Buh-bye.
With the single exception of the first season (and ONLY the first season, since any further seasons would have cost me out the ass to watch) of "Jamestown", I've neither watched nor followed ANY of the "public broadcasting" offerings since the days of Tavis Smiley back in the 1990's, when it became clear they were going blithely down the Leninist garden path... probably since they could no longer depend on the Soviets to provide their propaganda, since the Soviets had been vanquished and were no more. If I wanted communist indoctrination, I could have just gone down to a Pathfinder Bookstore and read all the communist propaganda that my head could hold - no need for the public to pay to have it delivered to me.
So, buh-bye - I ain't gonna miss it. At all. I do find it funny how they were getting all that tax money and STILL begging the public for donations every couple of months because "PBS depends on YOUR donations to stay on the air".
Everything is a money-grabbing racket these days, it seems.
