Nothing on T.V

Luda34 · 06-18-2011, 12:44 PM

I just left work and it HOT a@# hell outside so I come home took a shower and was going to just chill out the rest of the day. I turn on the T.V and there nothing on but the damn U.S Open, Baseball and race car driving this is some BULL I hate this time of the year. One good thing is there is peace a quite in the house my wife left me today and took most of the stuff but the quite sound in the house is priceless.

I have a crawfish and crabs boil to go to later on but I don't know if I'm going it to hot out outside.

sounds like you need to find yourself a bottle of whatever alcohol you prefer and just forget about life for a little while...

foreverfan · 06-18-2011, 03:49 PM

Shut up and go cut the grass.

Or you can do with I do and get a Beer and a Cigar and sit out by the pool.

congrats on the split, Luda. I get the feeling you're happier.

As for TV, there hasnt been anything on in 15 years. This reality
show crap is 99% garbage. I hate seeing other people's problems
and drama.

The game-shows all look like Thunderdome.

I dont give a crap about CSI. Why do they need one for every city?

Tell me a damn story. What happened to westerns?
Where is John Wayne? Where is Hoss? What's wrong with Matt Dillon?
What happened to MTV? Can we at least see some reruns of Archie?
How bout some Marcia?

God, I hate The Future. Can we go back to '75?

Right on man!

The only reality show I care for is Gene Simmons Family Jewels. I watched American Idol this year for the first time ever, and it was exactly what I thought it was.

I was tooling around Youtube the other day and found the Video for Velvet Revolver's "She Builds Quick Machines" and thought, you know, that this is the kinda stuff MTV used to show...music videos...and it was good, and I smiled and went all the way back to 1984 or something...

This about sums it up I think...

YouTube - ‪Bruce Springsteen - 57 Channels (And Nothin' On)‬&rlm;

only now it's more like 257...

dude, i was thinking the exact thing. I do like Gene Simmons show.

I like looking at two of the Kardashians, but for the love of mankind, why are these ignorant, useless, lost people on television? Exactly what talent did they ever have that merits any stardom? (dont say it, I dont wanna know)

American Idol? why? who cares? whats it for? I'd rather watch an ant farm. stupid!

I accidently saw 30 seconds of Jersey Shore and my IQ dropped 10 points.

I mean seriously-- the world has gone to hell ! Listen to what they call music. My age has zero to do with it. I know garbage when I hear it. (C)rap is was a cute novelty when the Sugarhill gang did it, but I could make it in my station's production room. zero talent involved. I'll make exceptions for Humpty, Ton Loc, etc, because they're comical.

The other kind of music now is some kind of undanceable disco, where some whiny dude steals Peter Frampton's talk box and yodels Arab style over a weak beat and swishing effects. They all sound exactly alike, and they all completely suck.

Lady Gaga is completely useless, if you already have access to porn and a halloween costume. Oh thats right, her purpose is to defile children's minds. Well isnt Larry Flynt still alive? At least he has cartoons.

And everything that I need has already been invented. Stop inventing new crap. I dont need my phone to live my life for me. If you notice, they're really not inventing anything useful, like a device that tells you where all the cops are-- no they're just making more junk to sell you that only 16 year olds have time to learn to operate.

get out of my yard, while I pull my socks up. The Future SUCKS.

I'm Mikey and I just dont know anymore.

LMAO. I watched the Grammy awards this year (first time in a very long time), completely ready to vomit, and I came close a couple times thanks to Gaga and Beiber, but I wanted to see Mick and I wanted to see Bob...and I was just curious to see what hell had overtaken the only art I truly appreciate.

The truth is, Gaga ain't nothing more or less than this generation's Madonna. Beiber will be dead or in rehab soon (i don't wish bad stuff on the kid, but please make him go away) - just like Leif Garret. There IS quality in some of the music being made today. It's no more or no less difficult to find now than it has ever been, but you have to listen for it.

Old people like us sit back and say, "eh, today's music just ain't music", but that's what our grandparents said about the stuff WE listened to.

My grandpa can't discern Led Zeppelin as 'music'. He just...can't. I mean, he accepts George Strait because I MADE him go with me to see him. he accepts Strait, but it comes through like this: "Yeah, son. He's good. At least he's better than most of that other crap, but he's no Marty Robbins." LMAO

There IS good stuff out there SM, and there's no less crap than there ever was too. Seek and you shall find my friend, but don't go looking for it on MTV. We got kids man. We gotta stay hip so's we can relate.

Or...

You can watch The Voice. It's a pretty good show.

Either way, hope everything turns out good for you. I know option 1 will.

Danno · 06-22-2011, 08:36 PM

What good music is there today? I hate the hard crap they play on agressive rock channels, its cookie cutter angst...b-o-r-i-n-g!!!!!!!

The grunge era was my last hope for decent music and it lasted less than a decade.

As far as TV, I agree there's not much on. Some sitcoms are OK (BigBang especially).

I finally watched the 1st episode of LOST a few months ago. It was the best TV show I have ever seen in my entire life. I watched all 6 seasons on Netflix in about 2 months.

If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. If you saw it and didn't love it, then you're probably a Lady GaGa fan and cool left you years ago.

There has to be some talented shows/music out there somewhere, huh?
