"Talk Back to Your TV", Part 1
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
These are letters taken from the "Talk Back to Your TV" column from the
|
|
TV Dial (distributed with the Sunday Rocky Mountain News). I've never
|
|
seen a bigger group of whiny idiots anywhere else, but what can you expect
|
|
from couch potatoes? Judge for yourself:

"Networks bomb on history test"
|
|
|
|
Editor: I don't know if I will ever watch ABC, NBC, or CBS national news
|
|
again. At every turn, we see the world news trying to remake U.S. history and
|
|
it's getting to be nauseating. War is tragic, but reporting was severly
|
|
one-sided on the atomic bombing of Japan -- diminishing the supreme
|
|
sacrifice of American lives in World War II! It seems there was a lapse of
|
|
memory. Japan *started* the war with the U.S. by bombing Pearl Harbor!
|
|
The atomic bomb *ended* the war, but it didn't happen soon enough to
|
|
bring my brother home. If Japan had the atomic bomb first, just what kind
|
|
of mercy would they have shown the USA?

"Believe it! 'Christy' is history" [I'm beginning to see a trend here]
|
|
|
|
Editor: I can't believe it; how rude! _Christy_ is canceled? That is
|
|
absolutely the best show I have ever seen! There just aren't those kind of
|
|
television shows out there anymore. In a world of _NYPD Blue_, _Roseanne_,
|
|
and all that other trash, can't we have *something* good?

"Good news for fans of 'Sliders'"
|
|
|
|
Editor: I just love the show _Sliders_. Please tell me if it will be
|
|
back on this fall.
|
|
Also, I have to agree with Ken Bates of Denver. There is no doubt that
|
|
_The Riki Lake Show_ is the worst talk show on TV [no, that would be
|
|
_Carnie_. Ugh.]. She is too sarcastic toward her panel members and she does
|
|
have the personality of a rock. Personally, I think [who gives a shit what
|
|
you think, J. Novak of Denver? Next!]

"Mad about 'Earth 2'? Write NBC"
|
|
|
|
Editor: For the first time in years, I found a TV show worth watching.
|
|
In fact, I scheduled my Sundays around it [and you admit it? Get a life,
|
|
pal]. I am referring to NBC's _Earth 2_. I am but one of many who are angry
|
|
at NBC's decision to cancel it. Would you please print information where
|
|
[sic] I should write to express my anger? [you should post on alt.whine for
|
|
the best results] One letter probably won't make much difference but then,
|
|
who knows? They might get more than one letter.

"Shame on '7' [sic -- why the fuck is this in quotes?] for dropping show"
|
|
|
|
Editor: I am writing to express my anger toward KMGH-Channel 7 for
|
|
replacing _The Price is Right_ with _American Journal_. Who needs more sex,
|
|
cheating and lying with another soap opera and more celebrity gossip? [I
|
|
do] You can find that on all the other channels? [sic]
|
|
_The Price is Right_ was the last daytime game show on television. The
|
|
show showed people having a good time. [You don't think people having sex
|
|
are "having a good time"?] [...]

"'Trek' move means adios to Channel 2"
|
|
|
|
Editor: Yes, it's another letter from a _Star Trek_ fan. While I
|
|
really enjoy Channel 2-KWGN's coverage of the Rockies games, I am really
|
|
[really?] disappointed with the moving [sic] of _Star Trek: The Next
|
|
Generation_ 10:30 [sic] to make room for _Roseanne_. Besides the fact that
|
|
Roseanne is boring, rude, and unfunny, it was very pleasant to see _ST:TNG_
|
|
after watching the 9 p.m. [sic] news program. Now, I will no longer be
|
|
watching the 9 p.m. [sic] news, _Roseanne_, or _ST:TNG_, as well as most
|
|
shows on KWGN. My TV will be set to Channel 4.

