Corner gas was good.
I wanted to be Lacy’s man.
Leave Dharma and Greg alone. At least it included conservatives, and it treated them decently. I’ll never forget how one conservative gal on the show tried to pronounce Dharma’s name: duh-harr-muh.
Dysfunctional family building choppers.
“The Good Wife” is very good, well-written and paced with a good plot.
“Chicago Code” shows some potential.
And check out “MI-5”, an excellent British spy series. It’s being shown here on Saturday nites on (surprisingly) PBS.
All this stuff you can also get on DVD or Netflix, I think. There is a ton of crap out there, but also some good stuff.
Speaking of old western series.
I could never understand why the coward carried that broken sword around all the time. If it were me, I’d chuck it in the nearest river so the locals wouldn’t try to run me out of town all the time.
People on a five-year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out....
Wait, that one is still OK
Would you watch a TV show of Tea Partiers eating Rinos?
But its so flat there!
There used to be mountains over there juttin up all majestic.
The shows you listed are the only alternatives one has to pure, unadulterated filth and obscenity. With nothing else to break up reading and work, I endure them. They beat watching ditzy hens cackling about nothing too.
If I ever find myself watchng “The View” I’ll know it’s time to cash it in.
My wife and I find some escape at Turner Classic Movies.
I have Direct TV and the Rifleman comes on every afternoon along with Daniel Boone and Green Acres. It is WHT....World Harvest Television. I have to admit to occasionally watching Green Acres. OK, so it’s not deep and thought provoking but with the complexities of life today it is refreshingly simple.
“My wife and I find some escape at Turner Classic Movies.”
Yes, I like those too! I think we’re fast approaching the time when movies with real scenery and panoramic views will be a thing of the past. It’s increasingly common that everything in the background of the newer movies is computer generated and has nothing to do with reality. In comparison, even the old movies are striking in their color and vibrancy.
Vampire anything
I was thinking to myself just yesterday that I’m crazy as all get out for paying good money for the crap on tv these days.
I have to agree with you.
Oddly enough, I find it therapeutic.
They could stop with the water works too. The other night my wife and I were flipping through the channels and on virtually every channel someone was crying about something. Good God, dry it up already.
I like Fox.
Whenever I get sick I clean up before I go to bed because I always think, “this is where they’ll find the body.”
Why not just unplug the TV?
