No need to act superior. Has nothing to do with acting superior... as I've said I never heard of those shows. And truth is I watch very little TV these days... I can flip through a hundred cable channels and find nothing I'm interested in watching... other than the news I'll sometimes watch Judge Judy and a couple others of that ilk. I used to be a big boxing fan but there aren't any worthwhile boxers anymore, and without Howard Coswswel boxing will never be the same again. I'll sometimes watch NatGeo but lately I find they ruin it with too much chatter. And just about every day I'll tune in to The Weather Channel. During periods of warm weather I have too much to do outdoors to watch TV shows. Right now it's too hot to work outdoors, but I did spend two half days removing the turkey wire fences from around my two Dawn Redwood trees, they are tall enough to be safe from hungry deer... was damn hot out and within five minutes I was soaking. The weeds grew inside the fence and into the fance so thickly that I needed to use the tractor and tow web/strap to yank the fencing loose, going all around bit by bit I had to work a small amount loose at a time. There were even several tree seedlings I had to dig out, can't just lop them off at ground level or they'll present a flat tire risk. After finishing on the second day I earned two cold brewskies... was 88.5ºF out there and humid. Today I'm staying in with the A/C, it's 93ºF out there now but a little less humid, only 65%. I've been checking the outside cat's water bowls and topping them off. In a couple hours I'll drive into town and do some grocery shopping and check the PO Box... that section is open 24/7 but no one is there today for any services, |

The attraction for the production company is that it's a cheap way to churn out material that they can sell. The attraction for the audience is that they want what they see on the screen to be real life. It's not because real life doesn't often make for a compelling, sell-able, product. |

I love Antiques Roadshow. Everyone thinks they have something worth a lot of money. Many times not. But sometimes... a find! It's not about buying and selling or a pawn shop environment. It's a fun venue for fun objects and actual appraisals. And there are many different categories in every episode. ![]() Jill |

I didn't follow Pawn Stars characters closely enough know anything about any of that. Wow. I do prefer the Antiques Roadshow. Where no one is a specific showman, not even the guy who introduces the show (Mark Walburg?) and shows us a few historical things in whatever town they're set up in. It's not a "reality show". There is a big difference. Even the old Pawn Stars have to call in "experts" sometimes. Heh. The people who get on the Antiques Roadshow are people who are hoping to get appraisals for things they think are either valuable family heirlooms or something they picked up at a yard sale. It's fun! PBS, where I live it's on Monday at 8PM. ![]() Jill |

I liked seeing the items even if I didn't believe someone just happened to walk in with them, it's a TV show. But they were adding more and more fake drama that just got to be too much. I can say the same about a lot of those shows, I know they're not reality but there's something I find amusing until they start going overboard. nancy |

I watched Swamp People and found in interesting how the hunting was done, but after you see it a few times, how many ways can you catch an alligator and make it interesting. I do still watch Josh Gates. He does show many different locations around the world. Even better when Erin Ryder is with him. (she's hot!) You get to see some of the customs of the country as well as specific locations. I think he is kind of a neat guy too, with a sense of humor. |

Country some days , rock some days , and sometimes I fire up the Windoze Media Player and punch the "play all" button . Takes a while to cue up over 12,000 songs . And even longer to play them all .

These days all TV is totally useless. With all the streaming crap TV will soon become obsolete. I don't go to the movies anymore either, the last time was to see Sofie's Choice and I didn't think it had any redeeming value nor was it entertaining, it was strictly political... I'd much rather watch The Cisco Kid reruns... Hey Cisco!, Hey Poncho! My all time favorite was The Magic Cottage, I had a huge crush on Pat Meikle. |

Naturally young breasts are better, firmer/plumper.... young teen agers have the best breasts... but now all I can do is reminisce, odds are I'll never suckle at a fifteen year old's bosom again but at least I have fond memories. There's nothing negative about living in the past, those young years were the best times of everyone's life. I really miss being a 20 year old destroyer man. And at twenty years old I could enjoy deflowering 3-4 maidens in one night... one was a young Nun in the Vatican on Easter Sunday, right next to the Three Coins in the Fountain. Was so jammed with people no one could notice. I was very gentle and she thanked me profusely in Spanish, I never did get her name but I'm hoping that beauty quit the church and had a good pregnancy. Truth is she chose me, she said I was the strongest looking man she had ever seen. Fact is navy cook is the most physically demanding job, at that time I was stronger than the Hulk. I'm still a lot stronger than men my age. I bet I can still traverse a ladder up three decks in rough seas with a hundred pound crate of spuds. No matter how bad the weather I still had to feed the crew and I always did.... most were unable to eat... pucking uncontrollably. Those were the mornings I cooked the sausage and bacon extra greasy. I don't know why but I never got seasick. |

Every hangnail jeapordizes the entire family's wellbeing. Didn't get that last bear or buck for the freezer? Take some of the money you're getting to be on the show and buy some damned meat.

However I do agree, the one place I find that is the car dealership when I take the car twice a year to have snows put on or removed. Not too bad if someone has switched it over to a new channel, but sports drives me crazy. Thankfully haven't come across a doctor or dentist with tv in the waiting room. |
