Yeah...I hear you. I’m just a decade or two ahead. For me it’s the Rockford Files, Magnum PI, Simon & Simon, Quantum Leap, Buck Rogers, etc.

Sorry to say I used to like Family Guy during its first 3 seasons (i.e. the ones prior to its cancellation). I’m part of the reason why it came back on TV as I bought those DVDs when they were released. Please understand it wasn’t as politically charged back then.

Once it made its comeback, it went into “how low can we go” mode. When you design “comedy” to completely piss off an entire group of people, you’re merely being an attention whore. Those are a dime a dozen.

Personally, I’ll never know if Terri ever felt a thing. I am in no way, shape or form a doctor capable of making such determinations. What I do know is that humans have very little understanding of the brain. Doctors freely admit this. I hear of many “permanent vegetative state” victims snap out of their coma and begin functioning again.

The decision to yank the plug on that woman was absurd as she had a family WILLING to take care of her for as long as it would take. I hope that Terri’s situation will serve as an example for the doctors of 100 years from now on how primitive and stupid we were to do such things.

Well I for one, wouldn’t wonder one bit. Pretty much all I watch is retro TV, some sports and EWTN.

Don’t miss the superlative Andy Griffith Show, McHale’s Navy and Dick Van Dyke Show though. Not to mention most of the great Hanna Barbara output if you like ‘toons.
