I was perusing the Comcast On Demand choices today, and discovered that it seems to be one-stop shopping for Charlton Heston. I’m not kidding. Really.
Take a look at these snapshots of the guide listings:
And if Charlton isn’t hot enough for you, get out of the kitchen — ‘cos Angelina Jolie and Jack Black are cooking up some asparagus salad.
Luckily, the Comcast DVR doesn’t allow such TiVo-like features as wish lists and search by actor. If it did, the results would be completely pointless.
By the way, I’ve gotten annoyed enough with this Comcast box that I’ve reactivated my TiVo in my bedroom. Laying in bed and using TiVo is so relaxing after wrestling with the Comcast box… and all for such crappy television in the end, it makes one wonder why I bother. Mostly, the DVRs serve as time wasters as I scroll through guides (the Comcast box puts a very high contrast logo at the top that doesn’t move, and it leaves behind an afterimage on my new plasma set) looking for something — anything — worth watching. I often find nothing and watch a DVD instead. For this, I pay two monthly charges…
