Has TV gone off the deep end

So just to clarify Naked and afraid is not the same as naked dating....I too (unfortunately) stumbled across naked dating just the other day and I felt my own IQ lower just for the mere fact that I watched for an entire 10 minutes. I was in awe than anyone could actually find a naked date anything other than insanely awkward and then it hit me how ridiculous it was that they made a show about it and I wasted 10 minutes of my life watching it!

I did watch one episode of naked dating - late night, couldn't sleep and nothing on. Fist date was some dork and a decent looking chick and their date was wake boarding. He went first and couldn't for save his life get up on the board. Spent most of the first date head down with ass and nuts out of the water. Her face was priceless. Her turn, she popped right up and did some tricks on the wake. I did laugh my ass of at him struggling like a complete idiot. Haven't tuned in since but did have a good laugh at the stupidity.

I would rather take my chances that I pissed God and mothet nature off too many times and get struck down . it still better than some of the crap on tv

Cutty don't get that channel. Only Gilligan's Island and The Andy Griffith Show.

Who you callin' "proletariat"?!??!?

Likely already dumb if they are watching. Not helping, but a symptom me thinks.

After my last kid leaves for college I am thinking of just dropping all but the basic TV and keeping the ruku box. I can can live without 90% of TV programming. IMO we are moving to a nextflix like on-demand for all tv eventually.

Still - I must be a old white guy in training as well, because I mostly agree with you grumpy bastages!

One of the great things about CH is no TV, I hope it is still true.

[Guppy]

[Mr. Sandman]

well that's what's funny - there is only one tv in the main room there, so we would all need to "agree" on what the watch

Oh, I likes 'em....I likes 'em a hole bunch!

Unfortunately the head attached to them is usually unbearable!

Kind of like putting a Wallmart reel on an expensive rod.

I just returned from a week and a half at the family compound in West Dennis. My house is the oldest (around 125) and least upgraded. No phone, no cable, no wireless. there isn't a three prong electrical outlet in the whole house. My brother and his daughter were out from Seattle area and going through absolute withdrawal. I said, "Hey, you guys like NatGeo? The History Channel?, American Pickers?" "Oh yea, that's cool, we like that." "Well in the front room there's a ton of National Geographic magazines from the 60's to the 80's, Yankee magazines, Life magazines there's even Boy's Life and Ranger Rick from when we were kids, as well as old books (is there anything better than the smell of a musty old book), history books, old historic novels on the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, paperback novels, romance novels for the beach crowd. There's closets full of old stuff to pull out and look at and try on or tey and figure out what something is." I didn't miss TV or my computer one bit. Couldn't contain myself when I got back to the world, but for 10 days I was E-less except for the daily update to the family to let them know I hadn't hurt myself in any way and my blood pressure had even dropped to acceptable levels (but I also attribute that to my daily swim in the soothing, healing waters of Bass River). Yea, long winded way of agreeing, "What the heck's up with TV these days?"

[The Dad Fisherman]

There's actually some great TV being made if you look for it instead of that other Dreck....

The walking dead
The bridge
Sons of anarchy
Justified
Hell on wheels
The strain
The Americans

All great shows with intelligent writing behind them.

Anybody that made the Breaking Bad journey enjoyed probably one of the best written TV shows ever.

Anything that tries to base itself in "reality" is pure crap

Maybe I'm old school, but I'd sit and watch One Flew Over The Cucko's Nest until I knew (not that I don't already) every line by heart, than tune into some of these shows.

Honestly I'd rather watch that over the other so called reality shows like the Carsmashians.
