On The Weather Channel.

:wtf:

I mean, the movie has snow, I guess. Maybe next week they'll air Alexander Nevsky for the same reason?

6. I was about to make a comment on that.
I'm flipping through the channels, I see Misery....then I see at the bottom, The Weather Channel.

What ever happened to blue screen with the script of current conditions, five day forecasts, and a good selection of Muzack?

Do the names of cable channels mean anything in regards to content any more?

8. Simple. Current conditions and forecasts only hold viewers for a couple minutes.

And that translates to shitty advertising rates.

7. No the names don't mean much, they come from the marketing
department.
Here is Misery from Adult Swim/Robot Chicken, featuring Peanuts characters. A lot more fun than the original.

10. Maybe "Ice Storm" will be next...
"Misery" is a great movie, though. Kathy Bates rocks!
