We use to watch a lot more T.V. having been given a tivo as a gift with a lifetime subscription made it easy to find "good" (on many levels) shows. Over the last year our list has gotten shorter and shorter as tv shows have taken a big nosedive. <br /><br />I too love my clearplay and have been able to see acceptable versions of very good films that would have otherwise been unwatchable.<br /><br />When making viewing choices I think of the 13th article of faith. The prophet has said we are going to find an ever widening gulf between the Lord's standards and the world. <br /><br />Keep up you standards and have the courage to turn it off or walk out of the theater.<br /><br />-Nicole WhiteNicole M.

This is one of the reasons I don't watch very much television (the other being the time issue). There are currently two shows I'll make time for, though: Doctor Who and The Walking Dead (I love me some zombies). There was at least one uncomfortable sex scene in TWD, but we got around having to watch it by pausing the show for a few minutes, then fast-forwarding.

I would not invite someone acting like that in real life to enter or stay in my home, so I choose not to invite them through the media, either. Our church leaders have counseled us to avoid anything that is not virtuous, lovely of good report or praiseworthy, as much as we possibly can. It only takes viewing one small picture to lure us down a slippery path of addiction to pornography and other vices. Thank you for giving me some thoughts to share with my kids. hugs~Kari Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855609339118198399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-56374502803460821752011-02-16T00:58:35.256-07:002011-02-16T00:58:35.256-07:00First, I haven't seen those shows so can't...First, I haven't seen those shows so can't comment on them particularly. <br />I was geeky, nerdy teen and still love Scifi/Fantasy. Love Star Wars and Star Trek and Generations. I have noticed that a lot of related shows or channels that say a Star Wars Marathon or similar sort of shows may air on seem to be aiming at young (teen and twenties) males demographic, as shown by tasteless girls "behaving badly" video advertisements and,other similar poducts, during these shows.<br /><br />I do notice that some shows purposely are aimed for a certain demographic and add or subtract crudeness to appeal to the desired demographic. The show would have had a wider appeal if packaged with more class but that wasn't their goal.Susan G.

You have to wait for movies or TV shows to come out on dvd first, but then it allows you to set filters for violece, language, sex, "religious exclamations" and even disrespect for parents. So nice to be able to watch cleaned up versions of shows.Sandstorm2012https://www.blogger.com/profile/08937286153935877759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-35540238149648174852011-02-15T16:30:48.485-07:002011-02-15T16:30:48.485-07:00I agree with your assessment of the show.

I do not want my kids to see that, nor do I want it in my head.Rebecca Irvinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156262858446400612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-48328927850956582552011-02-15T16:20:03.185-07:002011-02-15T16:20:03.185-07:00Sorry, that last comment was supposed to be by joh...Sorry, that last comment was supposed to be by johnsonteammom, I didn't realize my son was logged on.
