So for the first time in a few weeks, I went to check the TV listings here and noticed they'd discontinued my old bookmarks. Odd, I thought, but it's happened before, so I went to set them back up. Only I noticed I had to log in to do that. Odd again, but it looked like they were updating things. I log in and set things up... ONLY TO NOTICE THEY'RE LISTINGS ARE NOW ALL IN FLASH
Seriously, I enjoy technology, but is Flash for freakin' TV listings necessary? It's taking longer to load (I've got broadband, but a sorta slower computer, and a TON of TV channels so it's gotta load like 10+ flash pages) Plus since I gotta log in to access the listings, I can no longer pull up seperate listings (I have the standard cable in my room and then digital downstairs)
Anyway, I'm just annoyed that yahoo ruined what was one of the most perfect things on the internet, IMO. Their TV listings were basic, well laid out and had the perfect options for me. Now... now they just annoy me.
Oh, and I switched from TV Guide's listings to Yahoo's a few years ago when TV Guide decided to go to Flash.
With that said, anyone know any good TV listing sites besides Yahoo and TV Guide that they can vouch for?

I don't know what Yahoo was thinking. Their flash mail is a huge pain in the butt that I won't use.

Years back? TV Guide only switched to Flash recently. I should know since I surf with no flash, activeX, or scripts able to run I have to turn them on specifically for that site and a couple others.

And their chat? Christ...forget about it. Can't go in there without some dickless f***ing c*** smear with a boot code kicking me out of there for no reason whatsoever.

You heard it here first, folks. Mad Johnny Maxx doesn't like to be booted, but he thinks Bret Michaels was a helluva singer!

Yes yes, I rocked out to some Poison back in the day...still do when I'm feeling a bit nostalgic...but when I'm trying to have a nice little conversation with people in the chat room, making with the jokes and then some putz has to go and launch his boot code...that just pisses me off...and is pretty much the reason I don't go in there anymore.
