I just came across

June 5, 2001 by Michael Boyle

tvgohome for the first time tonight. As a friend described it, “As Monty Python is to the Smothers Brothers, tvgohome is to The Onion“.

The FAQ has a particularly funny bit: “Why use a JPEG for the listings instead of text?

Because I want precise control over the layout. And because it seriously annoys “real ale” Internet users who do all their browsing on text-based hand-held calculators, and that arouses me.”
