American Television Used To Be Good

Hi, Karen Sugarpants here.

It took a long time to decide what to write in this space, but I know Lisa likes it when you enjoy reading her blog. She doesn’t like to have you leave here feeling bad about anything. So while I have Lisa in my heart, let’s take a little break from the current situation and have a good old fashioned laugh, yes?

Yes.

I’m not a fan of television, really. Not in 2008, when anyone can come along and have their own time on the tube, like Tila Tequila the bisexual sex elf, and now I hear Parisite Hilton is coming out with a similar show to find her “new BFF.”

Paris needs to GO AWAY.

Back in the day, before cell phones and wide use of the internet, we used to have some seriously funny shit on t.v.

Game. Shows.

Not this crap where you had to put other people down or lie to them to “outwit, outplay, outlast.” No, there was a time when candid, silly things were entertainment, and nobody got hurt.

I miss those days. I think I was only about negative 5 years old (ahem), but it was a time where families watched one television together and enjoyed it without needing to censor.

Candid and silly rocks. YouTube has a plethora of these hilarious compilations of old footage from game shows and laughed my ass off.

Enjoy, Lisa and Clusterfook readers:

Are you in a good mood now? Good! Open your wallet. Thanks!

Heh.. those were funny. I agree, those were the best on the old game shows. I can even remember that lady who had her name called on the Price is Right to “come on down” and as she was running her boobies came out of her top. Priceless.

I remember sitting with my parents after dinner, first watching Wheel of Fortune/Jeopardy, then moving on to Magnum PI, Love Boat, and Fantasy Island. (now I’m showin my age) It was a time when You didn’t have to worry if your kids could watch TV with you…. now we have ratings.
