Time Warner CBS Blackout - Oooh, but look at what you get in exchange for Letterman...so crazy! They need to put David Letterman back on for ALL viewers...

Okay, so I just got an email from Time Warner Cable, I guess because I used to be a customer, I just stopped being a customer before this whole withdrawal of CBS shows has come to be - what on earth are they thinking???  But I've been watching The Late Show with David Letterman, and, omg, he is soo funny with the whole Time Warner blackout thing... it's the craziest thing! 

So here's a little tidbit I just got in my email from Time Warner Cable:

Offering Starz Kids & Family premium channel on a temporary preview basis;
Making the Tennis Channel available to you at no additional charge during the two weeks of the US Open beginning August 26*;

Hahahahaahah!!  Ooooh, did you just say all your Time Warner customers can have TENNIS (riveting, just like the banter between David and Paul on Letterman...), AND Starz Kids and Family???  Oh, boy!  Sounds like top-quality shows I would NEVER watch....

So what gives??  What are Time Warner customers doing about this? Do they have any real recourse? I know where I had Time Warner, it was part of my HOA package, I just paid extra for all my fave shows (noooo, that didn't include Tennis ans Starz Kids.... and Family! hahaahahahaha!

Is Time Warner trying to shut itself down?  Make all their customers so mad, there's a mass evacuation... who else is out there? AT&T? I can't remember who else is in the Los Angeles area... I'll check into it for you, and for my own curiosity, because I'm pretty sure we had a different company for a while at a different place.... I'll check for New York, too, since a lot of the jokes on David Letterman were about TV viewers in New York - oh, man, when Letterman brought out this old guy who was pretending to be the CEO of Time Warner, that was hilarious! Soo funny!

Okay, I hope they sort this all out - seems like the viewers are the ones who are losing out on everything - I hope Time Warner and CBS can work this whole thing out, put all our fave shows back on the air for everyone - and I'm sooo glad I have Shaw!

Oh, and for the record, I love the people who work for Time Warner, especially all the folks at the bottom of the hill in Culver City, California - they couldn't be any sweeter, so this is from the higher ups, not the regular people at Time Warner... : )

Happy TV Watching!
