Has Anyone Seen My Bootstraps?

A repository for all of my batty, unstable, and otherwise FUBAR musings. May occasionally contain rational content and opinions.

Who do I blame: Comcast or CBS? The Grammys!

Right.  So I am kicking back, watching the Grammys, critiquing fashion choices, singing along, and generally enjoying myself when it happens:  a flicker.  Followed by a freeze in the commercial.  Then another flicker and blackness.  I flip the cable box off.  Back on.  I am greeted with the following oh-so-helpful, incredibly informative message from Comcast:  "ONE MOMENT PLEASE.  This channel should be available shortly."

AYKM?!

Okay, no problem.  I grab ye olde laptop and point my trusty browser to cbs.com and live streaming of the Grammys.  And, lo, what do I find?  Crappity crap crap talking heads and NO LIVE STREAMING OF THE REAL SHOW!  I don't CARE what goes on backstage.  I don't CARE what these ya-hoos think about whatever, or that Carrie Underwood won Best New Artist x number of years ago, or that Bonnie Raitt is still alive and kicking and winning Grammys away from groups like The Lumineers and Mumford & Sons.  I WANT TO SEE THE SHOW!

Seriously, CBS, you think this extraneous garbage is what people want to see?  Why waste your bandwidth?

Am so frustrated right now.  Does that make any sense, CBS?  Who made that decision?  Y'all must be a company run by idiots, because this makes absolutely no sense.  I am steering my browser away from cbs.com.  If I'm going to watch TV on the computer, I'm going to watch REAL TV on the computer, not some mindless not-music drivel.

    Mr. Comcast representative,

    Thank you for your timely response to my post! Whatever the problem was, it was straightened out - unfortunately not in time to watch the rest of the Grammys, but American Idol is going strong right now and I can't complain (about the cable service, anyway - the singers, I'm not so sure...).

    Thanks again!
