Bub, I agree 100% with you.

But let's face it, even though you appear to be a bit of a spring chicken, you are in fact metamorphosising into middle aged man.

You are becoming more pedantic, grumpy and beligerent by the day.
 
Things that were at worse, minor irritants, have now become topics of heated debate.
 
Welcome to the club.

Welcome to my world.

But on the plus side it's really great when you get to embarrass your kids by describing things as 'Cool' or (much worse) 'Groovy'

LOL!

Ya know, I didn't see it that way when I was writing it, the crotchety old man thing, but now that I've gone back and re-read it with that in mind, it's absolutely hilarious. You are 100% right! LOL!

I said good riddance to my TV 10 years ago for precisely this reason. Apart from the fact that 99% of TV is just the most shallow, contrived, rehashed BS and has been for at least 20 years, I simply cannot stand the "modern" production techniques, which are obviously aimed at the most shallow simpletons in society. Basically, TV (especially the commercials) reminds me of the lowest common denominator it's aimed at, and this makes me angryed!

One thing which especially boils my pish is the modern tendency of documentary shows to have thumping "chrapno" in the background throughout the whole program. This, again, does nothing but make me despise the kind of people who cannot concentrate on a show about giant oil rigs unless there's a constant lite-house beat in the background. Sometimes you can't even hear the freaking narration for the music.

Me too Steve. I posted something on FB about living in a neighborhood where I can hear someone cutting grass every morning and every evening, seven days a week and that the guy who mows across the street uses one of those hugh mowers with a little platform on the back where he stands... and it does not seem to have a muffler, or the muffler has a hole in it. I am maybe 200' away and cannot stand to be outside when he mows, it is absurd.
The neighbor called me to ask if it was his "guy". I told him I was jus a grouchy old man but yes, it was. He said he'd check it out. I was going to get a SPL meter and check it... still might. What really bothers me the most is that it is every freaking day. I can't wait until the leaves fall and they all break out the blowers...
 
It seems like every day my wife asks me if I am mad... no, I'm not mad. I just don't like chatter and I wasn't listening anyway. I think my most often used word is, "WHAT"??
 
I think I need an application for club membership.

The only monster show that ever finds monsters is River Monsters.

I cannot believe I have watched two seasons of people pulling up and alligator, chooting it, and hauling it in the boat...

Oh yeah ... I stopped watching that one too. That and the one with the burly guys in the woods chopping down the forest and always fist fighting. And the chopper one too ...

The only new good one I've seen is that Worlds Worst Tenants and Repo Games. That WWT show, if it's real, is amazing to me. My wife has her doubts that the stuff they show really happens. She thinks it's all staged. Little old ladies growing pot in their apartments, illegal meat processing to be sold on the black market, some creepy dude that ran wired web cams in to women's apartments through the vents and sold the video's on the net, hidden sweat shops in peoples garages ... it's really an amazing show if it's real.

Speaking of monsters did you read about the guy who got killed the other day trying to scare people along a backwoods road, dressed as Bigfoot. Somebody ran their car in to him and the guy behind that car creamed him a second time for good measure! LOL!!!!! It's not funny that he died, but the whole thing is hilarious.

I think all we have to do is cover aliens and we can wrap this thread up. :)

WWT? I have not seen that. Lizard Lick Towing may get od pretty soon.

That is bad about the bigfoot guy, I feel for his family but dang.. I bet his last words were, "Hey ya'll, watch this"! Darwin was right about natural selection.

It's on Spike. The guy who is the 'star' of the show is a big dude and he's always getting in to fist fights. He took on a biker gang one time and pulled a gun on them. He's drew his firearm several times on the show.

That's the biker gang fight.

Bub, I totally agree with the OP and will gladly hold these idiots down while you twist their pea-brained little sculls off.

Totally agree.

I missed TV for a good 12 - 15 years during the mid 80's and all through the 90's. I couldn't tell you one thing that aired on network TV during the 90's. I was playing in a band at the time and was always gone. I know, apparently that's a bad thing. ;) J/K! :). When I started watching it again I was shocked at all the sex, scantily clad women, and general filth. There's a channel called MeTV that airs all the comedy and drama shows from the 50's up to the late 70's. That channel, which is free over the air, and a few shows on network TV are about all I watch anymore.

After reading all this , I am SO GLAD I don't have cable, satellite, etc to watch this PAP. Right now I am watching MeTV, old 60/70s showa, on OTA tv, and know what I don't miss Snookie,and who the hell else are the star du jour. BREAD and Circuses, ,,, google it, if you don't know..

I was listening to talk radio the other day and ABC News came on. "Hurricane headed toward Florida" "Mitt Romney running mate to give speech" "Housing market on the rise" and ........... "Snooki gives birth to a baby boy."

ABC NEWS! Why is "Snooki gives birth to a baby boy" on the ABC News feed? I just don't get it.

MeTV is great. I love Svengoolie! :)
