RedSkysays...Gold.
Having lived in the US for somewhere in the order of 3/4 of a year I can definitely relate to the prevent-your-impending-death medication, I would have been only 9 or 10 back then but I still have inexplicable flashbacks to them

Drachen_Jagersays...As a Canadian I've always found US television standards bizarre to say the least.
Last night I watched Criminal Minds, twice they showed graphic scenes of bare-handed strangulation.
And yet, it's illegal to show breasts on American TV. Because THAT will corrupt people. Yeah... Better they go off on a killing spree than have some sex? Weird society.
ulysses1904says...I'm a 51 year old American and I despise television. I have noticed that people don't get any smarter, there is a never-ending audience for all this stupidity. One example that comes to mind is Oprah Winfrey (I have never seen a single show but have heard plenty about her) being suckered in by that guy that wrote "A Million Little Pieces". She said she was up all night, reading his riveting story about drug abuse. And all her fans bought into it and made him rich. Then it turns out to be largely fiction. Oprah is so worldly and wise, so what could possibly be so riveting about yet another drug abuse tale? Turn on VH1, every child star, rock star, TV star, porn star has a similar story, so what. It all exemplifies just how stupid you have to be to watch TV and follow pop culture. The phrase "reality show" sums up everything contemptible about American TV. I half expect to find an old Mad Magazine in a drawer, with a spoof back in the 70s saying television of the future will be so bad that they will resort to ratings spectacles of putting former child stars in a boxing ring with each other.
I could go on but you get the point. I would have to be held hostage before I would watch The View, Dancing with the stars, American Idol, The Apprentice, Friends, Wheel of Fortune, America's Most Wanted, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
Thanks for letting me rant.
