The New Normal was supposed to be a great blockbuster comedy series that would reform TV.
It lasted one season, IIRC.
The renewed Will & Grace seemed to be pulling in relatively low ratings, considering all of the whoopla about its resurrection.
I watched my last episode of 911. Another show designed to jam deviant behaviour down our throats. One couple is highlighted where the wife is a cop and her husband is hsving an affair with his boyfriend, and their marriage is on the rocks because of it. Another couple is a lesbian firefighter that is cheating on her wife with another lesbian that wants custody of their child. None of it is considered wrong, but just highlighting how normal it is for them to have problems like real married couples. They started with a few decent episodes but have evolved into the ususl hollywood dirt. Another show that I will not watch...
I’m convinced Last Man Standing was cancelled because they refused to turn it into a homo-promo.
MASH has been run to death on ME-TV.
As much as I like the show, something different in that slot would be great.
Antenna TV has a good lineup.
Didn’t you hear the news. Planned Parenthood claims “Men have a uterus”. You know they should know!
Good. I am tired of women telling me how painful it is to have a baby. I rather enjoyed it.
I used to get Antenna TV before relocating to another part of the country. Now all I can get so far as nostalgia channels goes is MeTV. Not dissing that network, but Antenna TV did have some good programming. I especially miss the reruns of Barney Miller.
Barney Miller was classic stuff.
I have the boxed set of DVDs and went through them for my lunch break entertainment last year.
Here's the one where Wojo (unwittingly) brings hash-laced brownies into the office. Hilarity ensues!
Yes they do
A favorite of mine is the one where Dietrich beats the lie detector with outlandish answers.
Some of the stuff on Netflix is better than that.
Does the dead black gay husband come back as a ‘72 Caprice with 22’s, offering sage advice and life instruction whenever they take it out for a spin? Let me guess, the “widow” makes peace with the white cop who killed his “husband,” they fall in love, white cop has a sex change and they live happily ever after, once they adopt a bunch of black male children. Hijinx galore, like the Brady Bunch but their midcentury modern ranch is not at all like that tacky 70’s split level.
I have been watching the channels I get over the air free and there are some good ones that have great shows on:
(a) Laff Channel rerunning old sitcoms
(b) Grit: rerunning old westerns like Laramie and Wagon Train
(c) COZI channel running all kind of good shows
(d) ME TV running old classic TV shows
(e) ION Channel running shows like Law & Order, Blue Bloods, and Law & Order SUV
(f) YouTube for all manner of great shows and movies on my ROKU
You get the drift, lots of alternatives to the Networks and the crap they now run.
Modern Family is an example on Network TV, I can’t figure out how it has stayed on so long. I refuse to watch it.
I agree on MASH, personally I would only run the first three seasons when it was really a great show.
They could start rerunning Car 54 in that time slot and I would watch it.
The pilot might work if the white man and the black husband are both women and Chinese. Changstien. Pepe Changstien. She is a cook. She can pantomime. And read. She or he is a mailman. You can ask him or her where the Chinese restaurant is. That’s an episode right there!
I’d like Cannon, Barnaby Jones, Quincy, Remington Steele, or Kojak.
