New Gallery HD series teaches you to paint like the masters

Tired of spending way too much loot on art classes? If so, it's time to make good use of Gallery HD (part of the VOOM HD collection), as it's gearing up to air an all new series that aims to teach aspiring painters "how to emulate the style of the world's greatest artists such as Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir and many others." The Forger's Masterclass series is scheduled to include ten half-hour episodes starting on March 3rd, and will be hosted by John Myatt, whose "stunning forgeries of Matisse, Chagall and Klee notoriously fooled the art world in the 1990s." If you're already anxious to grab your brush, make sure you're tuned into channel 9472 (DISH Network) or 714 (Cablevision) at 8:30PM just under a week from now. Oh, and lay down some plastic first -- things could get messy.

Bob Ross, where art thou?

This is yet another reason I like Voom. First, their movie channels actually show movies uncut and almost always in the OAR -- and use better bitrates than HBO. Then, their other channels have interesting stuff. And, it's all REAL HD content -- not this silly upconverted stretch-o-vision that so many of these new "national HD" channels are shoveling.

Hey don't forget you can watch the same damn show 18 times a day. Voom is quickly becoming a steaming pile.

Yeah, there are lots of repeats, but not that many more than other national channels (eg, history channel, DIY network, etc).
