Apple did not consult with us when they named Ping, Ping.

My TV Network in detail.

In the era of 500 channel Dish Network subscriptions, I think there’s room for my TV network. I don’t have a name for it, I have no money, and I have no rights to any of the shows I wish to broadcast… but what’s wrong with that? The programming will consist of the following:

Hunter. Any TV network without Hunter is not worth watching.
Home Again with Bob Vila. A man’s man. Bob Vila.
The Simpsons. The funniest show on television.
Cheers. Used to be the funniest show on television.
Family Ties: For weekend afternoons when nothing else is on.
Car and Driver Television: Of course.
Golden Girls. It was good, all right?
Saved By The Bell. A no-brainer.
Press Your Luck. No whammies!
Star Trek: The Next Generation. Nothing wrong with a little Trek, is there?

Plus, of course, good movies. Really. -pm

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
