When did we become so obsessed......

with violence on TV? I watched a nature show last night and the second thing they choose to show us was a baby whale being killed by Killer whales and bears. So I went looking for some else to watch my choices were, people killing one another or drama queen shows or "reality" shows. Whatever happen to the good shows. St. Elsewhere, NYPD Blues, ER or some of the others.

No wonder we are becoming more violent, that's all we see, movies, TV, internet, games etc.

Is it just me ?

I hear you, Brooks.

Yep. It's one of the reasons we didn't bother to keep tv service when everything went digital. When we travel and see what's on cable, it's all the same.

Funny you write this, Brooks. Just last night I happened on a Nature show - animals of North America - where they showed a pack of wolves chasing a buffalo herd to get a the babies. I turned the TV off when the 5 wolves cut off a mom and her baby from the rest of the herd, and were biting at the panicky, bleating calf while the mom was doing her best to protect him. I know, it's nature. I still hate to watch it.
