Did anyone catch the "ER" episode tonight? It was a direct affront to pro-lifers and Catholics. Luka pushed the whole "personally opposed" agenda. Parental notification was also attacked as the young, pregnant girl was, with Luka's help, able to lie and circumvent the authority of her parents.
NBC will here from this Pro Life Catholic.
I watched "My Name is Earl" last night for the first time. While some of it was humorous, the rest was too crass and shocking just for the sake of being shocking. Don't think I'll watch it again.
I finally got to see "The Office" and thought it had its moments, but not really my kind of show.
And I got to see 4 or 5 commercials for the Book of Daniel that completely insulted me. The descriptions of that show that have been posted on FR don't go far enough in describing how much the entertainment industry dislikes the Christian community.
Shame on NBC.
This is why God invented the VCR, DVD and the 'off' switch. We only watch network TV for football and, rarely, TV news (if something really major happens).
Go for it.
You'd be better off watching EWTN in primetime. Their primetime programming is excellent and enjoyable.
It made my stomach turn. I know a guy who's daughter was raped. She choose to keep the baby and give it up for adoption. It was hard for her to overcome the rape, but she has never had a regret about the child. She will tell you to this day she did what she felt was right. A wonderful example of what was meant for evil being worked for good. A couple who couldn't have children now has a child.
Thank you for sharing that story. I have read that rape victims that keep their baby are emotionally more stable years later than those that have abortions. I can't back this up with a source. Just something I remember reading at one time. Something about instead of two traumas to get over there is only one. A baby is never a bad thing. (Don't ask me to say this at 3 in the morning while nursing! LOL!)
I used to watch that show faithfully, but quit a number of years ago. I get tired of them having agendas anyway.

I agree. One episode of CSI had a very direct anti abortion slant and I think that E Ring show is awful (altho I know alot of people think I'm wrong).

Very little of it. Got sick of the mid-eastern lady doc trying to talk the family of the pregnant girl into an abortion. That was enough for me to turn off the TV.
CSI, first Miami and more recently Las Vegas, has also "jumped the shark" giving into the pressure to have more skin, more violence and less science or plot... plus the gratuitous statements about abortion. Nick seems to be the only one with even the hint of traditional values and he's usually the big oaf, football watching rube. His character isn't going anywhere. I do have hope for Warick though. Blacks are allowed by the racists in Hollywood to be spiritual.
Me, too! ER was the last network show I watched. Stopped when Sherry Stringfield left the first time. Just got too depressing, political and left-wing.
opps, there is a word, "banjoist" but I think it only applies to people who play a banjo in a concert setting with an orchestra. My son has played the banjo part in Porgie and Bess in the university orchestra. LOL, he wore a tux and dark felt houseshoes because he couldn't find any dress shoes.
It's especially ironic considering as Luka is from Croatia in the story as I recall.

It wasn't just the evil Christian helping ministry that was a front for pedophile activity, it wasn't the multiple attacks on gun ownership (they got a court to accept that "gun violence" was a disease), it was the episode's endorsement of murder--the female lead said she would be proud to adopt the killer as a son--because the killer had been "traumatized by gun violence". I couldn't believe it.
That's why I stopped watching most shows several years ago. Unfortunately I've picked up the habit again with Monk, Dead Zone (sometimes rather PC too) and Lost. I get tired of them insulting me because of who I am, and the hypocracy of it, since they would call anyone who painted almost any other group with that sort of brush a bigot.

Let me guess. A helicopter fell on a pregnant woman.
We've been watching re-runs of "Everybody Loves Raymond" lately. Other than that, there isn't much on except "Food Network", "HGTV", and "Fine Living".
You know that is interesting because the new season of CSI came out a few weeks ago and normally I would run to get it an have not. I have looked at it and just said naw later. I agree with you on this. CSI New York I never got into. I still enjoy that Veronica Mars show. How much longer...who know?
Actually, we watch Raymond back to back every dat from 7pm to 8pm. My sons (who were home for Christmas) think we are weird....but I think it's the funniest thing on TV.

I rarely watch network tv anymore. The networks pander to their leftist writers and the whole pro-death culture.
