Just curious about the makeup of the visitors to Adam's blog. Think it'd be nice to get a feel for "who" we're conversing with online. I put some TV references down for each age group, although there's some crossover (I'm in the 26-35 group but watched plenty of Matlock & The Real World).

Adam - hope you don't mind, just thought it would be interesting.

I'm 35 and ditto the Matlock (same for Dynasty). And while I don't fall into the Cheers era I probably have seen more Cheers than Seinfeld, barely though.

And I must admit to watching a season or two of The Real World. Granted it was the New York and LA seasons; not that that makes it any better, but it was a decade+ ago and anything is better than going to class or studying.

I have the same excuse for watching the first season of Real World. Magnum PI was also in syndication, and on at 10:00 a.m., just about the time I was getting up (after missing my 8:00 a.m. class). Cheers was in heavy syndication, with multiple time slots, so I saw a bunch of that. Seinfeld was a few years behind Cheers.

You've heard of the phrase "silent majority" before...
I'm confident that isn't exactly the case here, but simply based on the laws of probability, there have to be some conservatives that just don't partake in the political discussion on here. And considering how hostile some of the non-conservatives are, I can't say I blame anyone for avoiding those threads. I don't really mean any offense by that, but let's be honest...the people that do not consider themselves conservatives, or the people that just have a passionate hatred for Bush on this website, are pretty hostile to anyone that feels differently. And whatever, that's fine that you don't like Bush, I'm not going to get on your case about it (I'm ready for him to get out of office too!) But have some respect for other people!

I usually don't like the conservative victimization movement...and I won't deny that there are hostile conservatives out there...there is evidence of that on this site.
Oh well, that was just on my mind, hostility doesn't keep me from speaking out, so I don't really feel like I'm the victim of anything, and for the most part, I was just trying to find some reason as to why there aren't more vocal conservatives on this site, that seemed like a viable one.

I don't know...maybe they're just not proud of the state of conservatism in US politics right now and would rather not defend it. That seems just as likely.

Either way I was really just reaching out there to say... Let's end the hostility! You see, I'm a uniter!

I think you had it

...when you said they're not proud of the GOP these days. I hear it said all the time at work, here, and elsewhere on the Internet. I know a lot of "true" Republicans that don't like "neoconservatism" or all the "family values" stuff.

I'm not exactly thrilled with my party, either, but I have to say it's in better shape than it has been in a while.

by Dustin on Mar 9, 2007 1:47 PM CST up reply actions

Yeah it is in better shape

After 2004, I thought Republicans were on top. Not just because of the federal level, but because of the number of state legislatures they controlled as well. I don't really consider myself a neocon, but I do latch on to a variety of conservative backgrounds, which include having a strong military and protecting our country's interests. Regardless, defining true conservatism is pretty difficult now, since there are so many varieties that can explain themselves in the context of some form of classical conservatism. Hopefully that is not too awkward of a statement...but someone out there must know what I mean.
I agree with most of that "family values" stuff, but I don't agree with the federal government dictating most of it. If state governments and state voters want to decide on moral issues, they have somewhat of a stronger claim on doing so.

Just wondering what everyone's favorite cast was?

For me it was Phil Hartman/Kevin Neiland/Jon Lovitz/Julia Sweeney/the blonde with the high voice. The 70's casts with Belushi and Akroyd and Steve Martin were pretty good, too.

Also, why in the hell did they get rid of GE Smith and the Saturday Night Live Band? They were awesome.

wasnt a cast member, just a frequent host.

The acting's great

As always. 24 has always had terrific actors. Try seeing James Cromwell's performance, for instance (Jack Bauer's father) and telling me he's a bad actor. Just an example-that's one thing that the season hasn't lacked. But what it has lacked is believability, It's become somewhat ridiculous, and the writing seems lackluster.
Then again, last season didn't really rev up until episode 12 or 13, so I'm hoping that is the case. I hate to see such a great show struggling.

by BudLight on Mar 9, 2007 7:51 AM CST reply actions

No, the acting sucks

But it probably has something to do with the writing being so bad. The guy who plays the President is awful. Sutherland is spotty. The terrorist guy is bad. And those are major characters.

WARNING SPOILERS!!!

The show has always been super OTT (Over The Top), but this year they turned the OTT up a notch. The British guy gets tortured for hours, including having his shoulder bored into with a power drill, and then he gets stitched up and is back at work an hour later? Really?

And why are people always trying to overthrow the President for the good of the country? Can they not come up with a better plot device than that?

The whole "Jack's Father is willing to kill all his family members to protect his company" thing had me ready to stop watching. There has to be more there.

But, of course, I still watch. As stupid as the show can be, it's still fun. You just have to turn your brain off for certain parts.

Character rundown

Jack: I think a lot of the criticism for Kiefer this season has been because he seems to be different from he has been in the past. People see him sort of 'wavering', or expressing himself in odd ways this season, and they construe that as bad acting. In reality, I think it is an attempt to portray that he Isn't the same Jack Bauer we saw in the past, that 18 months of torture in China changed him. I'd probably give his acting an B+ so far.

Wayne Palmer: I'll agree with you here, the president has been disappointing. Wayne Palmer was a good character, but the actor simply Isn't fit to act as the president. I'm somewhat relieved that we won't be seeing very much of him anytime soon (being that there was an assassination attempt.
Morris: Mediocre, I'll agree. The whole alcohol storyline is pretty silly.
Chloe: Reduced role, but she's done her part fairly well.
Milo: I don't like his character much, but he's done a good job being the micromanaging overly annoying boss at work, as well as pulling off a few nice scenes in the field.
Assad: I like the job he's done. He wasn't entirely convincing when talking about his desire for peace, but he was ruthless and you could tell he had some form of terrorist background.
Fayed: I think he's basically a rehash of Marawan (If anyone's seen season 4) with a bit of personal vendetta against Jack tacked on. I hate how they added another villain with the ability to escape from any situation and do it completely undetected while using a helicopter. But oh well. Portrays a brutal character well.
Phillip Bauer: A masterful performance to this point. He had me going both ways, first believing that he was the good guy, then that he was the most evil bastard to appear on the show yet. He's convincing, condescending, and subtle. I'd give him an A.
Next week they're going to reintroduce two major cogs from the previous season who appear to have united, Aaron Pierce and Martha Logan. I have high hopes for their inclusion, they were key in last year's emmy-winning season.

"Reply to this"

Using that button helps to make the conversation a little easier to follow.

I know bad acting when I see it, and I saw enough of it through three episodes to judge the show. We're not talking about a sitcom pilot here. 24 is a big network hit and it brings in millions of dollars in advertising. It's big, and there's no excuse for having a sub-par actor in ANY role, much less a major one. And Kieffer Sutherland CAN act. I've seen him act reasonably well before. But a lot of his scenes are very awkward. Cut and shoot again until you get it right, you know?

But the President, yeah, he's the worst. That guy is a horrible actor. The first President they had is doing better in his insurance commercials.

Again, there's no reason for a show this big to ever be poorly written, directed, or acted. They can afford top talent at every level.
