Defining Deviancy Down -- Again
Defining Deviancy Down -- Again
So don’t watch it.
The networks have completely ruined the Soaps with this stuff...now primetime. And they are clueless as to why people tune them out.
I know that the liberals will say that this type of show is good family entertainment.
I wish the liberals would be intellectually honest enough to admit that a show like this couldn’t have been on TV ten or 20 years ago.
I wish they would admit that their constant pushing the envelope got us to this point where portraying this behavior is considered ok.
Nothing new in sitcoms.
ABC’s Three’s Company 30 years ago had an older divorcee Lana chasing the male lead Jack Tripper.
You can count on Hollywood doing their depraved thing.
Courtney Cox is disturbed.
This is absurd. Besides Sarah Palin I can’t think of any old chicks I’d wanna get down with.
There’s always the V-Chip.
After all, a 40-something divorcée with several children and limited moral fiber is exactly what I want for my son.
Well, let’s see, among your other choices, a 17 year old drug addled goth, a thirty year old gay man, or a twenty something air head who will leave him and break his heart.
A couger just might be the best thing to happen to him.
Burlesque, ala 2009 ... Nothing new here, folks ... Life goes on..
Imagine this new show...
A guy turns 55 and finds himself recently divorced. What to do? Why hit on women who are 20 to 30 years of age of course. We’ll call the show, Lions on the Prowl.
Think women will find that show cute?
ABC has one butt ugly way of portraying older women. ABC evidently isn’t too knowledgeable regarding women who are 55. Generally they’re looking for a soul mate, not a kid who is still wet behind the ears, yet able to boink like a rock start.
Hey Carol, I’d like you to meet my new significant other. He doesn’t remember John Kennedy, the race to the moon, the Eagles, Queen, the Beatles, the Beegees, and the Iran Hostage crisis. He thinks Magic Johnson is ancient, and Michael Jackson is only a distant memory for him, something almost forgotten due to youth.
We have such long deep talks about life. Of course they’re all about last night in the sack or perhaps refer to our vacation six weeks ago. Other than that, we have nothing in common to talk about.
Boy can that kid boink though. Lucky for him my grand daughter is helping him with his math assignments.
Very impressive ABC. The problem is, I don’t think you were trying to convey the image you have.
Between this and the “A new kind of family” ABC family channel I’d have to place this network at the lowest rung of the quality television ladder.
You almost sound like Peggy Noonan dogging Sarah Palin....
So there *is* life after newspapers, then. /sarc>
Cheers!
I hate to say this, but I checked out the 3 minute preview the article linked to, and laughed my arse off. Speaking of “Perversion Alerts,” have you checked out any of the “Not guilty” or “I’d hit that” threads? We could be a little more family friendly around here.
And I don’t laugh my arse off at the Not guilty and I’d hit that threads.
I myself like cougars.
Disappointed to see Bill Lawrence (Scrubs) involved. Scrubs was one of my favorite shows and had one the absolute best final episodes/scenes ever....right up there with last episode/scene of “Dead Like Me”.
When I was in my 20's, I met a woman who was 41, divorced a year, and who had a son a little younger than I was. We hit it off at a meeting of some kind, and went out a few times after that. She could cook, had a great outlook on life, and was a lot of fun. After we went out a few times, she went to a high school reunion, met a guy from her class, and married him. When I saw her years later, she told me that getting and keeping the attention of a younger guy was a great confidence builder for her, and that our time together made her feel like a woman again. So it worked out.
Would I want my own kid going out with someone 15 years his senior? Not when he's 15! But I've seen successful relationships where the woman is older than the guy (40/26, for example), and it can work. But putting it up on tv and making the women out to be whores does women a severe injustice, and reduces the relationships to romps in the sack with a stud.
That being said, were I ever to be placed "on the market" again, I wouldn't spend my time with women in their 20's. Probably not even 30's. I'd take a divorcee in her 40's with something to prove...
