No its art, art does not need to conform to my values to be interesting. I do remember that I gave up on Nip/Tuck because of some particular ridiculous plot twist, after a stream of ridiculous plot twists, but that is not what you are talking about.
EDIT: I am also having a problem with some of the Netflix stuff that came from God knows where...never hit a theater....I get 15 -20 minutes in and realize that who ever wrote this crap seems to have not the first clue about the reality of the human condition. A few nights ago I wasted over a hour getting three such examples in a row.
Hello friends,
This thread is to ask for examples if there ever was a TVshow you were watching where at some point they drastically crossed the line withyour personal value system so bad that you never watched them again.
This is NOT a discussion of your personal values, but justabout something you saw on a show that really crossed the line with them so badyou never watched that show again. Somuch that you said, “ Oh, hell no!”, and never watched that show again.
I have three examples…
1. The Man Show – there was one bit where AdamCorolla was taking his mother out, but it was completely romantic between themboth and it finished with them both going to a motel room and closing the doorbehind them. Consentual sex being implied
Oh, hell NO!...click
2. Barney Miller – Once a guy came in and reportedbeing robbed of his paycheck and the detectives said it was nothing to getupset about or fight the thief about.Well, I do not know about the rest of the population, but my paychecksare the source of my kids food, clothing, and keeping the bills paid and a roofover all our heads.No damned thief isgoing to rob my family of their money, and their source of security.It IS something to fight over.
Oh, hell NO!...click
3. The Jeffersons – On one episode George Jeffersonhad a manager of one of his many dry cleaning shops quit, and he was lookingfor a replacement from within his employees.A white lady who had been there for many years was suggested, but Georgesaid no.He said his was a black ownedbusiness and only black people would be promoted to management positions evenif they were not as qualified as anyone of another race.
Oh, hell NO!...click
Sometimes these TV shows cross the line inmaking a point that the writers and producers want to shove down our throats,regardless of legal, moral, or ethical standards. It is their TV show and they can say whatthey want to, but I can also exercise my right to change the channel and neverwatch they show again.
So, friends, have you even seen somethingon TV that was so “over the top” against your beliefs that you vowed to neverwatch that show again?
Remember, this is not about your values,but about some shows you may have seen that completely pissed you off enough soyou never watched them again.
I would love to hear about them.
PS...I wrote this on WORD as I was afraid it might time out before I was done and I would loose it all, so I apologize for some of the spaces between words being omitted in the pasting.
Dexter... glorifying mass murder.. Same with Fight Club.. might as well legalize snuff films.
Daredevil season 2.. put me off for season 3.. Way to much gore that is not needed for the story line. You dont need to see the drill going into the leg to understand that this is happening for **** sake.. You dont need to see multiple people being garotted with blood spewing all over the place. The motion of doing in both cases would be fine.

I find some violence on cable to be almost pornographic...that of the Hostel ilk.

Game of Thrones when Stannis had his daughter burned at the stake. Yes, that show is nothing but one character being more vile and evil than another, but that scene was a show stopper--literally--for me. My hope is that the dead people on the other side of the wall will kill every living soul in each of the kingdoms. The living on that show are the bad guys; the dead might just turn out to be the good guys.

Only one I can think of. I loved the John Belushi et all Saturday Night Live cast. When they'd all changed out, I hung around briefly, but, to my taste, they just weren't funny anymore. The last episode I watched showed two of the female comics in bed under covers masturbating. IMO it was a SO cheap laugh grab...that didn't work in the slightest...I never watched again. I thought that skit crossed the line.
Now? Hell, I think some COMMERCIALS cross the line.
One that particularly frosts my behind is for the feminine wash product a guy accidentally uses in the shower as his wife points out its Ph balanced for her V. Her V?? That's VAGINA. If you can have an ad for it? Say the darned word, for heaven's sake. Are we NUTZ? Doesn't offend me...just crosses the "STOOPID Threshhold."
Are we going to have to listen to ads about Winkie Dysfunction soon? I want truth in advertising, damn it. "Can't get it up??? We've got an APP for that!!!"
