An Open Letter to The Learning Channel

Dear TLC Executives,

I am writing to remind you of the meaning for your station acronym. TLC=The Learning Channel.

Every Saturday, I browse through your listings for the week because I used to enjoy your programs and I still hold a glimmer of hope that I will find something worth Tivo-ing. Alas, every week it's the same lineup.

I don't care about Jon, Kate or their eight children. I don't find women searching for a wedding dress the least bit interesting and I have no interest in babies or their trips home.

If you are experiencing success with this mind-numbing schedule of mama's, their babies, and their minivans, then, by all means, do what makes you money. Don't worry about be, I've got Nat Geo.

But please, for the sake of humanity and all things intelligent, change your name to "TSMC" - The Soccer Mom Channel.

  1. Maybe it should be "Soccer Mom To Be" channel. Don't forget "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant", "Wild Weddings", and "Cake Boss".

    They do throw in a "What Not to Wear", "American Chopper", and two delicious nights of back to back to back "48 Hours: Hard Evidence".
