Guess I was wrong.

"Marge, I think I'm starting to hate Ted Koppel! No, wait, I find him informative and witty. 'Night."

Translation: Time to bring in the Propoganda Actors by ZeroCorpse	Apr 1st, 2005 03:54:00 AM
Journalists are a dying breed. What we've got now are sensationalists who spout propoganda and fear the truth. I miss Walter Cronkite, and he was a right bastard sometimes!
Looks like we had a malfunction with the "Invisotext"? by John Anderton	Apr 1st, 2005 03:57:55 AM

PS: I also decry the fall of investigative journalism by John Anderton	Apr 1st, 2005 04:01:29 AM
The "journalists" on today's news have no idea what "hard" news is. It's a bygone era when newscasters would actually explain issues and dig into the truth, rather than modern newscasting, babbling off the party line (FOX) or tripping over themselves (CBS).
He's suffering from Koppel Tunnel Syndrome by Eugene O	Apr 1st, 2005 04:35:34 AM
Eh...that's all I got.
ER... by baj24	Apr 1st, 2005 04:39:41 AM
Will be around for atleast 2 more seasons. Personally, I think the show has been medicore for years now and they should let it die with atleast a little bit of dignity. Just like the networks to bleed something dry.
ER was always supposed to be Carter's show... by SleazyG.	Apr 1st, 2005 05:17:03 AM
...and end with his character's arc. He was supposed to start as a wet-behind-the-ears rookie, screw up, learn some lessons, make his way to the top, and start running the show. Then things would end. It was a good plan, and one they could justify taking a dozen years. Now they're just getting greedy. Eight episodes in two years doesn't cut it, and neither does going back to Thandie--the relationship never had any real heft. It was too out of left field, too insubstantial. They should've crammed all eight of his episodes into next season and then bowed out gracefully while that was still an option.
What th--? ER is still on?!? by Uncle Stan	Apr 1st, 2005 09:08:07 AM

koppel quits abc and wyle does more er ep's by dr.bulber	Apr 1st, 2005 10:24:47 AM
awesome lumping.
Yeah, what's the connection by TimBenzedrine	Apr 1st, 2005 12:21:22 PM
r can distinguish between news and entertainment.
Shit, what happened to my post? by TimBenzedrine	Apr 1st, 2005 12:26:53 PM
What I meant to say: Except to comment that we can no longer distinguish between news and entertainment. --sorry.
ER by Flem_Snopes	Apr 1st, 2005 01:07:47 PM
Is still better than 90 percent of TV. Most of the characters are really engaging.
Best Part of ER by Itchy	Apr 1st, 2005 05:21:55 PM
Linda Cardellini. And her rack. She's really, really cute. And is a pretty decent actress, too. And she has a nice rack. Other than that, I agree - ER is still in the top 10% of shows. Well produced, well acted, and reasonably fresh stories, even after a decade.
Okay ... have at it by Itchy	Apr 2nd, 2005 09:31:53 AM
Tell me what's better than ER. If you want to count cable shows as part of the sample population, for every "Carnivale" or "Battlestar Galactica" show you count, you also have to factor in 78 hours of Trading Spaces and its varients, every piece of shit on the Oxygen Network and the 4 or 5 hillbilly motorsports channels out there. Face it, there ain't much good out there, and ER shines by comparison.
90% of everthing is crap by the G-man	Apr 2nd, 2005 09:04:02 PM
Therefore, saying "ER" (or "the Simpsons" for that matter) is "better than 90% of TV" is simply saying it is marginally better than crap.
Marg Helgenberger died at age 37??? by I Dunno	Apr 2nd, 2005 09:28:35 PM
I never watched CSI but she was hot in China Beach. Thought she was older than 37 though. Damn.
note to angry teenages: Not everything is crap. by Tall_Boy	Apr 2nd, 2005 09:28:59 PM
Thank you, come again.
I Dunno, what's up with the rumor mongering? by DarkHawke	Apr 4th, 2005 11:58:37 AM
Marg Helgenberger is not dead. She IS older than 37, 46 to be exact, but alive and kicking as far as a couple quick web scans reveal. And what the hell would it have to do with this here topic anyway?
