Talking Bout Some Great Television

There is some utter and complete garbage on the television right now. You can tell where society has gone, by watching some of the trash that exists on it. I can't describe in great detail what some of these shows are like. I can tell you if I feel uncomfortable after watching the commercial, its probably pretty likely that the show isn't going to be much better.

It seems as if though every program now has a 'viewer discretion advised', and that includes the cartoon shows on FOX. Most of these shows, as it appears are filled with debauchery- I know that's a big word, let me give you the definition- extreme indulgence in sensuality. Its quite annoying. What happened to the Brady Bunch and Family Matters? Full House anyone?

I can remember back in elementary school when people were upset about the A-Team because they thought it was 'too violent'. Watch one of those episodes now. Its laughable to call it violent. Its a Broadway musical compared to what's on TV today.

There is one show on right now that I stumbled upon (because of the SuperBowl) called 'Undercover Boss'. If you haven't seen it, you need to. Its TV at its best. Its a show about CEOs that go undercover at their own company to see how the 'working man'(and women) deal with their daily jobs. It is full of great life lessons.

It shows how hard entry level people have to work. It shows immigrants that love being in America. It portrays the good side of people and the rewards that hard work produces. Everyone I've talked to that has seen it, loves it. Bring some tissue. Its a tear jerker at times.

Here's the deal- a lot of people deplore television because of the tripe that is on it, but that's like saying I wont use a car because people use them as getaway cars in robberies. There is some good stuff on that thing, you just have to look for it. Yes, don't spend your life looking for it by watching 8 hours a day, but there is nothing wrong with catching a good bit of entertainment now and again.

What's the nugget? don't watch bad TV that leads you to unhealthy thoughts and actions. Watch TV that encourages you to be a better person or teaches you something. Watch Undercover Boss and tell me what you think.

Be blessed
