Calcaterra: The Braves are no longer America's team

This is actually a commentary on a blog post over at the ol' AJC. A great read.

Well no shit, sherlock...

It’s hard to go from a multi-national TV audience to one that’s barely even multi-county most nights of the week.

Not true, I get the Braves every night in Tn, and so do friends in GA, AL,NC, SC and MS.
I’m not saying every county in each of these states get it because some rural areas don"t have cable.
Just don"t make it sound worse than it is.

If you don't get digital cable, it's HARD to find Peachtree outside of the immediate ATL metro area

TBS opted for hours and hours of Family Guy over the Braves.

But hey, one of the few perks of living in the south. Let “America” pull for the Yanks and Red Sox. I’m not going to burn for it; they are. lmao

Watching more than an hour of Family Guy causes insanity. One or two eps is ok, but Jesus……Family Guy is Busch League comedy.

You're kidding, right?

Family guy is some of the best television out there.

not at all. The show is ok in small doses.

Some of the “3 minute bits,” as I call them, probably have Seth McFarlane and a few others laughing hysterically……….and everyone else is just rolling their eyes.

I don't know who the "everyone else" you refer to is...

But I’ve never watched with anybody I know who didn’t love it.

South Park is hysterical. Family Guy is funny.

For instance, this could very well be a “joke” in an episode of Family guy……

(2 people standing in a room. One of them starts to do this…….)

Person #1: Heh………………………………….heh……………………………heh heh……………………………………………………………….heh…………………………………………………..heh…………………………………heh…………………………heh……………………………………………heh……………..heh…..heh…………………………….

(this continues for the next 2 minutes)

and that is the “joke.”
