Very true.
I remember I heard Springsteen singing "57 Channels and there's nothin' on." and thinking "WOW, 57 channels!" That was a lot when, growing up without cable, I had 4 (CBC affiliate (10), CTV (13), if I turned the antenna Global (6), and TVO (18))

Now with a dish (Star Choice) there are hundreds of channels.

But it is still annoying when House is delayed for 5 weeks so American Idol can run long shows. And My wife despises when shows are delayed or show reruns because of major sporting events.

I really only get annoyed when good shows are canceled and yet other pieces of tripe seem to go on and on. I never got in to AD, but I understand people's feelings and wonder who that is canceled and yet According to Jim or King of Queens (both of which I thought were done 2 years ago) are still running.
