Another example of "The Screamers" at work ...

I too leave the TV on - the Mutts are goofie enough to lie on the BigBed
and let the Idiot Box lull them into Zzzzz-land (as if they need help to sleep!)

The "4th Hour" of the NBC TODAY Show "features" ?? the "Two Dizzies" -
Hoda and KathyLee - who seem to SCREAM their entire show ?? -
and most often they SCREAM at each other at the SAME Time =
Stereo Screaming - with neither of them being understandable!

I've seen the Mutts wake up - STARE at the SCREAMING TV - then *shake* their heads and retreat to the peace & quiet of the living room.

If the on-air SCREAMING gets bad enough, I'll go in and punch the OFF button.
The *silence* becomes almost deafening.
