The Five is newz targeted for females and morons of both sexes. Their ideal viewer is a female moron.

All the working hours stuff on FOX is targeted at split tails

Hence why so many of the bobble heads on FOX are with men from 8-7

Their audience is mostly women then

I can tolerate some of them...but not many anymore

in the mornings I now watch Robin Meade and her cute butt prance around the stage in midtown Atlanta

I know she’s likely a libtard but I can deal with it

Fox thinks they are the arbiters of what’s good for us and I can smell the rosebud Pancho on the upper lips of Rupert and Ailes from here

I avoid it now and their comprehensive ratings show it

I only see “The View” when I’m somewhere and it’s turned to that channel - like the other day and one of them was having a baby shower and the audience was getting diapers and baby strollers, at least the political talk was pushed aside.

I can’t stand “The Five” either - people sitting around chatting about nothing - it’s as if “Seinfield” lives - I can’t turn the channel fast enough.

Yuck.

The list of political “chat” shows is long and deary and divisive and they aren’t helping the tone or tenor of our national mood - in fact they get ratings by turning up the heat and stirring the pot.

The Johnny Carson show is now back on Antenna TV each night.
It is nice to see real stars and not the schlock that is on today.

You’re welcome. It’s refreshing to hear some sounds from the past.

I hope a few FReepers will share links to some of their “memories” or to their new likes.

Yes!

“Reality” TV! The longer shows run, the faster they rely on ever increasing stupid behavior - is that because their fans want to see that - has our society sunk so low?

And “SOCIAL” media is divisive!

TMI and too many too-quick-on-the-draw snotty tweets.

Our culture is in the #rapper.

“History” is revised and “science” is heavily politicized.

The fact that students aren’t being taught REAL history and REAL science makes them sponges for this “Krap.”

OK...Now THIS is a good thread! Thank You!

Only made it through Roy so far, but well worth it. Dang, what a voice!

I’ve seen several versions of him singing that, but not that particular one.

FR’s resident expert on RO is txrangerette.

I hope she’ll add some of his best - which is about all of them.

Put away the bottle, and go to bed.

Cilla Black just passed away last year. Here is her first number one hit, from 1964, the Bacharach-David song “Anyone who had a Heart”:

Is that projection?

I’m up, sunny and happy and enjoying my morning.
