God save us from our stupidity!
Follow Ups:
I watched one episode of Sex.... when I was at a friends house. Never again, not even if I was visiting. I'd rather walk their dog. How do people watch this crap? And it wins awards....? To each their own I guess.
and the sound is great on my Maggies with Mye stands.
Guess I came off too strong. Sorry if I offended. Sometimes I am a bit opinionated.
Not only did it lack love, kindness and humanity, it was tuned to a wavelength that actually subtracts those elements from the viewer. No wonder liberals love it.Oh! Is that unfair?

Cronenberg's "Videodrome"? ~AH
I'm not a conservative, I might even be a liberal (I think of myself as a practical humanist)...but 5 minutes of Desperate Houswives was more than I could tolerate.Horrible. I hate it. But then, I hate most network TV.
It was (is) dehumanizing, or as you put it, sucking good things out of the viewer.
I tried to watch this once too when my office was buzzing about how good this show was. Feh. I'll stick to watching movies for now.One thing film lovers like you and me have to downshift from is seeing drama develop and resolve over an hour and a half. TV can stretch out conflict over a season, so things feel slower and dragged out. See my post about the Sopranos to your other thread. I think that's a pretty good series.

One of these days I gotta get myself organizized.
...and they're spectacular. : * )
Victor, hi. Have you seen Russian Ark? What a wonderful film. A bit experimental but nonetheless it has a certain power.
Yes, and you might want to do a search here on that title - there have been some very interesting discussions on it. As I mentioned before, I am partial to that museum (I visited it several dozen times in my life), and every time I go there I see the scenes from the movie, that makes it so much more personal.
is why in this day and age of "high morality" in the US, this has been the most popular series on TV for nearly three months here!
Actually the popularity of soft-core/smut/indecent content etc. often seems to conincide with an outcry of declining morailty in US society. Sometimes its hard to tell which is the head and which is the tail, so to speak. Remember Tipper Gore's efforts to prevent kids from being exposed to the terrible mesages heavy metal music? LOL!!I've never seen Housewives, but I imagine the content can't be much worse that the "lewd" music videos/reality shows that air on MTV these days. And the demographic for MTV is teens and young adults.
But hardly amazing given the "success" of such marvels as Sex in the City.
Was funny in part. On the whole I liked the series. They had some good text...
I thought it was well written, acted, and photographed and had extremely high (Sopranos level) production values.
What was a surprise was that it was very ...how to say, " sexy " and that from a land we are not used to get this kind of series...He-he...Through I would not praise that much.
It was a light fun, and for that it stand firm on my pleasure list even I never would watch it twice. Just like a good beer in summer time.
Helas, I never saw the " Sopranos "...
I am just at " Smíley´s " right now.
I watched several episodes and couldn't disagree with you two more. While I understand why some would be attracted to this soft smut (as someone put it), it is not its smutty nature that bothered me, but the very low intellectual level. Plus it was just plain boring.
... this is the second time today I've caught myself agreeing with you!
