This is the Onion News Network. Brand new with new content, as far as I can tell from their teasers. I'll have until March to see if they can stay up to standard. It looks like they're going to go beyond the Colbert/Stewart model. Let's see if they can keep it up.

DirecTV has IFC in my plan. I only find a few movies worth (IMO) watching.
BTW If you ever consider switching to DirecTV, let me know. $100 for you and $100 for me.

Well. There's a fairly good sci-fi on right now. It scared the crap out of me back in 1979 when it came out. Alien.
