Just finished Supergirl. Think I'm going to start Immortals.

Yesterday I watched a PBS Special on Nat King Cole that I had recorded and I really enjoyed it, but I was so glad to be able to fast forward through the incredibly annoying pledge drive parts of it. PBS is really obnoxious when they have pledge drives, and it seems like they only air really good shows when they have their pledge drives. They'll show 15 minutes of a show, then have the pledge drive messages for 20 minutes, and then show 15 minutes more of the show.

I took a course on TV manipulation (it was called TV and Social Behavior) during my undergraduate. It was amazing finding out how they get you. It's really manipulative. What you witnessed was obvious, annoying manipulation, though. Sorry you had to endure such garbage!

It was definitely manipulation, with guilt-trip messages throughout. "If you want to keep seeing quality programming like this, call now with your monthly pledge amount."

Wow, even threats. That is so unacceptable.
