Why am I forced to watch iCarly, and Wizards of Waverly Place, and Good Luck Charlie? Why is is okay to portray kids as being smarter than the adults. Every adult character on those shows are morons. Why are we okay with that?
Are teens having as much sex as the characters are on The Secret Life of the American Teenager? That show is like soft porn for high school students. I'm not a prude by any means, but my word.
Reality shows blow. I hate American Idol, America's Got Talent (although I will watch it now that Stern is a judge), Dancing With the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, The Voice, and so on, and so on, and so on. I despise all reality shows....except for Extreme Couponing and Dance Moms. Yeah, you caught me. Those are my secret vice.
Why aren't there any family shows on from 8-9 pm that my entire family can enjoy together? What happened to Uncle Jesse, Urkel, The Seavers, Kevin and Winnie, and the Keatons? Where is John Boy? How about Cousin Larry? Remember when the Huxtables would put on a show for their grandparents anniversary? Alf and Willie?
You're right. It is sad that we consider Good Luck Charlie an "OK" family show. I often think about the "good ol' days" as I scurry to turn whatever nonsense comes on at 8 pm now so Zoe can't see it. I grew up with 20 channels and never had to search far to find something to watch. We have somewhere upward of 500 now and I often turn it off because there is nothing on...and Bruce thought it was bad with 57...
