K liked Training Day. But Paxton’s untimely passing made its furpture nil.

The last time I watched something other than cable news, HGTV, the old movie channel, Netflix or a movie was several years ago. It was late at night, I was stranded in NYC after missing my flight. I watched Burn Notice in my hotel room. Pretty good.

As for the dinosaur networks, I honestly can’t recall the last time I watched one of those. Or why.

Can you imagine the uproar if TV classics such as All In The Family, Hogan's Heroes, MASH, or WKRP were on the air today? With them, we laughed at stereotypes. Today's comedies instead try to educate people with politically and socially correct garbage.

Then there's the violence orgies, including the 8PM hour (remember family hour?) A crime show should primarily be about solving the crime, not glorifying its gory details.

Bull is watchable (did it survive?) Except for that I'd rather watch old shows, Great Courses, or spend more time reading. I don't think I'm alone. Lots of people prefer movies and TV that aren't telling them how to think, and they want to know something about human nature from the experience of watching it. For comedy, we just want to laugh without being judged!

Why would I want to watch a LBGT show, and that is about all they have on now. Even Super Girl now has a lesbo partnership.

What little TV we watch comes off RFDTV, at least it’s ‘clean’.
