Television - 20 November 2007

I just read this article and it made me wonder:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/18/magazine/18wwln-medium-t.html

I have to admit that when I was growing up, I didn't watch much "Sesame Street", but I'm kind of bothered by some of the changes that have taken place on the show. The author of the article mentions the depression of Oscar the Grouch. I can't help but think that getting rid of a depressed character (Oscar) and replacing it with a euphoric one (Elmo) sends the wrong message to kids. If anything, it sends the message that your emotions are acceptable only as long as they don't bring other people down and that you shouldn't share your pain. Not only that, but while I'm well aware of the fact there is a major obesity problem here in the US, it's ridiculous to get rid of or to change the diet of Cookie Monster. (He IS called Cookie Monster for a reason, you know!) I doubt that there are any Gen Xers out there who will say that their lives were damaged by early episodes of

I was just reading the article about Sesame Street being for adults. I always watched Sesame Street and I never thought of it in the way it was being perceived. Are people reading way too much into this and looking for something to be wrong, or are those people right?

..that we ALL love to watch/hate stay in at least to the end...

why do the bores always win..its reality TV ffs...not bore the pants off me get me out of here..!!

If not for Marc.. Cerys would bore the pants of me like Anna and Gemma are doing at the moment ... J is boring too.. but at least he's up for it...

can we keep Rod the MCP, Janice the Loon, Marc the stargazer, loopy Lynne and John the rapping Chef in..? c'mon let JOHN phone home... not go home...

I bet one of them goes first... the swines!!

ps.. I don't wanna hear all that nonsense about personalities being drowned out by the bigger ones either... that was said in BB this year... and once the big ones got voted out ... we just realised that the others had none

I know Marcs got a girlfriend, but... does she not know that..?

Surely she can't be too stupid to ask... I think that someone is playing a bit of a game... and i'm not sure which one of them it is...

but ..I bet his girlfriend WILL be there when he comes out... not seen her speak.. but from what I read... I don't think she minds the attention... or the Hotel facilities.. or the media ... and I doubt she's missing the weather here..!!!

35 years ago / In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team

I saw an old show last night and it was definitely a kinder and gentler House.

I am ready to quit the new shows, since they ae just mean and uninteresting.
