Have never watched this show, but now I definately have to catch it to see what all the hoop-la is about!
That's exactly what this show does. So how do you justify your point?
Better for a fool to keep his/her mouth shut, than to open it, and remove all doubt.
Pardon me, but your glass house is see through!
Thanks for the laugh this morning. Would you freepmail me the garlic mashed potatoes recipe?
So....Yum! has no moral qualms with exploiting the desperate plight of migrant farmworkers (Taco Bell) but they refuse to be associated with a risque television show?
Moral proportionality at its finest... /sarcasm
Ah, I love these South Park Republicans vs. Church Lady Republican threads...
FWIW, I'm with the "don't like it, don't watch it" Republicans. My husband watches it but it's a bit convoluted for my taste. I prefer Boston Legal and Reno 911.
Amen to that.
Don't worry about Askel5. She's a well-known troublemaker who spends lots of time at LibertyPost complaining about how stupid FReepers are. A more self-righteous (and actually, amusing) poster you'll never see.
I am glad you like the recipe.
I got so many requests that it is permenently on my profile page.
The other request I get is for my 'To Die For' Chocolate Chip cookies. Maybe I should put a link up for that one as well.
I don't put myself in either of those categories, but like the characterization. lol!
I am all for people voting with their wallets. I think it's an awesome power, and I am glad to have & use it.
I do, however, feel that it should be used by those who know what the heck it is they are protesting, and if a consistent standard were used, we would never have daytime soap operas, or Saabado Gigante on UNIVISION for that matter, becuase there is less risque material on DH than a whole bunch of other shows.
I would bet that 90% of those on the bashing side have yet to see the show and are merely following the blind leader of the flock.
You mean like the Bible? :)
Honestly haven't seen the show, but a friend of mine described it as a soft core porn show trying to have a plot.
Good for Yum! brands.
Yes it is. I enjoy the way the obnoxious lawyer, Alen Shore, goes right for the legal bottom line and ends up (most of the time) on the moral high ground. For better or worse, I identify with this character.
No one is "depriving folks of giving".....you can send a check to the Salvation Army in your area....it's really EASY, and a better way to give to a non-profit, anyway.
Isn't Boston Legal a spinoff from another show? I definitely recall seeing William Shatner playing a slightly wacked-out attorney on another show, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the show itself.
That has to be the best character David E. Kelly has come up with yet. The actor is marvelous in the part as well. The show is so inventive. I dread the day that it devolves into the preachiness that Kelly usually starts when his creativity runs out. The Practice got downright nauseating the year before it died (though it was definitely revived in the last season when they introduced Alan Shore and Denny Crane.
The Practice.
Ditto!
but a friend of mine described it as a soft core porn show trying to have a plot.
for this very reason. In fact, I hardly watch any TV anymore. The other day, I sat down to watch a movie and was stunned by some of the commercial advertisements. Talk about soft core porn!
OK...I'm so behind. What does "OC" mean?
