Treadmill TV Viewing Option Analysis

I enjoy running. I despise running on a treadmill. At least the gym I am a member of offers 6 TV viewing options in an attempt to cancel out the crapiness of running on a treadmill. Here is an analysis of the viewing options during today's lunch run. This is a totally arbitrary watchability metric I concocted out of thin air.

Fox Local - Local 12:00PM news. At least the 12:00PM team is not as wonky as the 9:00PM team. You tune into the 9PM team because its a train wreck and you want to watch the show. Of course weather lady was indicating a chance for more snow this week so that knocked it down a bit.

ESPN2 - First Take. There is only so much Chip Bayless one can take in a week. Since this was my second dreadmill run of the week I had reached my Chip Bayless quota for the month. However First Take finished second in the watchability rating barely eeking out a victory over Fox Local.

Photo Stream - This is a photo stream of the various programs, trainers, and sevices offered at the gym. All of the photos are sized incorrectly to the 16:9 resolution ratio of the TV. So every picture and video is blurry and/or stretched. So annoying.

Fox News - Ahh yes the typical right wing slanted news perspective. "Thanks Obama". I am a conservative but it is hard to watch this "news" outlet at times. Those times are most times.

CBS - Bold and the Beautiful. I kid you not at one point on the closed caption it stated - Heather: [Heavy Breathing]. Heather was a 50s something blonde lady who looked more like a 70s something blonde lady. Guess that Bold in all actuality means Old, whereas beautiful does not mean beautiful. Of course that is a synopsis based on exactly 23 seconds of viewing. That was about all I could stand to look at. I'd rather run on a treadmill than watch that show, and that is saying something.

ESPN - Sports Center. Can't really go wrong with Sports Center for a guy that enjoys watching and playing sports. Main problem is this TV was on the end so I had to turn my head. It is hard enough not to fly off a treadmill for me looking forward.
