Lance Chronicles

You gotta love this show. It’s so interesting and informative. I love it. There’s just one problem with it. There isn’t enough of if! They have done a great job of leaving the viewer wanting more but seriously, can we make this an hour show or what!

see, you’re just bragging. my school doesn’t allow you to get anything but “school-approved” channels, so while i don’t get oln, espn2, mtv2, or anything fun like that, i do get both cspan and cspan2, as well as foreign news (no, if you’re wondering, it’s not in english). very frustrating. i’ve been relegated to reading the transcript on thepaceline.com, which is SO not the same as seeing the footage.

Why was last nights show a rerun?? Kinda bummed me out.

Me to . What was up with that?

rerun from 8:30 - 9, new show from 9-9:30 that included some of the tour of georgia
.

The producers have very carefully placed clips of up coming shows throughout each episode so it takes a while for one to figure out weather you’ve seen a particular show. (Insidious) After you have viewed a few shows you begin to realize there is little value or content to the show your watching or the coming one’s. My guess is there’s only 10 minutes of new footage in each 30-minute Chronicl.

Someone please do the math and report back as I’m not watching any more Lance Chronicles just bike racing.

what school do you go to? don’t you have any friends that could tape it for you or couldn’t you go somewhere to watch it?

i go to case western reserve university, here in beautiful cleveland (soooo much sarcasm). i don’t have many friends who live off campus … there’s one moving out of my fraternity house in about a month, but i think he’s going to do what i’m doing when i move out (today, i’m very excited), which is not spend any money on cable and then come back to the frat whenever i have a hankering for south park. if not, i’ll definitely be asking him to tape le tour.

i thought i should append my previous rant. the channels we get, but no one watches, include the following:

cspan, cspan2, scola (foreign news), weather channel, lifetime, tlc, court-tv, and the nasa channel (yes, they have their own channel)… there are those who are upset that we get 4 channels of news (cnbc, headline news, cnn, and fox news), but i like the news.

also, i should mention that the fraternity’s lease on the house stipulates that we aren’t allowed to get a satellite tv or a different cable provider. we are FORCED to watch only what the university will let us watch. isn’t that against an amendment or something? someone get me my phone, i’m calling jonnie cochran!

CW was in my top 5… I think that would have eliminated it faster if I had known the TV situation… of course, you must have coed dorms or something to explain your other “problem”… it has to cost the univ. more to censor out channels, I’d complain to the student council about them wasting your money… or you could have parents complain, they are good for that, plus it’s usually their money, so they have a surprising amount of influence, it’s all about the $$$

I just wish we could get OLN on at the gym, instead of say, the History Channel, nothing more invigorating during a treadmill run than a documentary on the u-boat!!!

They had golf on the last time I ran on the treadmill, not much better than the History channel

We had golf the other day… the freaking Canadian Tour… it was interesting b/c the had a HR monitor on one of the golfers, he was hitting over 100 while putting, very stressful. I wondered if he trained at 100HR while putting or if he worked closer to his LT to improve performance :slight_smile:

I haven’t been that impressed with the show. I think it’s OK, but not great. I’ve watched a few episodes, but I don’t get upset if I miss one. What I do get upset about is staying up 'til 11:30 to watch the latest episode (which I wanted to see b/c of the Tour de Georgia clips), only to find out it was a re-run from last week. I was a bit upset at that.

I also get upset if I miss a stage of the Giro. Man, that’s been a great race.

Tivo, man… Tivo.
