most of you know i watch my shows either on torrents or hulu.com.  part of this being because i got tired of the Comcast idea of "fair pricing."

but anyway....there is this newer show out, called "accidentally on purpose"....and with a name like that, how could it go wrong?  plus, as i started watching, noted one of my fav sitcom actresses was on it.....the one from that show where she played a hippie....darma something?

so i'm sitting here, thinking it's going to be at least semi-entertaining......yet the show i watched from this last week, totally revolved around the subject of "boobs."  i mean....common.....how retarded ARE these writers?  halfway through the show, i found myself yelling at the screen YES, WE KNOW WOMEN GET BIG BOOBS WHEN THEY'RE PREGNANT!!!!!  oh, and they get more horny?.....yes, we know that too.  and then they portray the men in it as one step below mentally challenged frat boys......

and i'm listening to the laugh track, telling me when something should be funny.  and so far, haven't heard a darn thing witty enough to make me crack a smile.  and the SCARY thing is.....the show is apparently into its second season.  how the hell did it manage that?  with writers that obviously must have done a little too much coke in college.....

and not to be a drama queen....but HOW much have we dumbed down the public in the last few decades or so?  when the sitcoms hinge on about a 2nd grade, or 7 year old, comprehension level....while at the same time being ADULT content? who in god's name do they expect to watch it....a target audience of perverted 7 year olds?.....and the new dramas like stargate universe, incorporate all this strange back and forth in a plot, because apparently viewers no longer have enough of an attention span to follow a story from point A to point B.

now it's not like i have a right to complain.....hell, am not even paying for cable.  but it sure as shit makes you wonder.....where did we go?

which one?  lol....haven't been to my E one in awhile......and am supposed to do a critic's corner blog on rocking road this week.....just not happy with that, because no one sent in any haiku, and those put in comments on the blog did not follow the guidelines.  so it's like all i would get to talk about is going over what a haiku IS again.....and hate having to repeat myself.  don't like to break my word.....so by tomorrow, will try to come up with something that is at least entertaining for rocking road.

Having taught K, 2nd and 3rd, I can wholeheartedly agree with everything you have said here.  It's shocking and sad indeed.  Thought-provoking write, E.

thanks, Barbara....was probably too kind on the estimate, and closer to a first grade level.....but in that ballpark.  have taught various grades and ages myself....from sunday school to vacation bible school to elementary computer and nursery school.  plus had a very good course at CSUC on children's art, and comprehension levels as displayed at different grades and ages.  so yea....i wasn't exaggerating for effect or anything there.....it really is sad.....

Yes, it's incredible the stuff that's on now.  Gosh, I feel so old saying that, but it's true.

i guess so.....though when it comes down to it....my education isn't anything special....don't even have my four year degree.  but maybe they think their best consumers are highschool drop outs or something....

i can only watch so much sports on TV, or have to be in a certain mood.  guess my fav is the sitcom, of course depending on the writing.....

big problem with them lately.....or ever since drew carey or so.....is that many can't seem to pull off a joke without it floating off into the gutter.  which makes me a prude....lol!  but it's just so tired and old....plus if i wanted to watch porn, i would go rent porn....hello?  i mean, if sex is that necessary, there are a LOT better ways to get it than a sitcom....

i think the best sitcom ever, or at least from those in color....is jerry seinfeld.  some really nice writing on that.....

i like watching them for the turns of wit.....and you should see this freeze frame i did on "the big bang theory" .....will have to see if i can get a screen shot of it.  i swear this guy sounds like me....

hey, i don't mind boobs....lol....just find it annoying to have 15 minutes worth of "aren't these boobs big from being pregnant" jokes.....when all it is is retarded, and so dumbed down, i guess they're trying to teach 12 year olds they should get pregnant......

Amen. This is why I don't watch TV anymore. It's just gotten progressively worse and worse. One of the few times I turned in recently I saw some show called "Wipeout" that was entirely comprised of people running on some obstacle and falling off and landing in water. That was the entire premise of the show! How stupid can you get? WTF is wrong with people?

well i know there has been some cross-over of asian-idea-based reality and game-type shows.....that have very little objective but to showcase the base nature of common people.  that sounded rather snobby, didn't it....hehe.

thanks New.....i don't know what's wrong with people.....i mean, we assumed we reached our low point with jerry springer.....

Great write.

thanks.....i don't watch much regular tv either anymore......might be a sign of getting old?  i don't know, but could be that a good deal of the programming is just too dumbed down now.  i DO like to watch some shows via computer and downloaded files for my iPod.  haven't monitored the saturday shows in awhile...last i checked, it was hard to take.  and i don't even know how or what is going to happen with these kids.....last time i visited my young niece, she was off in her own world like hypnotized or in a trance, 4 years old and talking about having babies in her stomach.  ????

it's really weird......at that age, i think the most i cared about was the fastest way to blow dandelion seeds off a flower....

Dumbing down is right. I'm so glad my passion at the moment is writing because I hardly look at the "boob tube" any more. At least writing is real. Speaking of "real" how can anyone possibly be drawn to "reality tv"???? OMG, what a pile of horse dung. Are our lives so void, so desperately out of sinc with reality that we have to watch such useless drivel?? Sex and violence are evidently the big sellers and it would seem that television producers are so desperate for an audience they'll put any amount of offensive (by virtue of the mindless content) schlock on the idiot box to drive up their ratings. We are shaping young minds with this garbage people...wake up. Sorry Eileen, got on a bit of a tear here.

well it would be nice if folks woke up.......i mean, am sure that there were harmful elements in the TV i watched as i grew up.  but nine times out of ten, i was out sitting in the sun and reading a book, rather than the TV. 

and have been thinking on it, Don......and do we have any recordings of "troubled teens" prior to the twentieth century? 

like the premise of romeo and juliet was that they honored their family and parents.  if today, the crux and theme of the story isn't even there. 

have we CREATED the "troubled teens" because of some greater stress between the definition of childhood and adult......
