Ugh...pledge month.

Detroit Public TV is killing me. Slowly but surely killing me. They're in the middle of a $22 million dollar campaign to switch to digital broadcasting. So their pledge drive is going on until they raise it all - it's been over 2 weeks already...

This happens to coincide with our decision to get rid of cable (and my beloved TiVo - sniff). It was actually great for a while - Josh loved Sid the Science Kid and Martha Speaks, and I was enjoying the limited amount of tv we watched.

BUT they've now switched to running the same stupid shows over and over each morning - Curious George, Clifford, and freaking Dragon Tales. And the couple that does the pledge drive - OMG. That's all I can say.

Someone please stick a pencil in my ear and end my misery.

Adam has begun to love Sid too! But even he doesn't want to watch tv anymore because of the pledge drive that will never end.

Would you rather they see Hanna Montana and Batman commercials every 5 minutes? It's a small price to pay for minimal commercialization...
