Hello everyone of you Wonderful beings -

I have not watched television in a very long time. I have noticed my lack of

watching the tube has brought me in a state of deeper contemplation of other

things that are more important to me. I remember those days where I'd get

engrossed with a television drama, whether it was a cop show, comedy show, and

the news. Sometimes it seemed such drama would spill into my day. I became

uninterested in television when I kept seeing how some those " comedy " shows were

funny at the expense of someone or someones innocent experience and I began not

finding them funny anymore. Don't give me wrong 3rd Rock from the Sun was

pretty funny! Poor Dick, he always tried so hard! What ever happened to the

Carol Burnett Show and her Gone with the Wind Skit? Yes, I am old, not quite

weathered but old!

Many times as I watched serious drama I was left empty, like the show not only

brought in the drama but took with it something too, a piece of my natural inner

joy.

I see why has it as part of the Safeties and I had no problem going

along with that. I find I have more control in reading the newspaper, if I want

to find out what's news in this Earth, there's no I will tell you what I want to

tell you which I am witholding till you watch what we are trying to sell

you....to much drama. It used to irk me, " hey! don't go, I want to know now!

Hell with that! I realized there's no hurry to really know, and sometimes what

the papers have to say, well, I rather read Peanuts!

 

Have a wonderful sleep, and a terrific day tomorrow! Loads of undramatic

Love,

Becky

Hi Becky,

 

I hardly watch telly anyway and when my aunt ask me to watch the news

of a disaster that happened in another city or country, I would rather

not watch it. I stopped reading the newspaper too - like the Red Eye

that is being given out at the train station every morning on my way

to school. The guy who gives it out already knows when he sees me not

to give me one. LOL.

 

I noticed that I have drifted apart from my old group of friends. I am

meeting more or reconnecting with like minded friends.

Hi Becky -

 

I too, am burned out on the tube. I used to be a " Days of Our

Lives " addict and watched nighttime sitcoms as well. Something

happened, I don't know what . . . . I just realized how stupid it is

to spend all that time in front of the tube. Now I just

occaisionally turn it on to the news because we have funky weather /

tornadoes in Oklahoma. Otherwise, it stays off.

 

 

Much Love,

 

Melissa

All of you sound like me! The older I get the less I even WANT to

watch the " Boob-tube " (that's boob as in dumbie not the other thing,

female body part...LOL). I think one day as I sat watching an hour of

absolutely senseless rubbish I sort of saw myself as if I were

another person looking at me and I was pretty disgusted with what I

saw. Yes, a waste of precious time and brain cells. I watch the news

with my husband (though that is reaching the threshold of disgust as

well) and the occassional kiddie show or movie with my daughter. But

my weakness is the internet now and I'm thinking I need to see myself

outside myself again to get a bit of my life back!!! And there is SO

much out there to do, house-work, errands, service to others, you

know... If TV were a truly educational tool or told the truth once in

a while I might watch it again but...nahhhh, that ain't gonna happen.

 

Hey, Becky, I remember the Carol Burnett show and that " Gone with the

Wind " skit! That was good clean fun. I also remember Red Skelton,

Jackie Gleason and Ed Sullivan...now I'm dating myself! Milton Beryl

was a little before my time, though I saw some reruns. LOL

 

Love, till next time (with a little tug on the ear!)

I have never cared for TV or just never had the time for it. As a kid

about the only show I ever watched was American Bandstand. I would

come on every day just as we got home from school. My sister and I

would dance with those people for an hour, eat super and do our

homework and go to bed. I would hear those show you mentioned

Valarie, for my dad watched them all. I was a weird kid. I loved

doing school homework and would help my brothers and sisters with

theirs, as well as doing mine. LOL! A lot of times I did theirs for

them so they could go watch TV. I guess that was not a good thing,

for them anyways. Once I got married and had my kids, I never had any

time for TV then either. I just never got into it much, except to

watch an occssional movie once in a while. Even then I would have to

be doing something else while watching, like sewing or crocheting.

Ahhhh My Little Sister!

 

I too have fled from the TV and video's. My first choice is the Comics

section of the paper everyday...religiously! A good laugh before the rest of

the bad news in the paper...kind of like a " spoon full of sugar makes the

medicine go downnnn, medicine go down, medicine go down. Everyone join

in... " Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine....or maybe just a spoon full

of love makes the world go round, the world go round! Okay...I'll stop singing!

 

Love you all!

Okay I admit...I LOVE Smallville...the Superboy story...Clark always comes to

the rescue and Lana always bangs her head. She must have so many scars!!! I

watch every week...pretty much the only thing I watch. Because I always know

there will be a happy ending with good morals applied. I wonder if Clark has

the K?!?!?! No not Kyptonite!!

 

Love

 

Scott
