I just cut my satellit plan from $70 to $15/month due to nothing being on TV anyway and half the channels were trying to sell me jewelry or get rich on real estate deals.
cut my satellite the day the 2d wife moved out. don’t miss it at all, i get alot more accomplished around the house for not sitting around watching tv all the time.
the couple shows i watch, i just watch online later.
And so many channels are pushing liberalism and obscenity.
Comedy Central is the poster boy for that. Shows such as Chelsea Lately have a strong sexual theme, and she uses her show to push homosexual marriage.
And all of those stand-up comic shows on Comedy Central have half of the routine bleeped out, because the “comedians” are using obscene language which can’t be heard on basic cable channels.
Then, you can watch the liberal news on Jon Stewart’s program. And even he gets bleeped out sometimes. I am amazed that liberals have trouble expressing themselves wihout using obscene language.
People like to make fun of past standards, such as NBC being concerned about Barbara Eden’s belly button on “I Dream of Jeannie”. But, are we really better off today, when anything goes?
Heck, if they made “I Dream of Jeannie” today, nothing would be left to the imagination. The master would be commanding Jeannie to do all sorts of things I can’t write about here, and it would be okay on prime time TV today.
Heck, can you imagine all of the innuendo if they had a show like “Gilligan’s Island” today? Can you imagine all the titilation they would provide by showing different roommate pairings???
But on Gilligan’s Island, I wonder who the obligatory gay character would be?????????
TV is a wasteland. The few channels that are not a freak show or do not celebrate the dregs of American society (those few might be the Weather Channel, History Channel, etc...) I can get the same or better info from a book or online.
