We now have something like 85 seasons of television and about 500 movies, so we don't ever bother with normal TV anymore. We figure if we run out of stuff to watch with a collection like that - it is OUR problem lol. |

Sneetch User ID: 14967850 United States11/13/2012 01:06 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its very hard to watch because all it is are commercials, shitty sitcoms, shitty scripted reality TV, and MSM news. The only things I can watch any more are Cooking, HGTV (filled with way too many homos though), and How its Made. You can't watch sports unless you're at a party because the normal football game goes like: 1 minute of play, 5 minutes of commercials, another 5 minutes of play, 5 minutes of commercials, kickoff, commercials... We were meant to live for so much more, have we lost ourselves? |

To think, for centuries, millions of people lived and died without ever knowing TV. You're really telling me that there's NOTHING you enjoy about it? Well, you can call me a simpleton if it makes you feel better, but I don't buy into this "I'm superior to you because I gave up my TV, you're all sheep for not agreeing with me" self-righteousness that you propagate. |
| Debauchery User ID: 15455863 United States11/13/2012 01:25 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I do. The Waltons every evening. There are a couple other shows I watch as well. I like old movies so I'm a fan of the TCM channel. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it." Amen. |

I watch it and I know it's nonsense. The best thing to do is know it's tricks. Don't be fooled by them. Know it's all entertainment and enjoy it. Even the news is scripted nonsense. We know that. I think as with all things...too much of anything is a bad thing. We are getting to the point where everything is entertainment and it makes even the simplest of us wonder... "Why am I being given all this "free" entertainment" |
