If you had to choose...

If you had to choose five television stations, what would they be? No, here's a better analogy: What if every state had to provide its own TV programming? No more national broadcasting, everything was strictly local. How awful would that be? I can tell you: You'd have programs based on urban gardening, hotel inspectors, talent shows, and "Strange Love: Men Who Love Cars."

How do I know this? Because that was the prime-time lineup in Britain this evening. On the bright side, I won't be spending much time watching TV here. On the down side, I was introduced to the term "mechaphilia."
