Rip the thread all you want but at least it's got some people talking and posting and there aint too much of that going on around here.. Very few of the current shows on the networks can hold my interest...none of the sitcoms actually.I'd rather watch the old stuff than any of that crap including any of those vulgar cartoons.
Classic TV
- Thread starter FMA4ME
- Start date
Lol you're the main poster of all the current shows. You and Borg both. Yet now hardly anything holds your intetests? You watch more current shows then I do. I'm not even ripping the thread. Just the stuck up attitude coming from some posters.
I would love to see a favorite records threads btw.
I said on the networks,meaning NBC and so forth.The big three are loaded with a bunch of comedies that I cant sit through.Mostly crime dramas are what I am into and a lit if those I tend to lose interest in and stop watching.Your first post on here had a negative tone to it and now you're calling people old farts and joking about a record thread being next...sounds like ripping on the thread to me.
Oh I don't watch those networks either. You're absolutely correct it's pure junk.
I'm not the first to reference this as the old farts thread either and wouldn't have if it hadn't already been said. I'm old, you're all just older. Nothin to get worked up over
Enjoy your thread. some day I hope to see a thread that allows everyone to share their fav childhood shows, maybe I'll bump sumo's nastoliga thread.
I wasnt getting worked up,I just thought you were ripping the thread until I came across your comnent about the attitudes of certain posters...I didn't get that feeling but I see where you were coming from and this is a thread for childhood shows since we were kids when we watched this stuff....even Benny Hill lol.
Couldn'tpay me to skip modern TVto watch old stuff
Your words do state a bias though you choose to use semantics stating otherwise. As for my "bias" you allude to; it has nothing to do with the era as you so stated. I have clearly stated in my opening comment alone, a HUGE difference from societal norms of "the era" for my age group (graduated HS in '79), I DO NOT LIKE The Rolling Stones, add to that the not mentioned Aerosmith, Led Zepplin, Ozzie (Black Sabbath), Jethro Tull, AC/DC, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix, Donovan, and many many more of the genre...
My argument was never based as an opinion about followers of music of the modern era, pro or con, but the analogy was presented to highlight the relatioship between the two eras, AND the mindset of those who think the modern media is "new" and "original".
I never supported "the era", but certain aspects of it in part (show by show as noted) and supported "the era" as pertains to Classic TV in particular in it's more FAMILY FRIENDLY STYLE vs the blatant vulgarities of today's modern shows. There is nothing closed minded about choosing not to warch something or not to listen to something AFTER becoming familiar with the artist (if you can truthfully call them that) and then choose not to continue following them for reason of content. To each their own. Such is life, and be it as it may... Whatever! Oh, sorry... that was so out of character of me.... a modern term slipped out.
To wit: (that means..."for example" but the classic form is only 5 letters vs the modern 10):
Eminem's RAP GOD... imho, Way way overboard in the atrociousness of the vugarities and references in the lyrics!! even to the sorry extent of "Luc*f*r take the wheel"...
No sir... I'm not closed minded, however, there are some shows I wish I had never seen, and some songs I wish I had never heard.
None the less... "close minded"? I don't think so. My opinions are based on having sampled the episodes and songs of the artists of the eras of my life.
Fourteen & a half years in the military, with year plus tours to Korea, Turkey, Honduras, and many shorter "stays" has exposed me to an extremely broad spectrum of the populous and the "favorites" of those younger than myself, and as noteably, those much older than myself.
Your statement simply expressed your preference of era without any substantiating support. That, my friend, is a close minded statement and contrasts greatly with my posts prior to that.
