Having watched approximately a trillion TV shows in my life, please, no more:
Lions eating zebras
Insects of the Amazon
Crocodiles eating anything
Black holes
Guys logging trees
Guys wasting their lives playing gold miner in Alaska
Guys fishing for crab
Guys fishing for swordfish
Guys who train dogs
Guys who pretend to survive in the wilderness with their film crew and make-up artist
Wolves eating buffalos
Wolves eating elk
Wolves eating other wolves. Enough. I get it. They're hungry!
NCIS LA, NCIS Terre Haute, NCIS Mars...you get the picture.
Any of the 3 billion Law and Order programs still out their in reruns
Any program appearing on MSNBC ever!
Sharks eating anything and anyone
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Charmed (Man does that show blow!)
College Lacross
High school anything
Dharma and Gregg
The New Adventures of some hag called old Christine
Guys restoring another junker
Guys pawning junk
Homo Dougie Hauser playing a hetero love stud
Ok, I've got a million more they should never allow on TV again, but I'm sure you've either fallen asleep reading this or are currently screaming at your monitor...NO MORE VANITIES! I'm done ranting. Feel free to add any others you particularly can't stand to watch.
Corner gas was good.
I wanted to be Lacy’s man.
Leave Dharma and Greg alone. At least it included conservatives, and it treated them decently. I’ll never forget how one conservative gal on the show tried to pronounce Dharma’s name: duh-harr-muh.
Dysfunctional family building choppers.
“The Good Wife” is very good, well-written and paced with a good plot.
“Chicago Code” shows some potential.
And check out “MI-5”, an excellent British spy series. It’s being shown here on Saturday nites on (surprisingly) PBS.
All this stuff you can also get on DVD or Netflix, I think. There is a ton of crap out there, but also some good stuff.
Speaking of old western series.
I could never understand why the coward carried that broken sword around all the time. If it were me, I’d chuck it in the nearest river so the locals wouldn’t try to run me out of town all the time.
People on a five-year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out....
Wait, that one is still OK
Would you watch a TV show of Tea Partiers eating Rinos?
But its so flat there!
There used to be mountains over there juttin up all majestic.
The shows you listed are the only alternatives one has to pure, unadulterated filth and obscenity. With nothing else to break up reading and work, I endure them. They beat watching ditzy hens cackling about nothing too.
If I ever find myself watchng “The View” I’ll know it’s time to cash it in.
My wife and I find some escape at Turner Classic Movies.
I have Direct TV and the Rifleman comes on every afternoon along with Daniel Boone and Green Acres. It is WHT....World Harvest Television. I have to admit to occasionally watching Green Acres. OK, so it’s not deep and thought provoking but with the complexities of life today it is refreshingly simple.
“My wife and I find some escape at Turner Classic Movies.”
Yes, I like those too! I think we’re fast approaching the time when movies with real scenery and panoramic views will be a thing of the past. It’s increasingly common that everything in the background of the newer movies is computer generated and has nothing to do with reality. In comparison, even the old movies are striking in their color and vibrancy.
Vampire anything
I was thinking to myself just yesterday that I’m crazy as all get out for paying good money for the crap on tv these days.
I have to agree with you.
Oddly enough, I find it therapeutic.
They could stop with the water works too. The other night my wife and I were flipping through the channels and on virtually every channel someone was crying about something. Good God, dry it up already.
I like Fox.
Whenever I get sick I clean up before I go to bed because I always think, “this is where they’ll find the body.”
Why not just unplug the TV?
