I have seen some people saying that because TV stations are monitored on cable and satellite to record what people are watching, that putting your TV on anything but Trump Inaugural will depress his ratings. I'm thinking SciFi channel all day. Maybe they'll have "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"

Twilight Zone. What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy

Definitely Twilight Zone. With select segments of The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror. Like when Kang and Kothos abduct presidential candidates Bill Clinton and Bob Dole and take their place. Even when the deception is revealed, Kang and Kothos are still the only candidates left and you had to vote for one of them. Later when the human race is reduced to slavery, Marge glares at Homer who replies, "Don't look at me; I voted for Kothos." And another episode showing the future where Lisa had just been sworn in as POTUS following the Trump Administration that had left the country completely broke. That was aired around 1990.

Wouldn't that only work if you're one of those households whose viewing is monitored by Nielsen? 'Cos the ratings aren't actually done by counting everyone.

... households whose viewing is monitored by Nielsen? ... That was one of my questions, but I thought the idea was humorous. And we can all tweet about what we are watching ... perhaps with the tag
... #LoserInaugeration #SoSad

What to watch ...
Twilight Zone. Nice, but I only get that via my antenna and the nostalgia station.

Twilight Zone. You mean you are watching the inauguration? From the TV guide of the Scottish Sunday Herald:

TV news is all fake anyway. The only place to get the real dope is Tweety's hash tag.

Here the TV was turned off all day. But then I don't watch much TV these days. I pretty much gave up on TV news when the networks started treating it as entertainment. Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity
