TV LAND is not wholesome anymore !! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVLAND network is supposed to be about family viewing, like its sister network Nick@Nite. However lately they have gotten really bad. First with their Farrah Fawcette reality show- now they are going to air the Top 10 Gay Icons in TV History. As a Christian, I think that homosexuality is wrong and should not be shown on an otherwise family network. They can put that smut some place else !

Where do you get the belief that TVLand is considered just family viewing?

It's a network that runs "CLASSIC" television shows - not just family shows in particular.

And gays have been portrayed in classic shows for years so get over it already.

You don't have to tune in when they show particular shows - no one is forcing you - tune in ABC Family when they're airing that's all.

They can put that homosexuality some place else? How about everywhere you go in public, because some people are gay and you will have to deal with it.

Or just shut youself in and watch TV.... but not TVLand, oh no!!!!

I could have told you that this would happen, Meade. Have anti-PC views here and you get flamed.

Because TV Land recognizes homosexual characters you think that gives people the right to object to deceny- because they are homosexual?
Homosexuals can't be decent people? OH boy.

I am not particularly fond of rednecks and idiotic southern characters, so I object to the common decency of common sense that is betrayed by showing shows like Andy Griffith.

Are you for real?

ANNND I just looked at your profile-- no kidding you like Andy Griffith.
South lost the war you know.

This is why I hate Christians. They think they know everything and have every right to judge people. You don't like what is on telelvision then play a tape or turn the tv off. It's not that hard.

Correction: These people are not Christian. Christ did not teach us to hate others or judge them needlessly. I was born a Christian and feel EVERYONE has a right to live their life in peace. These people are not hurting you so keep your FUNDAMENTALIST views to yourselves.

Fundamentalism in ANY religion is extreme - just like the fundamentalist Muslims America is fighting.

I've noticed this trend since 9/11. The U.S. was hit by fundamentalist Muslims, so now the fundamentalist Christians (what an oxymoron) are rising up and trying to shove their bible-thumping views down everyone's throat.

You call it "Political Correctness" - I call your views nothing but bigotry and small-mindedness.

I'm not big on "PC" but I am on loving my fellow man and not judging them as they don't judge me.

He who is without sin may cast the first stone. I guess that makes you absolutely perfect.

This is not the place for a political debate. All I'll say is people should be entitled to their opinion and not be attacked for it.

what is it with the state of VA? it's the one place where people seem to take pride in being homophobic

Every Christian I have ever met says gays and lesbians are going to burn in hell, that they are sinning. God created these people, so why would he want them to burn in hell when they are not hurting anyone? I am sorry if I offended you.

yes, what I also take offense to is people using Christianity as a scapegoat to why they're homophobic. In that case. Why is Tammy Faye a gay rights activist? Why do Dolly Parton and Amy Grant champion gay causes? Religion is not an excuse because there are some Christians who aren't that narrowminded.

I am tired of a few neo-Christians trying to ruin it for the rest of us. I know a lot of heterosexuals who hate organized religion thanks to these people. I have heterosexual male friends who have decided to raise their kids with the belief that organized religion is the root of all evil. Wanna know why? people they won't shut the hell up about homosexuality and other things, because they hide behind their bible when the truth is, they're just uncomfortable with the idea of two men or two women and think it's easier to justify disliking it because of one passage, instead of just living and let live.

You know, I'm gonna watch the special.... Stick to watching Highway To Heaven.
