Anybody else see this?? (TV)

Posted on 09/27/2011 8:29:53 PM PDT by djf

Last night I was channel surfing and happened across about the last minute of a show called "Mike and Molly"

It was, as far as I can tell, the final closing credits.

It showed somebody holding an Ipod or some kind of hand-held and they were flicking through a bunch of pictures. Presumably, the stars. even though the two people in the pictures were clothed, it was totally obvious from the first picture *there were about 8 of them) that the two people were in sexual positions.

I was just wondering if other FReepers had caught this and what they thought. Do we really need demonstrations on TV of how obese people have to go through acrobatics to do it?

I, for one, was totally disgusted. Do they not even have censors/standards on network TV anymore?

Big difference between a feature film and me running into it at 8:30 PM on a regular TV network...

But maybe you are right. I should ignore my sensibilities and just shut up.
Anything goes, eh?

As long as it draws attention and sells product, it’s good, right?

I think there are many....we watch NCIS, The Amazing Race, Survivor and a few others that are family worthy of watching. But you are right, overall not so many good programs for a family to sit down and watch. I don’t know how old you are but the days of “The Waltons”, “Eight is Enough” and other programs like that are sadly over.

I thought Couples Retreat was funny. I don’t remember anything about it but I believe watching it I enjoyed it......

I’ve only seen CR on cable for free. Its awful but I find even the worst movies grow on you after repeated viewing on cable. The one exception is Dune, I walked out and to this day can only watch it briefly to laugh at it with my daughter.

I trust your stress in that sentence is on the word "obese" and not on the word "I'm."

In the late sixties, our local university TV station aired a very early short film by Roman Polanski, called Knife in the Water, which had brief female frontal nudity.

After the broadcast was over, I rewound the tape and played back that part, just to be sure.

Our republic is under assault by Marxist wolves in our midst, and you’re worrying about a tick infestation. Nice priorities.

No way, Impy. The Sox channel, NESN, is in an extra channel package, and I refuse to fund that group of leftist loons (the Red Sox front office, that is).

My contribution to starving the beast and all that...

The government is made of people.

If the people are not moral, you expect the government to be squeaky clean?

Not even close, dude.

I did forget to mention, starting next Thursday the funniest hour on TV starts: On FX both Sunny in Philly and The League will be on. 10-11, Eastern.

Hillarity ensues! Especially The League, which, surprisingly, a lot of folks don’t know about.

I was at a resort in costal Maine while watching it semi-loaded in the hotels theater and couldn’t wait to get the h out of there.
Maybe that added some bias....:)

I really like and respect the actor Jason Bateman so i’ll give it another chance.

We weren’t allowed to watch Peyton Place back in the day. That didn’t mean we couldn’t listen from the bedroom, LOL!

LOL!

We weren’t allowed to watch “Dallas” or “Hawaii-5-0”... probably past our bedtime... but we lived in a relatively small flat so could listen too :0)
