The Green Sheet Revived

What is "The Green Sheet Revived"? "The Green Sheet Revived" is my way of bringing back "The Green Sheet." It's pretty simple.

Every Saturday morning I would be pumped to see the upcoming list of shows and movies to look forward to. I would sift through the morning paper to find the section inside properly colored green all over to let me know what to look out for throughout the upcoming week in TV. A few years ago I was completely shocked when the world was deprived of "The Green Sheet" and was replaced with a monochromatic stale replacement of "What's On?" which had the same content of "The Green Sheet" minus the green-my favorite part.

After awhile I came to at least appreciate the fact that the newspaper had not done away with the full TV listings of the week at a time and still had reviews for what to watch. To my horror, I found out recently that the newspaper would be doing away with tradition and cutting out more of what I used to know and love. I heard that the newspaper would be extending the hours of TV listings in "The Daily Break" which only gives a day by day forecast of programs and that is only a short portion of what "The Daily Break" covers.

So what am I and faithful "Green Sheet" followers supposed to do now? Are we expected to check the paper EVERY DAY for the listings? What if we need to know what will be happening in the world of television on Friday and it is only Saturday? What is the world coming to? Soon we will just have to watch TV and record everything on it on every station so nothing will be missed. This whole system is continually paving the way for more complicated and stressful viewing procedures. What about the reviews? It cannot be trusted that "The Daily Break" will give hearty time and space devotions in their section to only television. "The Daily Break" is meant to encompass the wide variety of entertainment worldwide and all sorts of media in one tiny section of the newspaper. It cannot be done.

My mission is to bring back the aura of "The Green Sheet" as best I can with my personal reviews of my favorite things to watch, and other specialties that will catch my eye. I hope that at the very least the green color of my background inspires hope for generations to come that "The Green Sheet" will not be soon forgotten and will be in our hearts forever.
