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.........
