I very, very seldom do. I prefer to blow things up on the X-box, tyvm.

I think that's too simplistic. Kind of like saying "don't read books" because of the crap sold at airport newsstands. Or don't look at art because of Thomas Kincaid. Or don't listen to music because Hansen was successful.

There is a lot of quality entertainment and art on TV. In fact, ignoring the glut of reality I'd say we're in something of a golden age for scripted dramas (and the coma sitcoms have fallen into has prompted interesting experimentation).

Ya, they're hoping USA, SciFi or FX picks it up. I gave up hope a while ago though.

Of course! Being from Oregon, I think it's required;) Actually it reminds Gary of stories his father told him when he was a logger. I still know a couple people who do that for a living.

I hate most reality shows. The only one I liked was "On The Lot".

We had our own reality show?:D

I think it's blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain that being on a show like that isn't a "being rewarded". It's "getting exactly what you deserve". As for getting paid, most of them aren't paid. Even if they are, the awful psyche repercussions from being on one of these insane shows more than make up for it.

Perhaps instead of prisons, we could make "TV shows" that involve putting a bunch of insane people in a house together and filming them. That way they stay out of our hair voluntarily. It even works for non-criminals who are just stupid, full of sh1t and annoying. I'd rather they were in some obscene mansion tearing each other's hair out than serving me fast food.

If the TV shows can be closed circuit TV that doesn't require actual air time. Or maybe there should be a Reality TV station. No more reality on network television.

I wonder what televising life in the LoT commune would be like?
:D

I don"t know, but if we pitch it right maybe someone will bankroll the whole thing for us
