Hey, thread hijacker!!! How was it? Didn't the volume make your chest rumble? I loooooove that place. Absolutely one of my top five things to do in the whole world!
No kidding. We have all but stopped watching television. 95 percent of it is offensive, moronic garbage. The movies of the past decade are no better.
Thank god for the internet and radio.
It rocked.
I screamed and yelled so loud and so often, I was sure I wouldn't be able to talk for a week.
I cannot remember ever having so much fun.
One of my favorite moments was just before the national anthem, the announcer asked for a moment of silence for Jerrel Wilson and Hank Stram. Arrowhead was dead silent for about 60 seconds; then, some guy yelled "JETS SUCK" and the whole stadium could hear it. Everyone cracked up and the moment of silence was over.
If I lived closer, I would go to every game.
Red Skelton always said,"If you gotta be nasty to be funny, you ain't funny."
I would venture to say that if shows as good as Soprano's were profanity free people would enjoy it just as well. People are associating cussing with good tv because many of the better shows on TV with cussing are usually better. Soprano's, Entourage, Arrested Development and South Park all come to mind in this department.
You're right.
Yea that's it, POOP is the P word.
I always lose my voice after those games.
Soprano should say,"Golly Gee Whiz, you female parent abuser, insert it directly into your anus.
I stopped when we moved, Oct. 2000.
No TV in the house now. Even before then, didn't watch much.
One time, we were a Nielsen family - got the little booklet where you fill out when and what channel the TV is on.
We watched one half hour show that week ("Waiting for God" - a PBS British Comedy).
I'll wager the Nielsen company threw our book away as not believable.
I like Rome, the new HBO series. It is like the most sexually charged programming I've ever seen in my life, and it includes pornography, but it's not ABOUT pornography. It's more like what people talk about in real life. Raw, mind in the gutter type stuff. But set in the year 50 b.c. or so.
Pompeii is played as a buffoon though, maybe he was. Caesar is played as a bit of a fop as well. I don't think HE was.
I'm not sure what that means.
We have adopted "family reading" time before my son's bedtime. We read "Chronicles of Narnia" this summer - probably three months worth (not every night in summer).
Unfortunantly I can cuss a blue streak, even when it is uncalled for, and each time, after I do, I feel very ashamed of myself.
LOL. I hear you on the blue streak and ditto.
Just something about having to sit through it non-stop in a TV show turns me off.
Thank goodness for Food Network and the Travel Channel. :-)
I do love Sopranos, though.
God must have finally showed up; last time I went to watch it, it was gone.
Very popular. I have a very hard time arranging my schedule to catch it.
Good Lord, man, they show reruns all the time!
LOL, you are assuming I WANT to catch it. :-)
You owe me a keyboard, BTW.
