We don't like the reality or game shows at all. We've tried, but just not what we like to watch.

Of course the weird things have been watching some of the cable stations start doing things like 90 second infomercials instead of commercials. One of our stations does that, and it is so creepy.

Hi FinLady:

We seem to be watching the same shows. I watch House, NCIS, The Unit, Army Wives, I LOVE THE TUDORS (on showtime, I do hope they bring this back). Have you ever watched this program?

But what gets me is the sexual content that is now being shown on daytime soaps. It used to be implied. It no longer is. They are becoming blatant. I thought Grays Anatomy was bad enough when the two ladies were going at it. And I don't care if the person is gay or straight. But when I'm watching a good medical show, I don't want to see this kind of behavior. If I did want to see this kind of behavior, I'd tune into a porn channel. But I don't. I want to watch a HOUSE type show.

Well, all they do on Gray's Anatomy is jump each others bones.

What on earth ever happened to good quality tv. Without all the sex.

Now they are doing this on All My Children. Jeez.

Years ago, things were IMPLIED. I remember watching old movies and when two people walked to the bed, the scene changed and the camera went to the sky and showed the clouds. I remember this like it was yesterday. It was all implied.

Now....no more implying....THEY SHOW YOU EVERYTHING. And there are children watching. And there are childen doing stuff that childen have no business doing.

Makes me ill to see what tv programming has become.

Sorry to go off on a soapbox but if I see one more person going from one guy to another, I'll scream.
