"Good" in the context of "television" is a contradiction of terms.

Television sucks, I'd rather take a good couple hours of my life blasting Doom baddies into oblivion.

I have no idea what Ruedii said (reference to something I don't know probably) but "deaf-mutes" reminded me of an episode of the dark English comedy League of Gentleman. Hilarious stuff, Ozymandias, have you seen that one?
