I hate to miss The Closer. Love that show but its not network its TNT
I agree especially after having seen both Terry Bradshaw’s and Jack Nicholson’s backsides! Ewwww
I think all of you either do not subscribe to a large enough selection of programming or have strange tastes in selecting programming to turn to so you can complain.
I have way more TV to select from than I can watch without being forced into watching gay crap.
I do have Dish network’s largest package, but most of the year I only select from a small number of channels to watch. I only buy the large package to avoid missing something I really want to watch, primarily basketball games. (A luxury I buy because during the winter I watch a humongous amount of TV.)
Most of the year, I can find something on: Food, DIY, HGTV, Cooking, A&E, HIST, HIST2, one of 8 ESPN channels, CBS college Sports, DISC, Animal Planet, NTGEO, NATGW, Investigation Discovery, Science, Military, Travel, or a Fox sports or news channel.
Then there must be 100 movie channels that I never find time to watch. My DVR is constantly full.
All of you that are sick of gross programming just do a really poor job of selecting programming to watch or purchase.
I’ve noticed when people get cable they’ll end up watching just any old crap simply because it’s there.
You might want to remove Hawaii Five-0 from your list as I recently watched an episode where Dano (sp?) was screwing his ex-wife while she was still married to another man.
I blame Jack Warner for starting it all
Have you been watching the Animal Planet channel? LOL
Ooooo Thanks for that Link. I could find a lot there for myself as well. He did get his interest for old time radio from me.
Name a program that doesnt include premarital sex and/or adultery.
Little House on the Prairie
The Waltons
Brady Bunch (unrealistic blended family yes, but still a good show. If you recall both Mike and Carol lost a spouse due to death)
Touched by an Angel (will fit because it offers God’s forgiveness and people turning from sin)
The following still on re-runs...
Gilligan’s Island
Car 54 where are you?
The Munsters
Addams Family
Dragnet
Bewitched
I Dream of Jeannie
Gigget
The Flying Nun
Hogan’s Heros
MASH
Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (Bob Denver)
Gunsmoke (Starring James Arnes as Matt Dillion!)
Bonanza
Star Trek
Star Trek Next Generation
Star Trek (what ever else they have made, just check your local sci fi channel)
Gomer Pile USMC
Dick Van Dyke Show
Beverly Hillbillies
Twilight Zone
Green Acres
Mr. Ed
My Three Sons
the Odd Couple
Happy Days
Dukes of Hazard
Now why is it that the re-runs are so popular? Some like Gilligan’s Island ran for only three season but are still popular to this day? Oh gee I wonder why? NOT!
I was just thinking yesterday that I blame Clinton too, but for a different reason.
I think it was his admission that "oral sex isn't sex" (not to mention the 24/7 coverage of his sexual peccadillos) that helped to educate a whole new generation.
Now that generation has got hormones and they have complete confusion about what sex is or should be.
Those 2 from Arkansas did a whole lot of damage to this country in many more ways than one.
I am very fussy about what HGTV and programming like it I will watch. I still have TV but probably not for long. There is precious little fit to watch and getting worse every day. The sitcoms went by the wayside long ago.
You might start your son with “Speed Gibson of the International Secret Police”. It’s a serial meant for the youthful audience, but it’s VERY well done and I really enjoyed it myself. In case you’re wondering, the “secret police” in this case are the good guys.
Not only perversion, but casual vulgarity as well. Fifteen minutes ago my wife came in frothing at the mouth. She was channel surfing and hit some show where the pregnant women blurts out "Oh, my baby just kicked my vagina!"
Wife raved, "couldn't they just have said 'The baby kicked'?" I told her, no, this is television.
There's a crudity and vulgarity that is rapidly spreading throughout our society, to such an extent that I hear even old people (like me) saying something "sucked".
One day at the kitchen table we were watching Fox news and a Viagra commercial came on.
My boys asked me, “Dad, what’s erectile dysfunction?”
I asked them if they remembered us visiting their friend whose bearded dragon was lying in the bottom of his terrarium and wouldn’t eat or drink or move at all. They remembered the incident. I told them, “Boys, that’s reptile dysfunction.”
They said, “OHHH!”.
Again thanks allot. That sure beats the cassete tapes I have in my collection. Tapes I have listen too dozens of times.
