Or even more salacious, the tutor's kid with the other kid. I sometimes think that there is no script and the director just releases everyone on set and says rub up against anyone within an arms length.

ooooooRAAaaa! you are right about StarGate. I am disappointed in the rating of 70s Show. It is realistic. The 70s were as they predict. As for consiquences, it does show the consiquences of drug use.....you get yelled at by Red!....Unprotected sex leads to babies....what more do you want?

Simon's comment was directed at the article's author, not you. (Yeah, I know I typed it, but even now when I reread them I hear it with his snide British accent.)

I call upon the combined brainpower of Stargate fans to help me out.

The reason I never watched Stargate - and yes, those who don't know me think it's a petty reason - is that the name of the show, as listed in my TV Guide, is "Stargate SG1."

Now, I'm led to understand that "SG" stands for "Stargate."

So the show's full name is "Stargate Stargate 1."

My Genetic Redundancy Gene won't allow me to watch a show whose creator perpetrated a grammatical solecism of such magnitude.

That 70's show is not only extremely funny, it features the best TV dad ever - Red Foreman.

Their review of what the show is about strikes me as someone who watched a few minutes here and there but doesn't know what the show is really about.

The grocery store you shop at employs a card carrying member of the ACLU in the produce section, AND one of the stylists at the barber shop you go to is pro-union.

How far do you take the political vetting of people and products?

Will & Grace

I agree. My wife from time to time watches the show (not regularly as a "must see") and I walk out of the room. She is both socially and fiscally conservative, but she is sometimes lazy about putting actions behind her principles ("You overreact, Dukeman."). The producers of the show will tell you unabashedly that they're trying to mainstream the gay lifestyle. No thanks!

I agree on Everybody Loves Raymond, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and (wait for it) ... yes, American Idol. It's the one and only show that my wife and I and the kids make it a point to watch together. The kids (10 and 7) each week can't wait to see if their favorite got bounced or not. It really proved to be a fun family event this past year.

On the other side of the coin, Two and a Half Men is the only one of those shows that I watch/enjoy. It's very witty IMO and Charlies Sheen is great in it.

the only show i make it point to watch is "What Not to Wear" on TLC (Friday nights)... however, my children and my husband don't watch... so i guess it's not considered family viewing...

My only problem with the PTC is that they don't seem able to differentiate between mocking immorality and promoting it. I first started hearing of them in the 1980s, when they were flipping out over Fox, but giving a pass to shows such as "the Golden Girls." (Typical GG conversation: "Blanche: Dorothy, Rose and I know how tough it is for you to accept the lifestyle your son has chosen, but if you really love him you'll accept him, and help him. Now here's a pamphlet by those wonderful people at NAMBLA all about this.")

Their attitude has tended in the past to be: "We don't care what sort of depravities you promote, just don't *show* them to us." TV nowadays is just so crazy, that I can't really refute their list. The fact that they included "everybody loves raymond" shows they've gotten a bit of a sense of humor, but "That 70's Show" is hardly the worst stuff on.

Only one of these shows I've ever seen more than one episode of is "Las Vegas", and I think it's great. Other favorites:

"The Simpsons"

"The King of Queens"

WWE

Billy Ray on hand

Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, who's "We the People" was Bush's official campaign song in 2000, was on hand to help the president kick off this year's campaign.

The "Achy, Breaky Heart" singer said having a presidential candidate use your song in his campaign was pretty heady business for a boy from Flatwoods, Ky. "But, I'll tell you, I was already going to vote for George W. Bush."

Cyrus, undoubtedly will play a role in this year's campaign. But he may cause supporters at future rallies to do a double-take. His signature "mullet" haircut is gone.

I don't care about Amber Tamblyn's politics. "Touched By An Angel" was sacchryne dreck, but Joan of Arcadia is actually *gasp* spiritual. If Amber's a lefty, it doesn't come through the show.

Billy Ray Cyrus? In't he the "country" singer?

Now, name me a single TV show that doesn't star nearly all commies.

8 simple rules should be way up there. It always has a pure message and some of the funniest situations ever. I love eveyone of the actors.

I loved "The X Files." It was the icing on the weekend cake.
