Zooey is definitely not guilty.

Ditto! I limit my TV watching to old movies, concerts, football.
The shows that I allow my family to watch is more “Americana” by definition. I love “Swamp People”, and some of the other shows about auctions etc... My daughter wanted to watch “Glee” since many of her friends watch it. I watched it with her for about ten minutes and said, “no”. (actually, what I said was a little more severe).
Mine is down to football only and even that is waning
I am really enjoying Upstairs, Downstairs. I started with the 2010 series, should have started with the earlier one.Right now, it is on the Blackshirts, the fascist movement.
Besides HGTV and Animal Planet (occassionally AP is not as good as it used to be) and Fox occassionally, that is all
TTIUWOP
Fun time is going through a list of new shows and trying to predict which ones will get cancelled and when.
Numerous shows get pulled after just a few episodes. Some are so bad or get so low an audience that they get pulled after 2-3 episodes.
Networks have been reducing the number of episodes for new series, so they won’t have so much invested in the failures. They get an initial order for 4-8 episodes with a contingency for more, such the series gather an audience.
It is difficult to predict which new series will be successful and which will fall flat.
Zooey is definitely not guilty.
network TV is the ghetto of entertainment.
how much longer before the networks start going the way of newspapers?
>>> New Fall TV Lineup Heavy on Sex
Then the shows will quickly fail. Nobody wants to watch heavy people having sex. Problem solved.
Sorry, but Zooey's (what a stupid name, anyway) eyes look like those on one of the kids out of "Village Of The Damned."
Modern TV nauseates me. It’s become such a sewer that it is no longer worth the effort to wade through the putrid mess to find anything worthwhile. I gave up on all of it entirely, opting instead for dvd-sets of older, more classic shows.
The thing about Glee is that it started out ok. I’m not a musical kind of guy, but I keep an eye on what my kids watch. The first few episodes were decent enough; singing, dancing, silly jokes. But then it went downhill and into the gutter of sexual innuendo and garbage, is now unacceptable - seems to be pushing the gay thing way too much, as well as giving the false images and unreal expectations as twenty-five year old actors attempt to portray high school kids. No wonder teen girls hate the way they look, and this is just one example. I’m thinking the producers plan this out from day one.
Troy is definitely my favorite. My son likes Willy (he finds him comical). For whatever reason, my daughters like “lizabet”. I actually learn a lot from Pawn Stars... especially when they get an antique of some sorts. Parents should sit with their kids and watch the programs that they are watching. I don’t know how many parents will simply “assume” that a program is okay if it is about a high school glee club or some young people?! Some of the shows designed for middle schoolers and high schoolers will curl your hair with the subject content.
Zooey's eyes look like she just came back from her 4:20 break...
She have any sisters?
“I’m thinking the producers plan this out from day one”.
I agree. I probably watched an episode later on in the season. It was about one of the glee members having a homosexual crush. A lot of the shows now really push the homosexual agenda. I remember when I was a kid... my parents wouldn’t let me watch “Dallas”. They felt the subject material was too adult and many of my friends were allowed to watch it. By comparison to today’s standards... it was tame and mellow. Times have definitely changed!
One commercial I saw showed her dressed in a short French maid outfit at the ironing board when her boyfriend came home and she asked seductively if he needed anything else done, so he got her some more clothes to iron. Just what I need to see, another "smart woman, clueless man" show.
Football, the Food Channel (Alton Brown is an icon), History Channel, and ‘Castle’ when it’s on. Don’t even watch Fox News anymore ... their treachery was finally revealed.
