Ted "I've Ditched the Toupee" Danson was asked the question: ARE YOU OPTIMISTIC THAT PEOPLE'S ATTITUDES CAN CHANGE? (in reference to the marine ecosystem but his general outlook on life)

"Yes. For me, you have to drop down to the spiritual level and say "why are you here?" You're here to learn and grow and learn more about yourself and grow, and what better place and what better challenges to face than these? I don't think it's a matter of, "do you win the game or not", it's how gracefully do you play it. How much do you engage yourself in what's truly real and important in life. So, that's the individual question - I don't think it's a finger shaker at other people, it's just what's so. I mean, to me you could run the whole world on environmental issues. Address these environmental issues and you will address every issue known to man. And we keep dabbling in things that aren't really that important in the long term."

Makes me want to squat down, wrench my body into an almost unnatural pretzel position and release a guttural chant purging the pain of listening to it all.

Is this the show that Ted Danson is in?

Does anyone watch it? I know that I sure don't.

[jjm2111]

Maybe CBS could blast no-show political patronage job, limousines, fancy meals, 1st class airfare for all the pols. Maybe, if the pols didn't waste so much money, they could lower taxes AND keep social services.

[Califelephant]

I'll be even more sure not to watch it now.

[Arkinsaw]

I can't imagine why it got cancelled. The script listed above is just hilarious. Social services...hahahahah. Cutbacks.....hahahahah.....thrown in the street.....stop it my sides are splitting.

[avg_freeper]

This sort of hogwash will be blasted all over the TV, radio, and print day and night starting on the sixtieth day before the presidential election. Pathetic peons like all of us have to be enlightened by our progressive masters. Whether we like it or not.

And if you try to present a different opinion, well off to slammer with you, as the supreme court said.

A good deal of what we think of as "America" died today.

[Conservative4Ever]

I never have watched this show, but last week Mr. C4E was sleeping, I was in front of the TV reading a book, with the remote across the room, I must admit I was too lazy to get up to shut the TV off so I half listened. What a stupid show. Then, again most TV shows are stupid. Boy, am I gonna miss Fraiser when it goes off the air.

[N. Theknow]

And all these wonderul writers, actors, producers, directors, etc., do NOT EVER think about tax shelters or hiding income or off shore banking, etc., etc., etc.

[Aquinasfan]

This crap won't be banned 30 days before an election.

[nickcarraway]

I have a great idea! People who watch can Becker can voluntarily pay as much extra in taxes as they want. Then everyone can be happy...

[mrustow]

I tried watching this show twice, for a few minutes each time. It was advertised as being about a cantankerous, bigoted, conservative (I know -- redundancy alert) doctor. But it turned out to be ... politically correct and unfunny (rendundant again, oh my!). The doc just turned out to talk in a cantankerous way, but without any bite, wit, or ... conservatism. (A real, uncensored, intelligent conservative at sea in gay New York would be a promising premise.) And his best friend was apparently a blind, gay, black guy -- no, I'm not making this up! Then they even brought in comedy pro Nancy Travis, to try and save the sinking ship, but no performer can save execreble writing. It was the dead weight writers who needed to be thrown overboard.

[samtheman]

American TV is starting to resemble the political education classes in Mao's China and Stalin's Russia.

[Mr.Atos]

By all means, let them continue to advocate this position at CBS. There are a heck of a lot of people in Portland Counties tonight who will be watching TV while writing out $500 - $1000 checks to their local government for new income tax 'surcharges' who won't feel regret at the Bush tax cuts, but will feel 'stupid' about the local Liberal leadership that they have supoported for years. Perhaps it is a good time to distribute new voter registration cards.

Perhaps we should thank CBS and Danson for the reminder as to who is actually out of touch and truly stupid.

[RckyRaCoCo]

CBS's Becker Sit-Com Blasts "Stupid" People Who Favor Tax Cuts

Shouldn't the Supreme Court ban this type of advertising also?

[Reagan79]

Unfortunately I thought the Republicans and Bush are out spending all of the liberals in history. CBS and Danson should be loving that. We need to cut taxes and cut spending, why does nobody in D.C. ever do that? (Don't answer, it is a rhetorical question)

[martin gibson]

CBS has announced that it won't return next season.

...see what happens when you just DON'T WATCH...?

[Spok]

When Danson speaks without a script in front of him, it's an insult to talking heads everywhere.

[usadave]

That means less money for the state, which means less money for the city, which means we had to cuts services, which means fewer cops, fewer firemen, bad air, bad water, and crappy schools

There would also be less money to hire lazy, fat-cat, six-figure salaried bureaucrats.

[Alex Murphy]

"You discovered a social injustice and as a concerned citizen you have come to your government to demand some action."

Hmmm...I wonder what's wrong with this sentence?

[BigSkyFreeper]

MRC thinks it's bad now, just wait until 30 to 60 days before the election. Leftist comedy shows just reeking with political connotations all over the damn place.

[OrioleFan]

Maybe it would be good when any of these shows take a swipe at conservatives or conservative ideas, that we contact the FEC and demand equal time, and that the equal time allow us to play the clip and provide our response during the commercial time for the show.
