Penn & Teller —- pretty good show, except the little guy creeps me out a bit and he looks like Tim Conway’s twin. Can’t recall ever disagreeing with anything they’ve ever said. Great quote …
“You’ll notice more obscenity than we usually use. That’s not just because it’s on Showtime, and we want to get some attention. It’s also a legal matter. If one calls people liars and quacks, one can be sued and lose a lot of one’s money. But “motherfuckers” and “assholes” is pretty safe. If we said it was all scams, we could also be in trouble. But BULLSHIT, oddly, is safe. So forgive all the bullshit language. We’re trying to talk about the truth without spending the rest of our lives in court because of litigious motherfuckers!” ——————— Penn Jillette
I hope this shows up — “11 Penn and Teller Bullshit WTF moments” … good stuff!
The Wire — “analysis class, race, and politics from multiple viewpoints and perspectives” …. sounds like PC crap, and I’m not interested
South Park —- 5 stars x 5 stars

P & T’s Bullshit is classic. Love what I have seen.
South Park is the best, nothing is sacred and truth is everywhere. Which is why it is universally disliked by those that wish to remain blind.
I had no idea about House of Cards, guess I’ll have to put it on my list. The Wire too. Second time it has been referenced this week, guess that means the universe is trying to get my attention.
Or not. My son just gave me his old Roku player, so I’ll be able to binge watch from my new girl cave soon. Happy thoughts!

Look out Stucky,
If it’s only 9″ long it’s a “Short Barreled Shotgun” under the NFA 1934 and you or Mrs. Stucky owe the US Treasury $200 for the tax stamp.
(giggling)
What gauge would a 9″ shotgun use? If a 12 gauge is huge, and a 20 gauge is smaller, and a 410 gauge is about 45 caliber, then that little thing must be a 1400 gauge, right? Does Walmart sell the ammo?

Stuck, biggest statist tv has to be Law & Order, SVU.
They called parents that don’t vaccinate “killers” and that is just the one at the top of my list. I used to love Law & Order before my eyes opened. Now I wish most of the guilty would get away with it. Wish I would see jury nullification.
Instead it’s all, “greater good,” “terrorism,” “collateral damage,” puke.

SGT Aslin said teevee shows are nothing but indoctrination. He had A TE moment when he realized shows have a moral. Well, their purpose is to draw an audience for advertisers but hey, no sense wasting the time entertaining you without putting in a good word for Big Brother.
OK, Stuck has officially closed this thread saying it is after 5. Do you mind if I comment on bb’s question? His was a libertarian concern, imagine that. Our old boss had certain self-serving unwritten rules. He and his compatriots could take an extra long lunch on Fridays, inner circle jerks could take vacation on a whim while the rest of us had to give a week or two advance notice, his favorite answer to a plea for variance was, “No, but resubmit your request later for a final denial,”
I just read of a new recruiting tool, ‘pre-cation’ where a new hire is required by the new employer to take a 2 week company paid vacation. Ha!, my shady boss should sue for theft of his idea, he hired an idiot who needed to go on vacation before his first day. Normal slobs didn’t even begin to accrue vacation until 3 or 4 months into the job but this weasel gets vacation, secret training not offered to the rest of the slobs and other special deals that mere mortals can only dream of.
So here is my answer, bb. rules are made to protect the guilty and their privilege. The rules are written by the first guys there to keep newcomers in a position of dependency and powerlessness. That’s all there is to that, just pronounce the rules loudly and keep reminding people that there are rules and they will knuckle under. You’ll need a few enforcers, break a few noggins and the rest will fall in line. And don’t get riled up when you notice a select few flouting the rules, that only serves to prove the magnanimous nature of Big Brother towards otherwise upright citizens.

I nominate the original Incredible Hulk show with Bill Bixby — he was always just trying to live his life and stay one step ahead of The Man. He realized even the most powerful violence would never defeat the tyranny of the State, so he kept on moving on, earning his keep but never his peace.
The show also illustrated that the government’s handmaiden is the media, in this case the reporter who kept searching for him — I seem to recall the guy would mostly turn into the Hulk only *after* this jackass reporter showed up and starting causing problems for the good Doctor.
And now, after thinking about it, there were a number of other shows from the late 70’s that would qualify as well — unfortunately, if Grizzly Adams were on television today, he would be ridiculed on John Stewart as a typical conservative isolationist and nutball that cohabits with a bear, while the Dukes of Hazzard would be declared terrorist propaganda by the modern police state for featuring protagonists that steadfastly ignore the law and exposing the police forces as incompetent liars or just outright villains.

Best libertarian TV show was Firefly. It was a short lived sci-fi show that ran 14 episodes in 2002 plus a movie called Serenity.
3 of my favorite shows
The Prisoner —- never heard of it
House Of Cards —- 5 stars
Penn & Teller —- pretty good show, except the little guy creeps me out a bit and he looks like Tim Conway’s twin. Can’t recall ever disagreeing with anything they’ve ever said. Great quote …
