The Living Network, RIP
R. Alex Whitlock
Catherine Seipp's article on the Oxygen network's schedule-based programing reminds me of the early years of the FX network. Does anyone else remember that? They had the "FX Apartment, where the hosts (analogous to radio deejays) would talk between shows and commercial breaks. They called themselves "The living channel" or something like that, and weirdly enough it really felt like it. Even though I was watching old Batman reruns from the 1960's, it felt a little like I was at a friend's apartment doing so and the hosts were my friends.

No, I wasn't sad, lonely, and pathetic, why do you ask?

Anyway, that didn't last but maybe a couple years, cause they changed the format to whatever it is now.

I wonder if they call it The Deceased Network... that alone would be cool

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
