Garbage on Television (a vanity thread)
any network you can name | Sunday, September 18, 2005 | me and everyone else

Posted on 09/18/2005 5:21:27 PM PDT by SunkenCiv

"Prison Break" looks like an abomination. I don't think criminals need further glorification -- BET and MTV are more than enough for anyone, regardless of how strong their stomach is.

The ads for "Prison Break" really tinkled me off, and IMV FR is the place to talk about it. The jackasses responsible for the show should be fired and blackballed.

Sports, FOX News, and the History Channel.
All else is garbage.

There's another POS coming on Fox (I think it was) that is supposed to be a detective show, but in the ad, women are screaming as tarantulas are crawling over them, that kind of thing. Basically, it's "Fear Factor" -- and all so-called reality TV is garbage.

I think it's about an undercover agent who goes to prison to find info for some case, but that's all i know about it. I turned it off after 10 minutes.

Wanna complain about garbage on TV, Will And Grace, 60 Minutes and Extreme Makeover top my lists.

I guess working nights has weaned me from TV, at least that's part of the reason, but mostly TV has been slipping down the porcelain maelstrom for a while.

Maybe it would be easier to make a list (as Porterville did) of stuff that doesn't suck. :'D Heinous shows need to be ridiculed off the air. The idea for this thread made more sense when I saw this one:

Who watches television anymore?

The computer provides up to the minute coverage.

And vidios and dvds provide the entertainment I want.

Television...is for the stupid.

I've always hated network TV. Since I discovered Netflix I can watch what I want without commercials. My latest craze is watching every X-Files episode. 6 seasons down, 2 to go. I love it. DVD nirvana.

You should also add the Rush Limbaugh Radio Talk Show to that group. Rush is on a mission to nail liberals and he has my help.

I agree! I quit watching Dan Rather and 60 Minutes about 6 or 7 years ago when he broadcast a bogus report on how military guys abuse their wives. The evidence that he provided was completely bogus!

(LOL) I root for Dale Junior's racing skills.

I really admire the NASCAR drivers, most of whom say that they support President Bush and the troops.

34. Prince Harry's father is not Prince Charles
by Catrinel Bartolomeu
It was clear -- and tacitly accepted -- that after only a few years of marriage, Prince Charles and Princess Diana were cheating on each other. Prince Harry was born in September 1984, and after the public glimpsed his puglike features and red hair, rumors began to circulate that he was the product of Diana's affair with army officer Major James Hewitt. Diana publicly admitted her liaison in 1995, but insisted that she met Hewitt too late for him to be Harry's father. Hewitt too claims that he first met Diana in May of 1986, when Harry was twenty months old. Simone Simmons, a former close friend of the Princess, wrote Diana: The Last Word, a book serialized in The Sun. In it, she clamed that Diana was forced to carry out paternity tests on both Harry and his brother, Prince William. The tests reportedly showed that both boys were fathered by Prince Charles.
