text: does "anyone" know of any decent shows on cable that come on after midnight, as i always have to work late??   okay, it's going to cost a little bit more, but you need to upgrade to digital cable with dvr. having tons of shows at your fingertips "on demand" will mean that you never have to sit through stuff you don't want to watch ever again. when you add the digital video recorder to the package you can record all the shows you're not home to watch and view them at your leisure.  i work very odd hours and these options have revolutionized the way i watch tv. also consider that on demand programming is commercial free and that you can fast-forward through the ads you have recorded, and you will also spend less time watching tv all told.  do it.
