Formerly known as “The Learning Channel”

Remember when KFC was “Kentucky Fried Chicken?” When “fried” became taboo, the company deftly shifted the moniker to simply KFC. Well, these days learning is taboo and not only that, it’s boring! In a prophetic move, “The Learning Channel” re-branded itself as TLC in 1998 and never looked back. Free from the clumsy shackles of educational programming, the network has released such appalling drivel as “49 Kids and Counting.”

Last Saturday, TLC (Think Like Crazies?) premiered a new program featuring yet another magical dude pretending to talk to dead people. Only this time, he finds out which sucker…err..grieving family member is really supposed to get all the cool shit the deceased left behind. Who needs a will?
