Criticizing TV Programs You Haven't Seen Or Which Haven't Even Aired Yet Is Pathetic
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 07:59 PM by cryingshame
and profoundly UN-Progressive.

It's what Fundamentalists do. They react according to their preconceived ideas.

No difference than the Catholic church saying 'don't see movie xyz'

There is something disturbing about DU'ers objecting to a SNL show before ever even watching it.

And that so many actually support that kind of prejudice?

Doesn't make sense on a site for Lefties. Sorry.

If you're going to bitch about a tv program or movie, watch it first so you know what you're talking about.

3. Maybe...but consider this
I will watch SNL, but if someone just doesn't want to see or hear her, I can understand that.
I would not watch American Carol because the idea behind it is offensive to me--I am not saying that I would ban it, but I certainly don't have to embrace it. And I remain progressive, forever.

8. There are shows or movies
that I choose not to see, generally based on what I've heard about them. If asked, I'll say why I don't want to watch them, but I do try to avoid any blanket condemnation because I haven't, after all, watched the show or movie in question.

9. Live broadcast (mostly), Liberal, "blue" city like Philadelphia...
SNL should be a hoot.

I'm anticipating a lot of Bronx Cheers and NBC rapidly cutting to commercial.
