tv makes me mad....

ok, does eveyone else wonder this too?

why does tv programming include the dumbest shows: westminster dog show, tennis, golf, and everything related.

But rock crawling/ offroad tech is limited to once a week on xtreme 4x4 and speed channel.

i know im biased toward gearhead stuff, but dosent it seem like a offroad trail/ race/ tech show would draw more audiences than what i mentioned above? would people REALLY be more interested in watching instant replays of a golf ball going in a hole? Shows go by ratings, and advertisers promote them, right? who spends more money with companies, tennis players, or off roaders? i spent almost $12,500 in 09 on off road stuff, and almost $9k in 08. tell me my freinds in triple crown spend that on golf or tennis.

so, as you can tell, im flipping thru the channels tonight trying to find something good. and it aint happening.

Top Truck Challenge replay on the Outdoor channel Monday, poor coverage though.

The sheer number of folks playing tennis and golf far outweigh those of us wheeling, therefore I would venture to say more money is spent every year on these sports than we spend on wheeling.

X2, there are 4 people at work that play golf, and everyone but me watches "ball sports", I'm the only one thats into 4x4s or anything with a motor so I'd say all those @$$ holes spend more money on their lame hobbies than I do on mine...
