TV Sucks Nowadays
I remember when I turned on my TV there was always atleast 3 things to watch on TV. Now, there's nothing! Futurama is off air, I don't have cable to watch Robot Chicken or Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Fox sucks, CBS is all Crime Time Prime Time, NBC is Bull Crap, what happened to TV? I remember the days of turning on the tube to see a kid shoot out his school or kids getting hurt because they wanted to try jumping off houses like the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers on TV did. Now I'm lucky if there's a high speed chase. There's nothing good let alone interesting on, just stupid George W. Bush Jr. and his bull crap, and maybe JUST MAYBE a not so interesting Natural Disaster. I frankly don't care about flood victims, unless it's truely remarkable like people living on mount Kilermanjaro (SP?) have floods up to their homes way up high, noone cares. Who cares about some assholes house is flooded in the Mid West, those assholes should know by know MOVE OUT. If a Fire or Flood come my way, I get out of it's way. Anyone agree with me TV sucks?

Rous That is why we gave up tv three years ago. No cable available and the selections sucked. We do not miss it. If there is something we really want to see, friends tape it, or we rent it from blockbuster. We have finished two seasons of Lost, one each of House, Grey's Anatomy and Battlestar Galactica. We find it is the best way to watch tv. And, it leaves plenty of time for writing and reading.

Seriously, dude, you ought to try it. It will change your free time, big time. Tv is like a drug. It controlled everything we did. Now, we do what we like, when we like.

Lourdes The only show I let control my schedule is Heroes. But that's only one hour a week, and since it doesn't start back up until 4/23 I'm free to do what I want. Read, write, garden. Whatever. And I have Direct TV's version of Tivo anyway, so I don't even HAVE to stop what I'm doing to watch Heroes (though I usually do). I agree, you should just let go of your TV. You have no idea how liberating it is to walk into your living room and NOT feel compelled to drop into the couch and zombify yourself! Poor hubby still doesn't get that. I'll have to pry the remote from his cold, dead fingers someday!

hobbeth Personally, I find your remarks extremely insensitive and rude. People can't move to a place that will be totally safe from the ravages of weather or other environmental troubles. I don't know where you live, but I'll bet there are problems there, too. If not floods, then earthquakes, tornados, drought, hurricanes. . . the list goes on. And they can't always afford to, either.

While I agree that television isn't what it used to be - and I can remember farther back than you can - I also know that people have different tastes. So what if television doesn't cater to your tastes? You aren't the center of their world, and there are thousands of other people who do like what's on. Otherwise the shows wouldn't last even one full season. So if you don't like what you see on the "boob tube" (as it's been called for decades), go outside and play, take a walk, work in your yard if you have one, or go read a book, magazine or newspaper. And grow up.

facia Um...I'm sorry that people aren't dying in more interesting ways and entertaining you?

Rous Hmmm, I should have read the entire first post before replying. What a schmuck! The only thing worth watching on the tube is the news. Sounds like he would rather be ignorant. Well, I have heard that it is bliss. So...be blissful, taker.

Smiley02 All the really good shows are on late on school nights or late on Sundays.

taker Don't have work, don't have school. I'm also very sincal. I'll be the first to admit I'm a sinacle asshole and I use very tasteless humor. Only twisted people like me find the humor in my post. I just noticed how times changed and the world sucks more and more every passing minute. I also hate how we make a big deal about something happens yearly like the flooding in the midwest. They get real surprised when the flood/fire/earthquake happens. People CAN move, they just NOT to move. I garantee if the French say "we're nuking X in two days time" and you happen to live in X, with in 12 hours I garantee you've left your old home and found a new one. Last time I checked mountains like PA, NY, etc don't get extreame weather. Sure they is occasional winter storms, not like Alaska storms luckily. Floods aren't on mountains, Tornados aren't on mountains, droughts aren't on mountains often, hurrcianes are nowhere near mountains. We have feet, we can grab what we can and high tail it. I don't care if it does, I use to be able to find something to hold my interest, even if it's Sci-Fi, Animal, discovery, etc. I find something to play called "I set shit & feces on fire to keep myself from getting bored" There's no intersting books at my library, not even a good Epic. I just hate how TV caters mostly to whatevers in such as Faggot Idol (American Idol) so you think you can dance, etc. I hate those metrosexual shows. They're for women and men still in the closet if you ask me.

hobbeth "Floods aren't on mountains, Tornados aren't on mountains, droughts aren't on mountains often, hurrcianes are nowhere near mountains."

No, but the heaviest rainfalls and snowfalls are on the mountains. And avalanches occur on mountains. There is no place on earth that a person can go and be guaranteed absolute safety.

"There's no intersting books at my library, not even a good Epic."

Oh really? You've read a little of every book in the library? I doubt it. I suggest you try something you've never read before. Who knows? You might just surprise yourself, and find you enjoy it. Don't limit yourself to a tiny view of the world. Take off your blinders (and you perversions), and see what's really out there.

"I'm also very sincal. I'll be the first to admit I'm a sinacle asshole and I use very tasteless humor."

Do you mean "cynical"? I took me a bit to figure out what word you really meant, and I have been tested and found to have better than college level spelling and vocabulary. Hey, now there's something you could do if you're so bored: learn how to spell, so people can understand what you're talking about.

Instead of complaining how bored you are with things, and how much the world sucks, get out and do something about it. You may not be able to change the world, but you can change a little part of it, including yourself. But, you'll have to grow up first.
