And will you take the other advice that has been offered and start watching "The Daily Show"?
I dare to say this show in all it's sacred-cow-puncturing, tongue-in-cheek, news-as-an-in-joke straight forward delivery is as important (yes, 'important' is the correct word) as the Smothers Brothers were or Satuday Night Live once was.
Pay for a godammn cable hookup. At the least you can get some BBC as a bonus.
Or get friends to tape and deliver. I can't stress enough what you are missing without the occasional Daily Show infushion.
