E.R. is pure dreck. I used to like the show, but the liberal preaching became too much to bear. What time they aren't promoting homosexuality and abortion, they are promoting more of the liberal dogma. I remember episodes in which one character, after having been attacked and beaten to a pulp, buys a gun. He is later confronted by some thugs and brandishes the weapon on them. After the punks run away, he throws away the gun, as if buying it was the most horrible sin imaginable. Also, if a white character is accused of racism, it isn't presented as the possibility that the accuser might be wrong. At first, the accused denies it, then, after some soul-searching, finally admits, that maybe he does have racist tendencies. Now, I hardly watch anything other than FNC.

My "relationship" with the show ER ended one night several years ago when they had an expectant mother die from a blotched C-section. I couldn't stomach it anymore. Life is full of enough tragedy, why seek more? After all, isn't following the agenda of the Democrats in the Senate enough of an emotional roller-coaster?

Paul for me all the TV shows have become pure dreck, I cannot believe the advertisers are not demanding a better vehicle to deliver there product to the pop corn eating public. As for ER, watched half of the first show and turned it off, as you said its dreck.

I remember that one very well, too. I started yelling at the TV, "You've gotta be kidding me! That gun probably just saved your life! Or at least kept you from being beaten to a bloody pulp AGAIN!"

That show has had several anti-gun messages thrown in throughout. Unless you count the gun-toting lesbian doctor that was on the show briefly...

Primetime television shall be the method which the RATS will use to get around campaign finance laws.
