I sit here in a rage, when the ads come on the radio, that show the man as stupid and the woman as so smart, that she really does not need him.

Aren't those commercials (and TV shows too) ridiculous? They lampoon men at every turn. Don't the men that work in Hollywood notice this? And they also make the unmarried mother into some kind of hero - instead of portraying her as irresponsible and self-centered, as many are.

What is wrong today, is a lack of role models, men are stupid, cops are evil, teachers stupid and the preachers are demons, how well the communists carried out their brainwashing.

Well, there ARE some role models. Immoral Hollywood types, drugged out athletes, and of course, Obama. Yech.

Next time you turn on the tv, take a look at the pattern of speaking, the sounds are jerky and the blinking lights, all good brainwashing tools, and also good for keeping folks revved up, so they need a pill to calm down.

I like watching the old shows on TV land. They were full of content and acting, not the crap that's on today. Such a difference! And the shows from the 60s run about 52 minutes, while the shows from the 70s run about 47. Today, we 'might' get 40 minutes without a commercial! (I bought some Perry Mason and Waltons DVDs and checked the playing time on the episodes).

The banners running across most TV shows and the little people in the corners of the screens jumping up and down make me crazy. Even in news shows, when the anchor is speaking - there is typically yet another headline going across the screen. That's just too much to have to take in when 'relaxing' in front of the tube. And we wonder why our kids can't settle down and pay attention! ADD drugs are handed out freely - we should just eliminate all the distractions that create the problem. That would include those TVs too, wouldn't it? ;)

Do the drug manufacturers own the tv stations?

I would need a drug, in order to watch it, as I do not like things that move and they make me sick, via the eyes.

I saw a lady in a class I was taking, have an epileptic fit, sitting beside me.

Another in the class knew what to do, and took over.

She was a lovely 25 year old mother and we knew that she was an epileptic so that at least was not a surprise.

Later she told me that she knew to not watch those old movies, for they jumped around and would set her off into a fit.

If it gave her a bad incident, then what is all that jumping around doing to the people who watch it?

I know that depression is a big danger today, even in Kingman today the cops were answering calls of planned and attempted suicides today, they were attempting it in pairs.

There are a lot of suicides today, more than I heard a year ago.

I agree, years ago, there were many programs, with a plot and actors and of course that was still in the era that the bad guy lost.........

“I like watching the old shows on TV land. “

Not sure about “content” but hubby started recording Green Acres a few weeks ago. I think he was looking for something funny to get away from all the daily stress in our lives these days. We watched an episode the other night - even our 16 year old son was laughing along with us.

I cringe with some of the shows on TV nowadays. They seem to be leading the way for many in our society - unfortunately down the wrong path.
