Spinach Channel

Brought to you by my literary hero James Lileks (www.lileks.com). A spinach channel is a TV channel that shows stuff that's good for you, like PBS, C-Span and the Discovery Channel. As opposed to the candy channels, I suppose, like Comedy Central and — a low point of modern civilization — the Game Show Network. Last year around Christmas time, I actually saw the GSN rerunning game shows that had been aired in the early 1980s. What's worse, I watched. For several hours.

Your embarrassing TV-viewing revelations are welcome. Confession is good for the soul! And if it's a really, really good confession, perhaps we can air it on one of the all-religion channels.
