Wow, TV has gotten worse.... WAY worse.

I never watch TV... a few hours in the last few years. I just watched part of the Fat Show on NBC where the contestants are trying to lose the most weight. What ever happened to MASH and Married with Children? Weird.



I do believe the quality of TV shows started going downhill with the Married With Children show... :D:D:D

House is EXCELLENT!! (on right now)

But, I'm quite annoyed that they took Scrubs off (peasants)

k.



Scrubs' new season starts later than the rest of TV.


I think the best TV shows that are still being made, in no particular order are:

Scrubs
House
Nip/Tuck
24
Rescue Me
Prison Break
Grey's Anatomy
CSI

The OC is my guilty pleasure.

Now, it's like the Springsteen song; '57 - Channels... Ain't Nothin' On!':S[:/] What's 'real' about reality shows? Reality is not scripted!:S

You know what? I have been watching some of the All In The Family reruns and am amazed at the amount of racist or bigoted language spoken by Archie. I don't know if that was the norm back then and probably think it's a lot more politically incorrect these days. I'm sure if a new show started with the same type of language, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be all over it screaming "RACIST!" :S All the same, Archie was extremely funny at times.

alot of reasons

A Even the shows that are geared towards children today and even commericals on childrens networks in my opinion are not what I feel are in my childrens best interests to watch.

B. The cost of cable is to high, its approx 80 dollars here for avg cable. I can buy my children movies like the wiggles or veggie tales for approx 7 bucks a piece and it is used as a reward system in my home. Not to mention for 14 bucks we can belong to netflixs and I can rent the seasons of shows I prefer

C. Even with doing the above I still have cut our viewing entertainment costs to less then 40 bucks a month.

just to name a few

Thats why it is that expensive cause I live in a town that doesnt even have a mcdonalds.... granted i could get 14 stations for 35 bucks but heck that has nothing but Fox and although I used to love fox I cant allow my children to watch that yet. They get enough education at the DZ cant over expose them to raunch

Edit to add... Animal planet , partial CNN and a few other major stations are avaliable for free online, as well as the animal web cams for the atlanta zoo and the national zoo.

Maybe you're just teaseing.... that's not nice. (there's no lii pout face icon)

Because it's not a Fox show, would be the reason that comes to mind.

I hear ya (pun unintended) :D

Does your TV have a parental channel lock-out? Most newer TV's do. You could just lock out the channels you don't want your kids flipping the remote to... but I figure you already thought of it in addition to all the other child-proofing methods, that I need to learn in the coming months... :P
