I agree with the assessment of A&E no longer being about the arts. Entertainment yeah, but they really lost what I felt was a great angle with some slightly more intellectual programming a long time ago.

I blame Biography. It used to be a great show with some valuable insite into the lives of historical figures, but when was the last time you saw an episode about Henry VIII or Benjamin Franklin (or even a Hollywood great like James Cagney)? You're more likely to see an update on the lives of such fascinating people as Pauly Shore or Howard K Stern.

Now the emphasis is all on the Entertainment and not at all on the Arts. Too bad. I really miss Pops Goes the Fourth and some of their other concert programming, especially during the holidays.

I was a Corey fan, mostly of Haim,...I still love LOST BOYS most of all...anyways, I spotted Haim at comic-con, I think it was last year, and was just surprised at his current look, not the cute pretty boy I once recalled...what ever he has been up to, well it proabably hasn't been clean living ;)

Just the other night I watched one of the classic Corey Feldman movies, The Burbs. And I can think of nothing more ridiculous than finding out what these two have been up to for the past 20 years. I'll tell you what they've been up to: Crack, Heroin, Pot, Extascy, Meth, ect.

I do like some of A&E's programming though. Mindfreak, and The First 48 are quality reality TV.
