What are your favorite television shows?

“Somebody has to kill the babysitter.” The Cable
Guy (1996)

The idiot box, the boob tube… I am a man of words, literature,
the arts; I have long since lost any erudite learnings that
could be applied towards the sciences, though I value such
advancements, I consider philosophy, history etc. Sometimes
I dare to think of myself as a student of Le Marquis de
Sade only not nearly as mad; the concept of love along
with or opposed to human sexuality is fascinating, so is
the exploration of nature, the universe, and everything
it contains, my current leanings being towards the study
of self, my own ambiguity, and the most absorbing, the idea
of BDSM especially Sadism.

With this all being said “I Want My MTV”…
literally; I have yet to turn my back on the musicians of
the current age, though I have a theory. I know of some such
as The Rembrandts, Phantom Planet, Daniel
Powter, among others who allowed their tunes to become
television themes and then lo and behold the downslide
of their careers. Witnessing such results, would it be
terribly inconvenient for someone for instance Justin
Bieber or Taylor Swift, to let one of their
songs be made into a television melody… anyway I digress.
Some music… when MTV actually plays any speaks to me

“I'm a of the movies Fish” Deep Impact


I consider my viewership fairly well rounded, sci-fi,
sitcoms, some documentaries to name a few; I even watch
reality programs to be sure, as of late “Are You The
One” and the “WWE” though I have yet
to purchase the WWE Network. When it comes to the classics,
I speak mainly of “The Twilight Zone” or 1957’s
“Abandon Ship”; TV-14, TV-MA, LSV in a show
might have a chance, though I have watched a lot less, thank
you oh so very much World Wrestling Entertainment.


I need stories, be they true or false but between truth and
legend I prefer legend; I suppose to me the world is exactly
what it is and perhaps I need time to forget, which in all
honesty explains the rise of Reality TV. Speaking of which,
the study of the human condition… most concern themselves
with celebrities and I can claim to be no different except
in regards to who they might be, a person mentions a certain
event or name and I suppose it is different for everybody
what we give notice to

“Are we living in a land Where sex and horror are the new Gods?” Two Tribes
~ Frankie Goes To Hollywood

As for the shows I dislike, what exactly is the criteria…
with the assault on the human psyche or at least its continual
dumbing down, I’m pleased to say I don’t watch nay can’t
watch everything. One thing I find quite easy to avoid is
most sports with the exceptions of professional wrestling,
the Super Bowl, and the Olympics.

I currently reside in Alabama, my younger sister went to
Alabama and I had a cousin who went to Auburn and I could care
less about football. Same goes for basketball, baseball,
hockey, golf, and so many other competitive pursuits and
while I have no problem with games and the like, my inquisitive
nature fails to see any knowledge gleamed from such.

“A plague o' both your houses!” William Shakespeare


Weirdly enough I will watch sport movies, seen the first
five “Rocky” films, “Varsity Blues”
but then again there are stories there, much like wrestling
and the Olympics, and the Super Bowl is as if having all the
spoilers to football. If you want to know a secret, while
I think most if not all religion is detrimental to society,
I quite enjoy Christian cinema, give me a pretty girl, the
slightest idea of sex, and a story… “Maggie’s
Passage”, “Healed By Grace”, In
The Blink of An Eye”.

Daystar was once a staple of my Saturdays.

Last but not least would be anime, for the most part Japanese
anime and I think I have referenced it often enough Hentai.
To this day I still make it a habit to watch Charlie Brown
and I keep up with The Simpsons to a point. “Rahxephon”
has to be an all-time favorite of mine, with “Blue
Gender” and “Cowboy Bebop”

So many shows yet to name, ignorance can be bliss
