OMA! Blonde Hoochie Momma, you rule so much! I love how you speak your mind and it's all truth, and your shameless! I agree with you all the way. I used to be into the old crap, but if you look at my top 15, it's all new shows. I don't like old shows anymore, I don't know why. Oh, here are some reasons!

~Most humor is corny
~Bad reception!
~Some of the clothes and styles are way outta wack

Ok from what i said i didnt mean that u cant watch old shows, i watch em sometimes too, i was just sayin that i dont understand why every1s posting 7375846 times on a board about a show thats OVER WITH. There should be more to talk about on boards for new shows, seriously

Notorious · 09-17-2002, 10:46 PM

I think old shows appeal to young kids, cuz most are more immature like: Gilligan's Island, The Beverly Hillbillies. I think I've just grown out of most old shows I used to like. That's my opinion.

JT · 09-18-2002, 07:46 PM

Um, slut, I like my shows because I like them. I'd rather have a 15 minute clip of Lucy than a 40 hour marathon of Friends. I'd rather die watching "Temperatures Rising" than live watching "Frasier." (well, I know that I'm never gonna see Temperature's Rising, so I don't have to worry about anything, lol). The older shows have more posts because of the nostalgic of it all. "where are they now?" "Hey I grew up with this show!" "How about a round of trivia?" "When can this geton TVLand?" I mean, you can watch old shows two times a day, but new shows once a week (well, the non-syndie ones). With old shows, you are constantly learning new information, but with new shows, you aren't surprised.

I disagree with that- yes, older shows are more kid-friendly but can you ever outgrow quality?
The old shows show more values and less sleeze, more plain old slapstick and less vulgar jokes.
Just my thoughts....

Well!
I never!

Actually, I was following the instructions of a poster who posted priorly to myself. If you had the feeling that my comment was asinine, I do understand that. You have a pure apology for the slut thing, Blonde Hoochie Mother. But that doesn't change my views on this topic of conversation. Oh, and yes, I do know what each word I used meant.

I think everyone's entitled to their opinions.....but I dont see what's the obsession with old shows either. I think all the people should get mad, she did say that she's not trying to fight, and that she doesn't care if you take it the wrong way, that it's you, or something. I love Sex and the City and Friends and the Real World.......but if someone's vibe is the Facts of Life, Beverly Hillbillies, or I Love Lucy, then that's just wat they like....

MBFTfan · 09-18-2002, 09:18 PM

Here is my reasoning: Newer shows come up more in general conversation, especially with young people, because you can assume they have heard of "Friends" or "Will and Grace" but you can't assume they've heard of "Bewitched" or "I Love Lucy." Many of these old shows are no longer on the air, even in syndication and this is one of the few places to keep them alive and actively discuss them. Newer shows, on the other hand, don't need this because they are still on and fresh in peoples' minds. I think fans of older shows are more devoted as well because many have known the show since its original run, and for younger people, its a way of learning about the past through pop culture and a feeling of nostalgia.

Its nice to come to these boards and realize that you are not the only fan left of a TV show from 30 years ago. Still, I agree that more people should post on the boards for the new shows, and those of you who are already active there, keep it up.

I personally prefer old shows in general, but there are many new shows that I love as well. I think people who refuse to watch a show because of the time period in which it was made need to open up their minds a little bit. Whether a show was made in 1962 or 2002, it should be given a fair chance, because like good literature and good music, a truly good TV show transcends all eras and generations.

WHAT poster posted WHAT instructions to u? And if u knew what a slut means then dont call ppl sluts if they ask a dang question, its not like an insulting name like "loser" and "moron"

Blair85 · 09-18-2002, 11:36 PM

I don't care what shows people watch, old or new, but I think that it's time for people to get out of the past. I think there's nothing wrong with watching old shows & listening to older music, but I don't care much for the clothes that are in style now. I don't know what u all are wearing, but a lot of people at my school to me look like hippies. I wish my mom would've kept her hippie clothes. AND, where the hell is my damn flying car!???!! I thought we were supposed to have those by 2002!

YOU may know what "slut" means, but evidently you don't know how to spell prostitute. I think YOU'RE the one who needs to check out dictionary.com

If you're going to insult someone, at least spell it right!!!!

Don't preach what you can't follow.

Oh, and to stay on topic, I agree with everyone else about the old shows. They have better quality and are more fun to talk about. I'm getting so sick of hearing about Rachel and her baby on Friends.
