It's been about five years now since I swore off cable TV. It all felt like the same with one or two distinctions. I have always preferred my news in print form, and of course the WWW provides the opportunity to always find what I missed.
I have to admit that I expected there to be much more interesting programing produced for the web than I have found. Maybe I am not looking hard enough. I would appreciate some more tips.
I did have the pleasure of finding Doctor Steel though. He is a wonderful whack job, blending Pee Wee Herman with a fascist mad scientist in bondage gear vibe. He's got quite a few episodes up on YouTube now and I recommend checking them out when you've decided you have some time to kill. They are nice work all around: great performance, art direction, archive sourcing, and overall directing.
This is episode 2 to give you a taste:

The San Francisco Film Society wrapped its 56th San Francisco International Film Festival
with 263 screenings of 158 films from 51 countries, which were attended
by over 210 filmmakers and industry guests from over 21 countries
around the globe. During its 15-day run, SFIFF56 showed 67 Narrative
Features, 28 Documentary Features and a total of 63 short films.
This
year the International awarded over $70,000 in prizes—one of the
largest cash totals distributed by a U.S. film festival—to emerging and
established filmmakers from ten countries around the world. Below are
the award winning films.
Due to unprecedented
demand, Steven Soderbergh has given The San Francisco Film Society
permission to release this video that was recorded initially only for
archival purposes. The full transcript is also provided.
