tlc channel
ahh, the learning channel, aka TLC . you used to be one of my favorites, up there with discovery, history, and animal planet. that is, until you went and gone soft on me.
lately, i can’t help but notice that all you’ve been doing is “trading spaces” with networks
like oxygen and lifetime. you’ve aired shows like “what not to wear” and as a result, become what not to watch. a true “makeover story”.
perhaps the execs at discovery networks deemed you to be to too similar to your cooler older brother “the discovery channel” and you needed to establish your own niche. don’t envy discoveryHD and his award winning documentaries such as “planet earth”. don’t be jealous.
i’m onto you. TLC stands for “tender love and care”.
you have been removed from the “auto program” on my tv.
