Re: the Official Nikki Nova thread
Ok so...question for you guys. Television. What are your thoughts? I mean i persoannly don't have tv because that's the only thing I can honestly say I have an addiction/problem with. If a TV is on I can not tear away from it. I will watch anything. Even an infomercial I have seen 1000 times for a product I have zero interest in. It's a pretty gay addiction huh? Most ppl have ********,****. shopping,********,sex addictions. Me...tv. I have a television set but I only use it to watch the occasional movie. I personally think TV is a huge waste of time...even the news. I mean it's not like the news is even really the news anyhow. Esp not in the U.S. That being said I do have a Dexter addiction and God Bless the internet for allowing me to still watch that show. I also love Man VS. Wild and The Daily Show.
Any other Dexter fans here?

I share that same addiction, and am trying to move myself off it for obvious reasons. My weakness is old sitcoms and dramas from the 60's and 70's. I love shows like Kojak, The Rockford Files, All in the ******, The Jeffersons, Sanford and ***, I ***** of Jeanie, Bewitched, I Love Lucy (ok that's from the 50's, but it still holds up) etc. I also watch The Daily Show and Real Time With Bill Maher (still miss Politically Incorrect), and the occasional show on MSNBC.......basically news/current events oriented.....but no so much "hard news." I like to watch the occasional movie too....as long as I haven't seen it 100 times already....or not recently anyway! On top of that, I like to watch "adult oriented" animated programs like King of the Hill, The Simpsons, South Park, and Futurama! Used to watch ****** Guy......but there are only so many bodily waste, **********, homosexual, matricidal ****** jokes a man can take before it gets old.....ha ha ha! On top of that, I like to watch the occasional doccumentary and some old "Britcoms" from the BBC. I guess you could say that, much like my tastes in music, my tastes in television shows is quite eclectic! I can't just watch anything.....but my tastes are various! Just like sports, if the Steelers, Penguins, Pirates, or Pitt Panthers are on, I'll watch.....but not just any old game just to watch sports.
What I really DISLIKE is much that has polluted our airwaves recently....namely so-called "reality tv." I mean come on, aren't we being dumbed enough than being spoon fed garbage programs as if they are reality? The shows are essentially scripted and edited so much, that the only reality is that they don't use professional actors. Not to mention all of the unskilled people who are made "famous" simply for being "famous!" Some of the shows on Tru Tv (used to be Court Tv) in primetime are so BAD that only a moron would believe that it is reality. Anyone knows that when you bring cameras into the picture.......reality goes out the window (aside from maybe Candid Camera)! I've flipped ****** C-Span and C-Span 2 enough to see someone giving a most passionate speech to a virtually empty chamber in the middle of the night (during open speech time....or whatever it is called). Would he have been as passionate at 2 am if the camera wasn't there? The only reality in reality tv is that it is REALLY FAKE!
I also don't care for anything on the Fox News Channel, where you have "neo-cons for pay" (when money is involved.....do we really know where anyone stands?) firing up the baser instincts that reside in a certain part of our population. I respect people who have honest differences with my opinions/positions and can back them up.......but much of what is aired on Faux News is really what I would call "pornography," and it has the potential to do far more damage if the wrong person's "buttons are pushed!"
I guess to sum it up, my tastes are eclectic (music too) when it comes to television.......and I am working through that addiction.....but it isn't going as good as my caffeine addiction (haven't had any of that since 10/27)! I figure when I am cleared to hit the gym regularly, then I get back to work, my television viewing will start to go down.
