Sat night bummer

**Stovebolter** · 10-26-2008 11:07 AM

Oh yes. The fabulous boob tube. Reality TV has pretty well ruined it for me. That and all the political crap. I'm not sure I trust any of them with our country's future now.

I like the original CSI (Vegas). Thats about it. Really miss the stuff my sis and I grew up with. Like...Disney movies, Mutal of Omaha Wild Kingdom, and re-runs of Leave it to Beaver. It depresses me to even imagine what my grandchildren will be watching when they're kids.

Yesterday it was 37 degrees. This morning its 63. Must have been a warm front sneak in last night. Need to get back out to the shop b4 father winter comes to visit. Later!

Dont forget about Festus, Dave. Sorry to hear about the snow. It was 37 yesterday morning and that felt a lot colder than I'm ready for.

8:50 it's 40 deg with 30-45 mph winds. I love 'ol Festus. It don't get more old western than him. . . . .

I use the remote when Speed Channel and one of the others are both running a race! Other then that, afraid I'd just wear it out if I kept flippin' channels looking for something that was actually good!!! If it weren't for Speed Channel, Discovery, and Nat Geo wouldn't be much there........

What is funny about those old shows is that our memories of them are different than the reality. A few years ago the local cable channel here started to run old episodes of "77 Sunset Strip" and I was thrilled........when I was a Kid I was glued to the set every Friday night, looking for Kookies T bucket.

So, they rerun it at like 1 AM and I stay up to watch it for about a week, and never once did the T bucket get used in any episode.

But the acting and plots were so horrible that I couldn't watch it any more, so after the week I gave up. We must have been very starved for entertainment back then because when I see some of these old shows they were just bad. Now we have REAL entertainment, like "The Girls Next Door!!!"

You mean, What's My Line??? Always liked that one too!!! Some of the old one's sure beat the heck out of what's on now!!!! To think the Smothers Brothers got tossed because they were too politically controversial!!!!!

**Dave Severson** · 10-26-2008 07:12 AM

1 AM???? Geez, I can't stay up that late to watch anything....Though my first wake up of the night is usually around 2:30 AM

**Dave Severson** · 10-26-2008 07:21 AM

As for what's on the tube now.....Well, I'll be out in the garage!!!! Nothing on but the "experts"....

Football
NASCAR
Politics
you name it

Don't know why they bother playing the games, having the race, or running an election.... All these alleged "experts" have it all figured out anyway!!!! I sure do get tired of the ********** media telling me what to think all the time... Heck, I'm so old I remember when they were reporters and personal opinions were known as editorials!!!!!!!!

**jerry clayton** · 10-26-2008 07:25 AM

I was in bed by 8:30 last night---course I had been moving STUFF at the old shop all day !!!!loaded pallet rack, oil barrels, blocks ( one 392, 5five 426 hemi, 4 440s, lotsa iron chev, several later ls and ford modular) transmissions, 33 ford frames & Downs bodies(anyone need couple roadsters or a Cabrelay? ) work benches(stacking them outside for anyone who wants some

And to think that we moved back to the home shop because of fuel costs and travel time--costs are down, still been traveling to move out, what did I gain?

**jerry clayton** · 10-26-2008 07:26 AM

Remember when the news was John Cameron Swazy and was sponsered by Timex watches and Walk a mile for a Camel????

**ted dehaan** · 10-26-2008 11:06 AM

well you could just wait for the latest copy of girls gone wild to come in the mail btw did you know bob spelled backwards is bob.... LOL TED

**Matt167** · 10-26-2008 11:45 AM

I like CSI also, the original the best, but I'll watch the others if I'm in the mood...

as for the kids in the future.. arleady, looney tunes and Tom and Jerry is off the air on regular channels.. suggestive themes and violence they say.. this stuff is in there, but kids won't understand it, and focus on the slapstick part that the plot rest's on. this held true for 40 years or so, until now, the govt says it is no good...

but we do get Leave it to Beaver on RTN.. got to rent the cartoons tho
