Re: What Don't You Watch On Television?

@Spurt Twilight Zone had many episodes that were either morality tales or used irony. So many great episodes that still have meaning today.

 

@Moonchilde Tales from the Crypt had a lot more horror than sci fi in it and used to show in our area on Fridays or Saturdays around 11 or 11:30PM on what used to be WNEW TV. 

 

Zacherly used to have a radio program in CBS -FM on I believe Sundays. Some of the stuff he played music wise was really off the wall.

 

I did like Friday the 13th -- a Canadian horror program that was on WNEW TV -- it had nothing to do with Jason, it was about cousins who had to get all the enchanted from the devil antiques back that had been sold to people.

@JustJazzmom  The Twilight Zone episodes gave you something to really think about and seemed to touch the audidence's very soul......

Re: What Don't You Watch On Television?

Talk shows like The View, anything Housewives, the Kardashians, any shows where they do makeovers of people, anything political if I can possibly avoid it (my DH listens to Morning Joe and we live in a camper for the summer so I have no choice there) plus politics are all over the news all the time now. I only watch HGTV when I can't find anything else to watch. I find myself tending to spend my tv time watching reruns of shows like Andy Griffith and I love Lucy and Bonanza.

It would be easier to say what I do watch.

What don't I watch?     Most of it.

 

I do try to give the new shows a chance each fall, but for most of them I can't help but wonder who the heck is their target market!      Developmentally retarded teen boys?

 

Boy, do I miss Downton Abbey!    sigh

I'm also happy directv gives us the ability to block channels.  I have my channel selections under my name and when the girls were young, I did the same for them.

 

I block sports, some home shopping channels, TLC, Sci-fi, and the list goes on and on.

Re: What Don't You Watch On Television?

@JustJazzmom, I watched a little of Friday 13th when it was on, but never got into being a regular watcher.

 

IMO Twilight Zone is classic, and I always enjoy the periodic marathons. Still the best for what it was. Sci-fi and spooky in the makes-you-think way.

 

LOL someone posted a link to the action figures - I had one of the ugly nurse from Eye of the Beholder, she was even jointed & posable! She went bye-bye in my move 😟

Re: What Don't You Watch On Television?

I watch no network tv, now that I think of it.  Only if a sports event is on.

 

I don't watch any network news or talk shows.  I have almost stopped watching cable news.

 

I watch "Botched, First 48, and Keeping Up With the Kardashians" as the only "reality" shows.  I think "First 48" is the only credible "reality" show.

 

I watch NOTHING during the day.  At night, I pretty much stick to Investigation Discovery channel.

 

Once in awhile, I come across a movie.
