It's the week of Thanksgiving in the US; very little original
programming will be broadcast next week. It's mostly sports, specials,
and movie marathons.

The networks expect everyone to be sleeping off the turkey, therefore
unable to watch.

You assume sports are unwatchable.

For me, outside the Olympics, that's generally true. I know it's
heretical of me, but I think sports belong on sports channels where they
don't interfere with other programming.

Sports _are_ unwatchable. Its what you have on as background noise
while you nap, waking up occasionally to ask "What's the score?"

Does comedy belong on the comedy channel? Drama on the drama channel?

SGU on DVR?

It's TV. If you expect sanity in programing choices, you've been watching
too much of it.
