Appreciate Belinda Acosta's "TV Eye"

Dear Editor,
    I appreciate Belinda Acosta's informative “TV Eye” columns on the ups and downs of TV programming. I trust Ms. Acosta's insight to allow me to cut through the bullshit and monotony of much of what TV has to offer in favor of the more compelling shows. I also applaud Ms. Acosta's wish for the new year in “TV Eye” on December 31, 2010, in which she calls cable television subscriptions out for being overpriced, outdated, and saturated with annoyingly terrible commercials. On the point of being overpriced, it's one thing to have to pay 50, 60, or 70 dollars for a service with few or no commercials, but to pay the same amount for a service that spends 20 minutes of every hour trying to sell you stuff that you don't want or need is a sham and an outrage. Either make cable cheap ($10 a month) or make it expensive (like it already is) and cut out 80% of the commercials. I encourage and support the movement to cancel cable service in favor of getting other services with few or no commercials like Netflix and/or just a plain old Internet connection. It's time to break the corporate cable stranglehold on TV programming. Thanks for taking the lead on this in such a public way.
