Item of Interest Number 3 The Website of Pete and Pete

Does anyone remember when the Sci-Fi network used to be cool? I used to be able to leave it on for hours and hours and not get sick of it. They had great shows like Sightings, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Friday the 13th the Series, and Quantum Leap. Now they have Farscape, Star Trek, Stargate, and Star-Star-Star. Sure, they show Quantum Leap every third Wednesday of every fifth month in which the first Friday falls on an even day, but how does that help? I saw a MST:3K repeat twice in the past six months, and both of those were due to happenstance. There's no predictability to their schedule. I mean, they need to restructure. They're losing viewers so they do what? They create another lame original series or two. They need to bring back some of the old-school stuff. Somebody needs to. Things like 'Tales from the Crypt' and 'VR5'. Also, they can start picking up cancelled shows from the past and making new episodes. Not, like, series type stuff, but story oriented things like like 'Night visions' and 'Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction'. That would be cool. Man, I need tons of money or control of a major network. I know what my fellow obscurists want. Sure, the fact that there are a very, very limited number of obscurists in the world comes in to play, but I think we deserve to have at least something besides the fancy title, the odd looks from the 'normal' people of society, and the constant hearing of "You actually like that!?"...

Ok, so if you're anyone outside of the people I interact with on a mostly-daily basis, you probably aren't familiar with Obscurism. I would think not, since I invented it. Well, not 'invented' it, because it's a lifestyle, so it sort of already existed, I just gave it a name and rules and I tell people that I invented it. Well, it was based on stuff I do, so I guess I deserve as much credit as anybody. Yeah...  ¶ 12:04 AM
