Storage Wars...they cut the lock and open the storage door and a nuke is inside with the timer showing 5 seconds until detonation. American Pickers...Mike and Frank are looking over an old barn and come across a nuke with the timer showing 5 seconds until detonation. Operation Repo trash repossess a car and after getting it to their junkyard, while one of them slops canned beans in his mouth, discover a nuke in the trunk with the timer showing 5 seconds until detonation. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 8220402 01/08/2012 07:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hadn't watched TV in a long time. Well this year I thought I'd watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' at Christmas. So anyway, during a commercial break a 'The More You Know' clip plays and this sharp dressed reported guy with a lovely smile says something like: 'If you be nice to someone, people will be nice back' and that was it - that was the whole message! I was like - what? Anyways, I was reminded why I don't watch TV no more. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 252372 Example: all the "housewives" series. Trash consumes yet more trash. The problem with your TV listing is in the minds of the majority of TV watchers, people who are smarter than they tailor the programs tot heir taste to keep extracting that $$$$ year after year |

Quoting: Dr Doom There are so many references to the Bible... and specifically the downfall of Babylon... in the song, Stairway to Heaven... I can't list them all here. In the Bible, Babylon has three incarnations... first is the Tower of Babel that reached to heaven, second is the Babylonian empire and third is Mystery, Babylon. The Tower of Babel [Babylon] reached to heaven because the people were one [thus the lyrics "when one is all and all are one."] God divided the people and destroyed the tower. One is the repeat theme: "Oh it makes me wonder." This is St John the Divine when he sees Babylon in a vision for the first time [Rev 17], he "wondered with great wonder." Another is the songbird in the tree by the brook... this imagery is taken directly from Psalm 137 [136 Greek] [link to niv.scripturetext.com] Another is the lyric "to be a rock and not to roll" which is the reverse description of the destruction of Babylon, " I will roll you down from the rocks " Jeremiah 51:25 . sorry OP, I know it's off topic... Very interesting! thanks |

In the book of Daniel, the hand of God wrote on the wall of Babylon, "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN" which only Daniel could interpret: Babylon was judged and destined to fall to Cyrus' Medes/Persians. . |

(National Geographic Channel)...or Discovery Channel? two for starters. Just because there's crap on tv doesn' mean you have to watch it. LOOK THRU the listings and channels you can get and do some research; ok, even a little!!! and you'll find many worthwhile shows!! Granted,there is lots of crap there, but the good stuff's there, too, if you only look for it. On another note, I've noticed a real decline over the past 50 years on what language is acceptable on tv now, esp. on those situation comedies. Recently I heard 'son of a bitch" and "bitch" and couldn't believe my ears!!! I am no prude, but just saying that a few years ago those words - and others - would never have been allowed. So they may be catering to the lowest common denominator, or looking for ratings....but such is life in the world of TV!!! |

Is the TV being programmed, or the people watching the TV? |

Pawn Stars - same scenario except Rick calls a "friend" to look at it and haggles the seller down because he has expenses you know. |
