maybe the strikes could be permanent
who would miss em
All the people who work on the shows. Despite appearances, movies and TV are largely blue collar middleclass industries.
Numb3rs lol.
I thought it was a horrible attempt to jump on the CSI bandwagon, with all the other follow-on wannabes.
A bunch of University eggheads crunching mathematical calculations to solve a serial murderer case.
The concept and story-lines feel so contrived to me.
Glad you like it. We all have our favorites I guess.
I don't know what you're talking about. I rarely watch tv except for old movies. I used to watch the news, but can't even stomach Fox News anymore.
LOL!
What is wrong with CSI? That is one of the few good shows on TV!! That and Law & Order! If it were not for those two shows, I would have nothing to watch!
Why did you make a statement, ask a question, and then answer your question?
What’s a TV?
Civilization would be so much better off if these writers stay on strike permanently. What crap they turn out and moronic followers mimic!
Personally, I couldn't really care less. They could go on strike forever. I do think Two and a Half Men is pretty witty, though.
Something which both amuses and irritates me is how they are always making fun of shows like “Leave it to Beaver” or “Father Knows Best” as being so unrealistic.
Has anyone ever actually thought about the typical modern family sitcoms where all the kids are wisecracking cretins and Fathers are all idiots, while Mothers are incredibly strong and understanding.
“Leave it to Beaver” was far, far, closer to my actual family than anything out within the last 20 years.
The majority of jokes about Leave it to Beaver have very little to do with the content.
It seems to me if the networks play re-runs, the most likely result will be that their rating will go up.
Another prediction: with the strike, there will be a lot of new, poorly written attack ads on Republicans.
Actually I wasn’t referring to all the “Beaver” jokes. BTW, June really did say to Ward, “You were a little hard on the beaver last night”. I always thought that was just a joke but I did see it in one episode.
What I mean is all the common bias which is portrayed constantly, about how incredibly unrealistic those old 1950’s sitcoms were, (and the subtle insinuation that they were actually evil) when the exact opposite is true.
Of course the modern ones with every sort of depravity are considered true to life. In a way they are right in that so many kids see these shows and assume that is proper behavior that they immitate it. In other words life is immitating art.
Eww. Nice take. I like it.
They are worried about scripts?
I thought they just recycled everything from 10 years ago.
Didja see the Cowboys beat the Eaglets? Someone wrote that little candle ploy.
I predict that NBC will be knocked off the air - for a week - just to save the planet.
Greedy communists. Looks like TV may become watchable if they stay out.
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
At some point the producers realized that women make the vast majority of purchases in a household. Hence, they tend to cater to women.
Though I don’t know what you mean by “depravity.”
