Cable TV mysteries
I'm not a big TV watcher-- in fact, I am thinking about cutting the cable, since I watch so rarely. Even so, I'm a little shocked at how little I know about popular shows these days. Below is a list of the most popular shows on cable last Friday, in order. Not only have I not seen these shows, I haven't heard of most of them. I haven't even heard of many of these networks! Home and Garden has a TV channel???? And what in the world is "BizAardvark?" I'm kind of hoping that BizAardvark is a re-imagining of the Arthur cartoon with more of a business focus, but I'm probably wrong...

We do not have cable or dish. But when we travel, we like to watch MSNBC, and especially Rachel Maddow. Mostly we watch Netflix series and news, and follow a couple of CBS series. Don't have time for most TV!

I would like you to know that the only show on that list I watched last Friday was The Rachel Maddow Show. That said, I have heard of HGTV, The Food Network, A&E, ESPN and the Disney Channel. The shows however are lost on me.
Professor, how can you be so connected to Waco and not know HGTV? Chip and Joanna Gaines of 'Fixer Upper' (HGTV show) fame have basically launched an empire in your old neighborhood...
Oh, them! I haven't seen the show. They did live two doors down from me in Waco, though-- in a house previously occupied by Todd Lake and Linda Livingstone (at separate times).
