hmmm..i do miss tv. I have only seen a couple things in the past month, one being the DNC convention and the other being a cooking show and the simpsons on 4 separate occassions and family guy...
I do like tv for a few things:
1. simpsons
2. southpark
3. daily show.
4. futurama
5. King of the hill
6. Wrestling
7. Enterprise or any star trek or babylon 5
8. News, various channels, CNN or Fox or MSNBC, oreilly factor on certain nights if i'm in the mood to be pissed and shouting at the TV..
9. Free HBO/showtime/movie channel/stars/encore, so maybe a decent movie every now and then, like maybe one a week.
I used to enjoy sex and the city, but can't stand the thought of it on TBS w/out the word, "fuck"
I don't watch all these daily or spend much time in front of the TV, but these are teh only things you'll find on if the TV is on.
Notice: no..NO...reality TV. Wanna know why...simple...it sucks and is degrading and i watch tv to escape reality..i don't watch tv to see reality, i walk out the fucking door...
i absolutely hate reality tv. I think it s the most assanine stuff imaginable....and this is coming from a guy that watches pro wrestling...SERiously, "My big fat obnoxious husband" "who wants to marry a millionaire" "Simple life 1 and 2" "Newlyweds" "Amish in the city' "Joe Schmoe" "Fear factor" "american anything" "who wants to be a ...anything"
and it's a sad state of affairs when there were more votes cast for American idol 1 than for the presidential election that year...
And i'm with Bobaphat...Where the fuck are the sitcoms. I was actually enjoying oliver beene for some stupid reason...i think bc it just made fun of the wonder years. But seriously, I miss shows like the jeffersons or all in the family or mama's family or FUCKING MARRIED WITH CHILDREN!!!! those aren't my faves...well, married wtih children is always a fave, but seriously, is it so hard to find sitcom writers...
Oh, i left out one of my fave shows currently on..'chappelle show' That is the top thing on now, fuck reality tv, dave chappelle is about as real as it gets.
