LSB Demographics (poll)
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.

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.

hah
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!

some of the non-conservative hostility
Just kidding, but I think we all know that everybody's hostile on the internets. Conservatives certainly aren't any exception...there are literally millions of Sharkys out there.
Conservatives do play the victim well, though! POOR YOU (/end Livia Soprano).
by Dustin on Mar 9, 2007 10:20 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
hah, well played
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'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 0 recs
Yeah it is in better shape
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.

I also really enjoyed Matlock when I was about 12 years old. Quality TV plot development, commercial break twists, and cheesy music that is missing today ...

How in the fuck
I dont know of a good mainstream scripted show (sitcom or drama) on the planet. There are a few stupid reality shows that are entertaining, that's about it.
TV is just so awful. And getting steadily worse.
I think, if I was running a coup, one of the first things I would do would be bomb the TV stations. Hit 'em in the heart.

Glad you brought up SNL
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.

Steve Martin
The lineup of Chevy Chase, Bill Murray (after Chase left),Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin and throwins Garret Morris and Lorraine Newman was never topped IMO.

I also remember watching the 1st season of The Real World when I was younger, but I can't watch it anymore because it's just ridiculous now. I am 30, btw and watched entirely too much TV in the 80s and 90s.

What are you talking about?
I liked that show for the first season or two, then it got really old, really fast. I can suspend disbelief with the best of them but that show's just too much.
I tried watching this season but the writing and acting were just so bad I couldn't take it anymore. Two or three episodes were as far as I could get.

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.

Yah
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
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"
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.
