#3 I liked ITV and German TV on the old ITN network. Now Gore fired everybody, changed the name and put on absolute garbage.

What did he get for 1 billion? An Uplink?

#5 I read another review that suggested Howlin' Al's new TV show was permantly stuck in the 90's. I haven't seen it myself but I'll take his word for it.
