We tuned in because we all had an "Uncle Archie". But we had our own mind....sometimes agreed...sometimes didn't.

We are NOT puppets.

I’m The Slime-Frank Zappa (1973)

I am gross and perverted
I’m obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I am the tool of the government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think I’m delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin’ out
From your tv set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t go for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That’s right, folks..
Don’t touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your living room floor

I am the slime from your video
Cant stop the slime, people, lookit me go

My point was that Lear created the show thinking that America would tune-in and agree with Meathead.

It didn’t. Lear is 96 and that still eats at him
every day.

I can say for sure that hate filled lefties are probably the only “group” that enjoys SNL.

It’s stupid to label people with the colors that were once used on a map to show which states voted Republican, and which voted Democrat.

I cannot believe how bad the editing and writing is in this article.

Norman Lear Center at USC Annenberg aka DNC West.

Can’t stand the Hallmark Channel.
Agree 100%. But when I do happen to surf onto it, I notice they run Christmas shows 24/7 beginning in October. SOBs.

They have over 200 Christmas movies in the library. I just don’t go there. I locked it out in the cable box.

Haven’t watched anything except Netflix documentaries, the occasional science fiction movie on Prime, or the Grand Tour for years.

Mythbusters rocked, though.

And something coming out of a place called the “Norman Lear Center” is considered credible, why?

I have not had a television with cable in my house my entire adult life

My children have never had a TV in their house

Other than good sports contest for which I go to a bar there is absolutely no reason to have television in the house 1000 channels of it or not

In particular news on television is complete utter liberal claptrap painted face faggot nonsense

I highly suggest to all conservatives of which 99% are on this site to just get rid of cable TV all together

And if you do keep it never ever ever watch the news on TV except for maybe Hannity or Tucker Carlson early Dobbs

We haven’t had a television of any sort since 1996. We’ve survived!

Even if I did not watch any TV shows, I would have a TV in order to watch classic films or operas.

Cordcutter alert: Tucker, Hannity, Gutfeld and Judge Jeanine are typically re-posted to Youtube within hours of their live telecast. These days, Tucker Carlson is usually posted on Youtube less than 90 minutes after the live program.

"Purples consume the most TV. They tend to take action based on what they learn about politics and social issues from fictional movies and TV. "

How does that differ from blues? You can tell this was written by a lib.

We watch news and sports. In Dec. we will cancel our satellite service and have free over-the-air TV, like the good old days when there were only three channels. On many evenings, there were three excellent shows on at the same time. Now, you pay for 200 channels and can’t find anything worth watching.

Mythbusters Jr with Adam Savage and a group of kids is pretty good, too.

The first reboot didn’t work well though. The guys were OK, but there was no magic.
