I don't watch much in the way of tv-watched one episode of The Sopranos, and swore I'd NEVER view it again. Nothing but "F" every other word-not a virgin here, but my old rule of thumb was always, the more swearing in something, the weaker the script. More 'godfather' crap-why should I care about a bunch of vile scum that live to double-cross and kill each other? Garbage. Watch Animal Planet, Discovery, Lou Dobbs, other than that, pretty much movies -the older, the better, as a rule, and occasionally a talk program. Hard for me to believe I used to watch for hours a day back from the time I was a kid until about the early eighties.
I'm there with both of you. The garabage on tv today just doesn't warrant being tuned into. I like a lot of the old B horror flicks, and I do like a lot of sci-fi. But as for this ghetto-mode stuff, I will not turn it on. I cannot tolerate mtv, of E!, or those crap shows on vh1.
But, I would not want aunt nanny being my advocate, either, and if someone likes that stuff, more power to 'em. I don't think more restrictions will solve the problem. I can't stand a lot of this music today, either. But the P.M.R.C. really cranks me off. We don't need a P.M.R.C. for tv, too.
