My wife likes the “Real Housewives of “. I call them the “Real Sluts of “.
This show represents the worst of American “moneyed” and “wannabe moneyed” society and presents a horrible picture of America to the world. ISIS could use it as a recruiting tool for jihadists who want to destroy the decade America (just like the Reds did in their propagandistic recruiting films and publications from Vietnam to Moscow, Managua to Chavez’s Venezuela).
The world watches American TV and much of what they are seeing today is total crap, third rate garbage produced by second rate hacks and greedy producers.
Where are the “Taxi”, “Cheers”, “WKRP Cincinnati” and other comedy shows that made you laugh, not puke?
The original CSI was brilliant in both content and acting, as were “Law and Order/SVU”, “Hill Street Blues”, etc.
I’m having a hard time finding a good comedian in a family show (such as Ray Romano in “Everybody Loves Raymond” - great cast), “All in the Family” (an oldie but goodie), “The Bill Cosby Show”, even the dopey “Soap” comedy soap-opera of old.
I want to be made to laugh, not insulted with cheap, vulgar pretend comedy lines and gags. And the leftist inserted into many of today’s shows is terrible, a liberal self-hating of our great country.
Call me old fashioned, but we laughed our asses off with Red Skelton, Red Buttons, Jackie Gleason, Ernie Kovacs, Steve Allen, Sid Cesar, Jack Benny, the Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, and Abbott and Costello.
Never a cuss word, never a slur, never putting down our country.
If you are happy with the crap today, tell me why, here at FR. (I know there are a few good shows but in general, TV sucks).
Society needs some basic standards in order to survive, and right now it is more like the only “standards” we have on TV (and in many movies) is “No Standards”.
I think it’s reasonable to note that whenever CSI touched on an area of science with which I’m familiar it was wildly inaccurate.
My wife and I have been enjoying Battle Creek. They had an episode involving the Maple Syrup Cartel that was hilarious.
Or possibly enjoyment requires a truly odd sense of humor like we have.
I’m actually surprised there hasn’t been a re-make of Abbott and Costello. That was some good comedy.
If you watch tv here in the Philippines, you don’t just get CSI and the slutty housewives stuff, but lots of blue collar heroes.
so if ISIS wants to use slutty housewives to recruit, they also have to admit they might have to fight Duck Dynasty or Swamp folks...
