What passes as entertainment now days reveals a lot about the current status of the general American population's mental capacities (or lack thereof).
What is wrong with discovery channel??

I salute you for even suffering through one episode. The commercials alone make me feel dumber :screwy:

Next you guys are going to tell me wrestling is fake also,,,,,,,lol. I have to agree though modern day TV is nothing like it use to be. I use to love Little House, The Waltons, and Sanford and Son, now those were the days.
That's true, there would be an uproar if it was on mainstream TV.
I used to watch "All in the Family" on TV Land but I don't think they even play it anymore. Coincidence?

That it does, unfortuneatley all the tards are inside watching fat kids mumble and need subtitles instead of being outside f-in their sister while blowing themselves up cooking meth, making sparkler bombs, or just being low IQ people.
Natural selection is failing because TV is now occupying those peoples 1.09 brain cells.
That is why they do not call it "The Learning Channel" anymore.
Product placement. Location Location Location Location Location. Its getting pretty blatant these days. Places selling 50 shades of grey then putting a Duracell battery stand next to the books......
I was in Wal Mart the other day (talk about the dumbing of society) and they had their bike display rack which underneath it was stocked with first aid kits. I mean, you gotta hand it to them, Walmart does have good product placement. Chocolate next to tampons, why not, money talks.
Haha my high school shop teacher was a WWF wrestler for a couple years. He was paid to loose generally, but in real life was actually a world class wrestler with many titles to his name. He was a little off, which I think you would have to be to be in WWF, but at times you could pick out the down to earth soucie and he had some interesting stories to tell. There was so much that happened behind the scenes back in those days, its pretty neat listening to him. He got out of it because he didn't care for the lifestyle and wanted to settle down a bit. It probably was a good thing as many of his close friends who stayed in WWF have passed away by now. He would always deny that it was fake. In reality its not necessarily fake, its just a choreographed performance, however there were some backstage conflicts between some of them and thus some of the punches were real, the rule was if you got hit legitimatley, you were allowed to hit back. It is funny to see some of the "misses" during their acting, but WWF really is an interestingly successful entrepreneurship.

Justified (one of my all time favorites)
Hell on Wheels (one of the best modern westerns out there)
Suits
Breaking Bad
Low Winter Sun (newest addition to AMC)
Hannibal (Pretty twisted as you can imagine but really well made show)
Parks and Recreation (first season is slow but the rest are great, ron swanson is the man)

I also liked VIKINGS on HISTORY channel. You can tell it isn't completely factual, but it is ALOT better than 99% of the crap out there now.
Yeah Vikings was good. I watched that series. I also think the original Hatfield and McCoy story series they did was good. But they went to far with the modern drama filled bs series.

I watch sitcoms almost exclusively... "The Big Bang Theory", "Rules of Engagement", "Parks and Recreation", "How I Met Your Mother", "Modern Family" and "Two Broke Girls". I also really like "Justified" and "Hell on Wheels".
I DVR everything and watch them when I have time.

Haven't seen the newer stuff, but always liked it with the original cast back in the day.
Rules of engagement is great, I forgot that one in my list. I like Pat Warburton but I always think of him as Duramax when i see him haha.

Good thing you just started, theres 3 season to watch and the 4th comes out this fall. We started watching it right away and it sucks waiting for the next season. That show always leaves you on edge. I like it because they don't rely on shootouts, explosions, car chases and other drama to make the show, the white collar style crime actually makes you think and is impressive to me. Neal is very witty too, my wife says he's nice to look at, I remind her that ironically in real life he is gay. Just like Neil Patrick Harris playing the womanizer in HIMYM yet bein gay in real life as well. Maybe thats why they are so good at playing their parts, I don't know but I think both are great actors.
