Re: "I believe that their real purpose is to brain wash the younger viewers. Soon they will be voting with liberal ideals implanted by Hollywood. A long term plan to shift the political landscape."

This has been going on since the mid-1060s... Before that most films and TV series stayed away from politics and supported patriotism.

Re: "In my opinion, their plan will work"

It has! When the media found they could lose us a war they didn't like and bring down a President they didn't like... They just poured it on! And will keep on pouring it on...

And the way things look, they will win in the end unless we Conservatives get out and set up films and TV series reflecting our views!

[durasell]

It will never happen. Conservatives have far too much common sense to get involved in show business.

<< More disturbing is their use of little flashlights. Why do they need them outside and why can't they turn on a light switch when entering a darkened room? >>

That's a bit of a daggy question. One that, for years, I've been asking my poor wife in movie theaters and while watching cops and robbers tv:

"Why don't the dumb b*sta*ds just switch on the bloody lights!!!!!!????????"

[TradicalRC]

Tune in, turn on and drop out of TVland. I am not connected to cable OR antennae. All I watch are DVDs and videos. That's all my kids watch and quite frankly even that is limited. I got tired of TV garbage a long time ago. Take my advice and take a Sabbatical from it. Your perspective can only improve.

...and while I'm at it, cops in Vegas must be paid pretty well. They all seem to wear $300 designer sunglasses.

"Anyway, bottom line is that CSI jumped the shark for me tonight, and Marge Helgenberger will NEVER AGAIN be sexy in anything. "

She's a pro-abort. When I saw her on the following list I lost enthusiasm for her too:

The following is the Planned Parenthood list of performers supporting "The March for Women's Lives Celebrity Coalition":

Margie Adam, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Aniston, Curtis Armstrong, Elaine Aronson, Bea Arthur, Ed Asner, Kevin Bacon, Alec Baldwin, William Baldwin, Meredith Baxter, Shari Belafonte, Maria Bello, Polly Bergen, Thora Birch, Amy Brenneman, Betty Buckley, Jessica Capshaw, Lynda Carter, Stockard Channing, Jill Clayburgh, Kate Clinton, Glenn Close, Cindy Crawford, Sheryl Crow, Alan Cumming, Tyne Daly, Blythe Danner, Kristin Davis, Ossie Davis, Dana Delany, Laura Dern, Ellen DeGeneres, Ani DiFranco, Illeana Douglas, Denise Dowse, Fran Drescher, Kirsten Dunst, David Eigenberg, Hector Elizondo, Emme, Eve Ensler, Giancarlo Esposito, Melissa Etheridge, Morgan Fairchild, Edie Falco, Frances Fisher, Calista Flockhart, Jane Fonda, Bonnie Franklin, Janeane Garofalo, Ana Gasteyer, Indigo Girls, Annabeth Gish, Whoopi Goldberg, Lauren Graham, Maggie Gyllenhaal, LisaGay Hamilton, Ben Harper, Ed Harris, Salma Hayek, Marg Helgenberger, Isabella Hofmann, Helen Hunt, Amy Jo Johnson, Kathryn Joosten, Ashley Judd, Catherine Keener, Carole King, Swoosie Kurt, Christine Lahti, Sanaa Lathan, Sharon Lawrence, Lisa Loeb, Amy Madigan, Natalie Maines, Wendie Malick, Joshua Malina, Camryn Manheim, Frances McDormand, Ewan McGregor, Marilyn McIntyre, Sarah McLachlan, Moby, Demi Moore, Julianne Moore, Alanis Morissette, Kathy Najimy, Alyson Palmer, Joe Pantoliano, Mary-Louise Parker, Adrian Pasdar, Pink, Martha Plimpton, Doris Roberts, Paul Rudd, Susan Sarandon, Campbell Scott, Kyra Sedgwick, Martin Sheen, Cybill Shepherd, SONiA, Fisher Stevens, Gloria Steinem, Julia Stiles, Corky and Mike Stoller, Sharon Stone, Amber Tamblyn, Mary Testa, Charlize Theron, Uma Thurman, Heather Tom, Stanley Tucci, Kathleen Turner, Ted Turner, Sarah Weddington, Audrey Wells, Bradley Whitford, Alfre Woodard, Thom Yorke, Amy Ziff, Elizabeth Ziff----Link

BTW, although Martin Sheen is listed above, I think I remember reading that he withdrew his support when he realized that this was an abortion rights protest.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Not surprising from a show that has 95% of all murderers white males. They start off as cocky, in-control types and are reduced to blubbering masses of jelly at the hands of authority by the end of each episode.

Junk. Call the sponsors and boycott their products.

Re: "It will never happen. Conservatives have far too much common sense to get involved in show business."
<P.
That sounds like something some German once upon a time said to another about Joe Gobbles propganda...

[madison10]

Wipe another show off my list... Tuned in just in time to hear the smug Leviticus quote. Morons.

[Whitewasher]

I watch TBN. Little else, save sports.

[Pyro7480]

I can't do that at the moment, since I live in a house with two other people, and we split the cost of the utilities, but I may just do that in the future. Like I said earlier, I don't watch much Tv, and most of what I do watch is educational programming.

[durasell]

Give a conservative $200 million and they'll build a shopping mall, invest in bonds, and possibly some solid stocks, etc.

Give $200 million to a movie guy and he'll hire a guy living in a studio apartment in West Hollywood to write 120 pages, then assemble a group of craftsman, emotionally dicey performers and technicians and spend $210 million producing a very long strip of plastic that can hopefully be cut and pasted into something resembling a story that someone, somewhere will pay money to see.

[no dems]

O.K. It's time for Dr. Dobson to organize a boycott of all advertisers for the CSI series.

[Reagan Man]

I watch CSI. Not a bad show. But I miss the reruns of Gunsmoke on Encore's Western channel. Matt Dillion was great.

[RobbyS]

Like Aristotle's notion. Vegetative, animal, and intellectual.

As a regular viewer who enjoys the show, I have to say I was a bit surprised and irritated. They don't usually get on the soapbox, but, it is November sweeps time, isn't it? And the President has just nominated a man for SCOTUS who may just not want to keep supporting Roe v Wade. They had to do something... It was hugely disappointing.

[Rockingham]

That plot line and the smug, pro-abortion message grated on me as well. Yet I also remember a CSI opening scene that had Grissom concluding that a body had been posed and that its position "was as phony as a Chappaquiddick neck brace."

[blake6900]

Tonight, on CSI: Las Vegas, the main plot line involved a single mother whose apparent suicide was staged.

You mean they actually had an episode that didn't involve deviant sexual behavior? I stopped watching this show after the "porn star and husband murdered in their driveway" program...