"Sportscasters strike out"
|
|
|
|
Editor: Is it just me, [probably] or are there others out there who
|
|
are fed up with television sportscasters babbling about everything except
|
|
what's going on right under their noses on the field?
|
|
I am referring [blah, blah, blah -- if you really want to read all
|
|
five paragraphs of this moron's whining then send me mail and I'll scan it
|

for you] [...] Not once during Grace's at-bat was any mention made of what
|
|
was happening on the field. [...]

"Bad TV brings back reading and radio"
|
|
|
|
Editor: I thought this would be the best way to "thank" all the TV
|
|
stations at once. With nothing to watch but talk shows and soaps all day, I
|
|
am so sick of TV that mine is turned off most of the day [sic -- I think
|
|
you forgot a sentence or two in there, lady]. I used to watch the talk
|
|
shows (because there was nothing else on) [my favorite excuse from
|
|
couch-potatoes who can't do something constructive with their time] but
|
|
even those are getting old. It's like watching the same thing over and over
|
|
again but with different people [BINGO! How long did it take you to figure
|
|
that out?]. [...]

"Why did 2 give Limbaugh bum's rush?"
|
|
|
|
Editor: [...] Such decisions turn off viewers and viewers can likewise
|
|
tune out [hint: use "turn off" again to drive home your point and be a more
|
|
effective writer] Channel 2 with a mere flip of the dial.

"Recent cancellations ring of censorship"
|
|
|
|
Editor: Welcome to Russia, folks! A couple shows with conservative
|
|
viewpoints were silenced in our viewing area [good fucking riddance]. The
|
|
first was the _CBS Reports_ documentary, _Faith & Politics: The Christian
|
|
Right_, which KMGH-Channel 7 chose to preempt. We and many others
|
|
[actually, just you and Ms. Carder] feel the country has lost its moral
|
|
compass and that is what the show was about.
|
|
Only two days later, we read that KWGN-Channel 2 dropped Rush
|
|
Limbaugh's weeknight show. Aren't we lucky, we get to see Geraldo Rivera's
|
|
noon talk show rerun in that time slot? We and many others stayed up to
|
|
watch Rush, or recorded it daily [fucking sheep].
|
|
Watch out folks, election time nears and the liberal media has to
|
|
silence conservative viewpoints. This is beginning to sound like censorship
|
|
with a capital "C."

"What media is 'liberal,' conservative?' [sic]"
|
|
|
|
Editor: The old saying, "Go to the mouth of the horse," hence my
|
|
letter to you as a member of the media [SIC -- don't drink and write]. I am
|
|
really fed up with the media being referred to as "liberal" if an article
|
|
differs with [sic] the opinion of politicians and talk conservatives. Would
|
|
you kindly tell me which newspapers -- _New York Times_, _Rocky Mountain
|
|
News_, etc., especially _Time_ magazine -- are actually liberal or
|
|
conservative? [...]

"Fed [hide your warez!] up with the new TV season"

that disgust you, you're disgusted by an extra one that doesn't even air?

"Money, not quality, drives TV"
|
|
|
|
Editor: I'm sick of all the people complaining about TV networks
|
|
canceling "good shows" and putting on so-called "trash." If a show doesn't
|
|
sell, it goes. Simple as that. When only a few people watch a program, the
|
|
networks aren't making money [sic]. TV shows are costly to produce and if a
|
|
company doesn't want to pay to advertise during a times lot [sic], they
|
|
won't. TV networks then lose money, which they can't afford to do. Networks
|
|
are just trying to make a larger profit when the [sic] replace shows.

"Replace talk TV with classics"
|
|
|
|
Editor: I was wondering if anyone else feels the way I do ["Does
|
|
anybody here remember Vera Lynn? / Remember how she said that / We would
|
|
meet again / Some sunny day?" But I digress...]. [...] Put something on
|
|
that is good and entertaining and take off all these talk shows!

[Check the letter above yours. *Somebody* must be watching talk shows.

Probably the lazy sheep who complain that "there's nothing else on" and
|
|
watch the talk shows because they need their TV fix.]
