Hey,
I was just wondering if anyone else has done this. I was just dicking around tonight trying to get on t.v you know and i actually got through. I actually had a really good question: "With recent crapfest teenage slashers like Valentine, Is The Mothman Prophecies one of the better thrillers of the past few years?" I got to ask it and I got a free copy of the Disney Dvd Atlantis. Has anyone else ever done this? Anxious To see if my fellow schmoes do this kind of thing.

TXCN?? What is that? A public access channel or something? With a dozen or so viewers? Where, in order to hear it, you have to turn the volume up way louder than you would on any of the other channels?

For the real access movie shows, I guess you just have to be in Austin. Here we have The Reel Deal, a hilarious review show, The Show With No Name, which shows obscure trailers and other rare film/TV bits, and another show that plays cheesy horror movies (complete with "ghoulish host") Sorry, bad seed, Cuero just doesn't cut it. you can't beat us city slickers. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/wink.gif
