OK, OK, I admit it. I am addicted to television. Again. For the second time.
The first time was from, oh, about 1963 thru about 1974.
For around 33 years I watched on a minimal basis.
Then something happened to me in 2007 and I was right back at the trough.
OMG!!! My Big 10!
Nashville, The Good Wife, SVU, Elementary, Unforgettable (it's coming back), Once Upon a Time, Covert Affairs, Dallas (the new one), NCIS, and Grimm!!!
Oh, I watched all the CSI's, Law and Orders, Hawaii 5-O's, etc, but I have defaulted pretty much to the above list (plus movies....)
I am weak for TV.

That explains why you haven't been posting here.... THat's okay, at least you haven't listed such atrocities as: The Half Ton Virgin I Live with Pigs....In their pen America's Next Top Loser Diving with the Stars Honey Boo Boo Sister Wives My Strange AddictionI I google titles of reality shows or stop to see bits whilst surfing and I'm amazed at the stupidity that people display on tv.....like this one couple that doesn't spend money on toilet paper, but they cut up squares of fabric and re-use them...I thought to myself, why would you want to show the world how pathetic you are?  ? But it was great to see you post... |

Isn't there some sort of show on nowadays about "Real Fat Loser Amish Midget Chefs, Redneck Wives, And Little Fat Beauty Pageant Babies of Beverly Hills Diving into YMCA Pools"? Or something to that effect anyway (I dunno)...  |

Surfing tv and saw a stupid thing called "Breaking Amish" and these young people who were supposedly Amish, dressed in regular attire trying to find acceptance in an Amish trailer park in Florida and were perplexed nobody in that community would accept them and allow them to move in....duh.....Breaking Amish...you're supposed to be leaving that strict lifestyle...not trying to go back....seriously....they need to find some fresh material besides strange eating habits and hoarders...

Ah yes reality TV! I have seen the Amish and the Hoarder shows and I get your point. How about underweight Quakers trying to get a mortgage reduction after they get fired from Costco? Hmmmm, I dunno......

Underweight Quakers...how's that possible when they have many pot luck dinners?
Baby Amish Beauty Queens, and Mennonite buggy hoaders, Mormon wife hoarders, Gypsy Vampire Beauty Queens, Amish Buddhist baby queen hoarders, and last of all, Ringo Starr Look-a-Like Amish Baby Buggy hoarders....
THere's a line going around the building of TLC with ideas for "reality" shows....oh, and don't forget Midget Cowboy Duck Hoarders....it was an all midget musical....inspired by the flick "The Terror of Tiny Town".

Doc, there's nothing new under the sun....indeed I think there has been indeed too many out in the sun too long....
TV...it used to be a variety of things to watch, from westerns, to family shows, to variety shows, silly stuff. It wasn't looking for "reality", it was offering different things for different tastes. From Little House to Archie Bunker's house....
We had Lawrence Welk and Hee Haw...Green Acres, Andy and Opie and Floyd the Barber...even though it may have been pathetic, it was a made up pathetic. But the so called reality stuff, it's a different kind of pathetic, in that it's supposed to be "real"....at least the old pathetic was made up and you knew it...today, it's presented as here's our world....
Maybe it's the aging process, and you have more time to "think".....maybe the "medication" kicking in...but I've uttered my observations for the victims...um...readers....
Pardon my ramblings....and am thankful there is a place to ramble...even if only one person reads them and gets something from it, even if it's gas...at least it's being released....
May this go well with you...
peace and love to all....
Rita...

I think I need something a little more traditionally scripted. I like a procedural show. I'm a procedural kind of person. Actually I'm just a big procedural queen.

Ion Tv has Law and Order Marathons on Thurs and Sat.
Good procedural.
Which is good cause I'm having a procedure done Thurs morn.
Gotta get a tooth extracted - hate even the thought of it.
But, if it stops that side of my face from getting infected again I guess it'll be worth it.
So after the procedure, and obtaining pills, the plan is to take advantage of the scripted substances,
get as legally high as I can - sit in a chair and watch these
scripted presentations.
I'll try and see if I can figure out Robert Dinofrio's
train of thought better in an altered state or not.
I do know that if I try to watch 'reality' TV - such as the Cardashians,
I'll be tuning in thinking it'll be a real show about
another race Flying around some space station
such as Deep Space #9. #9, #9. #9, #9.....
and waiting for the van to come.
And you'd Ask Me Why
and I'd just say Because.
Of course at this point in time and space, it's too late to Act Naturally,
and If I Fell into unconsciousness -
well, I'm only sleeping.
And so
Goodnight.

www.namethatfont.net/law-order-font/
The font is highly recognizable, especially in the United States, on the identifying plaque of One Police Plaza, the headquarters of the New York City Police Department, which has its letters carved in this typeface.
Consequently, the typeface is used in the titles and credits sequences of the TV series Law & Order and its spin-offs.
www.latin-dictionary.net/definition/32458/quadratus-quadrata-quadratum
Definition: squared
plaza (n.)
from Spanish plaza "square, place," from Vulgar Latin *plattia, from Latin platea "courtyard, broad street" (see place (n.))

of the people, by the people, for the people

Doc, if you ever read this....make your own syndicated show....we need something besides the onslaught of "reality"...indeed Amish dwarf mafia types and baby beauty queens are a thing of the past. Do we really want to watch a show about a dwarf couple? Someone who eats dirty diapers and has a love affair with their mustang? Think about this people, our society has gone to pot! How can we so dumbed down as a collective group of people who do this "reality" thing?
It's seriously disturbing to make celebrities out of Duck Dynasty and Honey Boo Boo...and I'm shocked that the miserable Kate plus 8 hag is back....we need to look at ourselves.....
We have cats from hell, swamp monsters, real housewives...so they tell us, it's really sad!

There is only one guarantee I can give you if you decommission your television and that is a ten-fold return of your intuition and six senses. Hope Doc is on again sometime.

There is only one guarantee I can give you if you decommission your television and that is a ten-fold return of your intuition and five senses. Hope Doc is on again sometime. I notice on Facebook and a lot of "conspiracy" websites many people knock TV and says it is "horrible"! The real IRONY is MANY TV programs are FAR FAR better written and have far better information than Facebook and most "conspiracy" websites!! TV often has BETTER and NEWER ideas! If I hear some brain dead hillbilly moron like Eric Dubay say the "Jew World Order" or the "Rothchild's" one more time I will scream, lol! I first heard all about the "Jews" FIFTY YEARS AGO! Hey hillbilly morons GET SOME NEW IDEAS! On the other hand watching an episode of CSI or "The Good Wife" or "Boardwalk Empire" or "Elementary" or the "Big Bang Theory" or old shows like "Star Trek" or "Twilight Zone" etc. etc. is far more entertaining and enlightening and have better and NEWER ideas then the idiots that "run" the "conspiracy" internet! So what do these morons do when you point this stuff out? Instead of getting smarter they BAN PEOPLE! Of course this point to the REAL reason these guys don't like TV. It makes them look DUMB! Easy to do I admit! |

? 
Wow!
