checkerboy Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Sadly, Lost is losing viewers as a result of the long intervals between seasons. I just hope they stay on the air long enough to finish the series as scheduled. I believe the already signed a contract with ABC so despite low ratings they are obligated to let them finish.

checkerboy Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Why are we attacking the OP? He made a good choice. I am really getting tired of people here browbeating others because they don't agree with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truegrits Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Is "getting tired" a step above "really bored"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this beast that usually sleeps within me and sometimes it gets rattled and wakes up. Most of the time it is bored though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Actually I find the majority of shows that are seen on FOX network to be pretty undesirable. Not all but the majority of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm sorry, but what on earth made you think that "House" was a show appropriate for your family to watch? Right on. Sticking with the Disney, Nickelodeon and KBYU channels will always be safe, no matter how narrow your comfort zone. However, don't forget to tune into Monk on the USA channel so its ratings can remain high enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DeborahC Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Ummmm... I'd NEVER consider "House" as family entertainment, and I'm pretty liberal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Moksha...my younger child's nickname is "Monk". Any child nicknamed after Adrian Monk has got to be exceptional. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiannan Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 From the few episodes I've watched, the impression I came away with is...that he doesn't give a hoot about saving a life; his impetus is solving the puzzle/mystery. From my understanding psychopaths are drawn to such professional situations. So what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy740 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 There's not much on television that I watch that's "new" anymore. I'm only 30, but I stick to Nick at Nite with Home Improvement, Cosby Show and Family Matters. I watch the news. The only new shows I watch regularly are Hell's Kitchen & Kitchen Nightmares (having previously worked in restaurants, I find it fascinating). Today's TV entertainment just isn't entertaining as it used to be. So I'll primarily live in the past with old TV sitcoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countrygirl66 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I doubt you will like this but here goes. I always tell my kids lets give it the old yeller test. If you can watch old yeller and still feel bad when the dog gets rabies and has to be shot then you still have sensitivity. If you watch it and feel nothing but this is stupid, well then maybe you need a break from what your watching. I would personally prefer the sound of music, however my kids would really howl then.

However, don't forget to tune into Monk on the USA channel so its ratings can remain high enough.Nickelodeon is banned in the house when I am not home. Some of the shows seem to enforce bad attitudes. The only channels allowed are Discovery and Disney. I wish they had Nick at Nite over here. Even with these rules, I have come close to cutting the tv cord a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgama Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 OK I get House find it funny the humour is quite British for an American show though and I am really liberal in what my kids watch - but even if the main actor is also a very funny comedian, Bertie Wooster, and Preston Pig who on Earth said it was a family show? here it is shown on the main channels after the watershed. -Charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
