make it worth the money for me to get cable. And i 
don't believe i really *need* to watch more TV than i do.

These days i only watch 1 hour regularly (X-Files). (i do irregularly 
watch some PBS shows). I don't know what i'll be watching next year 
(X-Files won't be the same without the Mulder-Scully relationship), 
maybe "The Lone Gunmen"...

Ob Food Content: Then again, if i got cable i could watch "Iron Chef"...

Anahita
who saw ONE Iron Chef when visiting her mother who does get cable 
because it's the only way she can get any TV stations.
