I grew up with a handful of TV channels and no internet. There were times where you were choosing between The People's Court and Wheel of Fortune or reruns of What's Happenin!

I spend the first two hours of my working day listening to the following:
- ear drum busting rap with some dude so auto-tuned it could be anyone
- a conversation about Drake
- A conversation about Kanye
- a conversation about which rapper would win in a fist fight
- a conversation about $200+ sneakers that are $200 for no particular reason
- someone whining about getting bbq pork on either those sneakers or their equally overpriced workout clothes they wear as fashion
- a conversation about "drifting" with their front wheel drive Kias

I am an uncultured buffoon who idolizes Vince McMahon.

I list Bay of Blood among my favorites.

I also liked the 1960's Batman show and The Munsters.

This is insanity, all Disney owned properties get sucked off like no other by the media, and the only female woman property of DC. Coincidence all others by DC get buried? Pfft
I think DC are struggling for an identity.
