“Little House on the Prairie” at has been a hit with my young kids. Unfortunatley, we’ve seen all the episodes.
I just get the feeling cbs is trying to say “this is how people are these days”. I just dont trust em.
MIKE and MOLLY is the same way (also cbs) lots of sexual overtones ans situations, even a sister that smokes pot living in the same house with a cop. Since its set in chicago its probably not far from acurate. just sayin...
It’s not the garbage that puts me off, it’s the commercials. Go back and have a look at some old sitcoms like “All in the Family”. They ran 26 minutes for a half hour show. That’s 8 30 second spots in a half hour. Those days are gone forever. Now the show and commercials nearly split the time evenly.
We have given up on Professional sports also. About the only sports we watch is on the Big 10 network or ESPN if the Big 10 teams are playing
Thanks...
Neither is Mrs Wbill, and she's the one who hooked me on it. Of course, I think that she enjoys it because she relates all of their hijinks to me. :-)
I work with a lady who could give lessons in "OCD" to Sheldon. She was discussing her recent purchase of a couch...it took her SIX MONTHS to find "exactly the right one".
Thinking of Sheldon, I asked her if she had "Her Spot" on it. She gave me the strangest look, and said "Of course, and so do each of my cats."
When everyone in the room broke up laughing, someone explained "Sheldon's Spot" to her...she wasn't familiar with Big Bang. Sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction.
This brings to mind a larger problem; the disappearance the sane, confident, self-assured father figure.
When was the last time you saw one? Not an emasculated unstable nut (the guy on that “Modern Family” show on now), an overweight slapstick buffoon (”King of Queens”), or an outsmarted-by-the-wife manic (”Everybody Loves Raymond”), but just a normal Dad-figure? Where it was ok to portray husband and wife as normal and on equal footing with their kids.
I’m racking my brain here, but has there been one since Cliff Huxtable?
I totally agree with what you said
“The great thing about DD is all these guys are funny, just in different ways. IMHO The best part of the show is the blessing at the end of each episode”
“But they do have time to be addicted to Free Republic.”
Humpfh!
Now ya done quit preaching an’ gone t’ MEDDLIN’!
Clarkson is a man’s man and not ‘politically correct’. It’s probably the ONLY show on TV that’s geared to men but I’m sure feminists will see to it that it becomes emasculated and therefore RUINED just like EVERY OTHER SHOW ON TELEVISION. It’s okay to have shows geared to females like ‘The View’, etc.., but shows geared to men? Ohhhhh noooooo can’t have THAT! NOT ALLOWED.
I’m not sure what NCIS this person is watching, but it is one of my favorite shows and I have totally missed the sexual perversions and hook ups. Criminal Minds on the other hand is based on the perversion stuff to the point I stopped watching it years ago, and I’m no prude.
God bless texas!
God bless Texas!
I saw that one...funny part is that fans of the show voted that episode as one of the worst of the entire 200-episode run...
PC fail.
The crudest moments in "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation" don't come anywhere near "Game of Thrones", yet the former offend you while the latter doesn't?
Ive read Clarkson’s info on wiki, it sounds like a lot of stuff he says and does is designed to shock and to get a reaction, like these gems:
In October 1998, Hyundai complained to the BBC about what they described as “bigoted and racist” comments he made at the Birmingham Motor Show, where he was reported as saying that the people working on the Hyundai stand had “eaten a dog” and that the designer of the Hyundai XG had probably eaten a spaniel for his lunch.
On 30 November 2011 while being interviewed on the BBC’s The One Show, Clarkson commented on the UK’s public sector strike that day, lauding the capital’s empty roads. After mentioning the BBC’s need for balance, he said, “I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families.”
Pretty funny stuff.
My Daughter gave me Smallville on DVD through season 7. That is about when it was getting unwatchable not because of PC but it just had run it’s course.
The first few seasons were pretty good. I just had to ignore the nonsense which they probably had to put in to be allowed on the network.
When she doesn't jump her lines, she delivers them in a flat monotone. Gawd is she awful. Just my $0.02.
Agreed. I tried to watch a couple of episodes, thinking it had to get better, but it really didn't. I sort of liked her character as "the daughter" in "The 40 Year Old Virgin." She was funny in that. But I have to agree, "Two Broke Girls" would have to improve to rank as "garbage." Talk about short skirts! Not that I'm complaining about that...

You and I are similar...I haven’t watched network television since probably around 1996 or so. I got so fed up with the rampant liberalism, I couldn’t watch it without provoking dirty looks from my wife who wasn’t seeing things the same way. We had a talk about it, and I solved it by just not watching anymore. I DO watch NFL football, but the political correctness and pussification of it is wearing me thin there, too.
We have never had cable, ever.
But I have enjoyed Netflix, watching things like “The Walking Dead”, “Boardwalk Empire” and currently, the first season of “Downton Abbey”.
I never in a million years thought I would ever watch any kind of zombie stuff, but I did enjoy “The Walking Dead”.
