No one should watch television, especially not children.

The crazy thing is, a lot of networks will no longer show Bugs Bunny, and those that do often edit certain sections out...because Bugs is considered to be too violent! It’s insane.

“I hope this guy never finds out about South Park on Comedy Central...”

Or “Family Guy”, everywhere, on broadcast TV, at all hours.

Family Guy is probably the filthiest, most subversive, truly awful show that has ever been shown on American broadcast TV.

And yet there is even a Stewie (the evil baby) balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which fact boggles my mind.

Look I’m not going to lie, I like the show (sort of), it’s hysterical (often), it makes fun of liberals (sometimes), but it’s just, just, just....horrendous, that’s the only word for it.

The only explanation I can come up with is that things move sofast! on the show that much of it goes right over people’s heads.

Although how you miss the “Prom night dumpster baby” song and dance routine, with a Busby Berkley style line of poor discarded newborns swinging their umbilical cords, that I just don’t know.

My favorite was the Barbershop Quartet telling the patient that he has full-blown AIDS.

I love Hank Hill. I would love to have him as my neighbor!!!

I’m with you. I got rid of my television 7 years ago and don’t miss it at all. It’s all dreck. When I go to a friend’s house and they let me flip through the channels, I flip a few times and then hand back the control and just turn my chair so the back is to the tv (because most people seem to need it on even when company is there.)

“My favorite was the Barbershop Quartet telling the patient that he has full-blown AIDS.”

Although I don’t think I ever saw that one, I feel like I can picture it in my head right now! “Yooooou have AAAAAAAIDS!”

Hubby and I always joke about the one where it’s the end of the world, or something, and the family ends up in some isolated place that is actually safe, but they leave because Randy Newman is there and he incessantly sings EVERY SINGLE THING that is happening.

My kid was older when this show came on, if I had little kids I wouldn’t let them watch it, obviously. And I think it is wrong the times it is on.

I remember years ago some local NY channel showed “Midnight Cowboy” at 6 pm on a Saturday afternoon. I ran to change the channel and as my brother in law pointed out: it’s not called “Dinnertime Cowboy”.

Doctor: I'm not sure how to tell you this... SO I'LL LET THESE GUYS DO IT!

You have aids
Yes you have aids
I hate to tell you boy that you have aids
You've got the aids
You may have caught it when you stuck that filthy needle in here
Or maybe all that unprotected sex you adhere
It isn't clear

But what we're searching for is you have aids
Yes you have aids
Not H.I.V. but full blown aids...

Be sure that you see
That this is not H.I.V.
But really full blown aids...
Not H.I.V. but really
Full blown aids

I'm sorry I wish it was something less serious.......
FULL BLOWN AIDS..
You've got the aiiiiiiiiii----iiiids..
