hollowseal33, what's gotten into you? 🙂

Anyway, I'm kind of done trying to justify myself. I don't really feel like watching The Simpsons anymore, and if I can handle something intense like Yellowstone or Succession, then I can definitely handle Sex and the City. 😬

@coastalpanther11/">@@coastalpanther11: alright, alright, I believe you... it was really sweet of you to go through the trouble of finding 😘

Susan Clark10 said:Honestly, I’m done making excuses. I’m over watching The Simpsons. If I can stomach shows like Yellowstone or Succession, I can definitely handle Sex and the City.😬

Don't you dare bring Yellowstone or Succession into this. Those shows are actually good. 😎

coastalpanther11 said:Don't go dragging piranhas and abysses into this. They're actually pretty cool. 😎

Maybe. It's definitely a different vibe than that series they're watching. 😬

coastalpanther11 said:Don't bring piranhas or pits into this. They're totally fine. 😎

🙂 😬 😁

Susan Clark10, seriously, stop comparing ZLJ to The Simpsons. It's ridiculous. 🙂

hollowseal33 said:🙂 😬 😁

Miss AJ, please, don't go comparing Sex and the City to The Simpsons, for goodness sake! 🙂

I wasn't actually comparing Sex and the City to The Simpsons; I just meant if they can handle watching Sex and the City, then I can certainly watch Sex and the City too. 😉

And Yara isn't "cool"—she's just pathetic. 😈

Let’s not get bogged down in talking about what kind of person I am: 🙂

Fine, you aren't grouping them together. My bad, I'm backing down. I'm out of here.

coastalpanther11 said:If we're talking about those shows that used to air early Sunday afternoons, I’d definitely throw in Galactica - Starship and Automan onto that list.

Oh man, yes!! Finally, someone who actually gets what I'm talking about—remembering those old graphics where you had a little cursor friend just drawing a car making a turn at a ninety-degree angle?😬

Anyone remember Bionic Woman? Honestly, that bionic sound effect... it stays stuck in my head like a catchy tune.

hollowseal33 said:Sex and the City... honestly, something that was so incredibly grounded and yet so idiotic and banalized, it’s a miracle it ever made it to TV. That’s exactly what we should have been watching.

Nice description. 🙂 Sin City is basically the playground for high rollers—it’s the Las Vegas of debauchery, the world capital of excess. And honestly? That can be a hell of a lot of fun. Besides, how could you not love a place where scenes like this actually happen: Imagine a room where a guy is lying naked on his back, wrists handcuffed to the headboard. Sitting on top of him, equally naked, is Samantha. Suddenly, the cops burst in. The lead officer walks right up to the bed, deadpan, holding a pair of handcuffs, and asks Samantha with total composure: "Ma'am, would you mind removing those cuffs so I can put my own on him?" 🤣

I mean, how can you not love a show that features scenes like this: there’s a bed in the middle of the room, some guy lying naked on his back with his hands handcuffed to the headboard. Sitting on top of him, equally naked, is Samantha. Suddenly, the cops burst in, and the lead officer—completely deadpan—walks up to the bed with handcuffs in hand and asks her, "Ma'am, would you mind removing yours so I can put mine on?" 🤣

🤣 Fair enough. I watched one episode once and thought it was pretty funny. Then, a few months later, I stumbled upon the series again and started watching, right up until I realized it was that exact same episode, so I tapped out. 🤔 Or maybe they just make all the episodes look so similar that I couldn't tell them apart?

Anyway, I had the absolute worst nightmare ever last night. I dreamed I was actually buying a TV! And get this—I wanted to put it in my bedroom! Brrrrrrrrrr.

For those who aren't in the loop: the TV is basically there so I can sit down every two weeks from spring through autumn and watch Formula 1 racing. In the winter, if I'm lucky, maybe some ski jumping. But since they aren't broadcasting it this year, I guess my subconscious decided to give me the creeps instead...

Daaaaaaaaaa! 😂

The TV is the first thing I turn on in the morning and the last thing I shut off at night. Call me a total TV junkie, but honestly? I don't even really "watch" anything. It’s just good background noise to wake me up or help me pass out.

Pklat said:Great description. 🙂 This town is to high society what Las Vegas is to tacky kitsch—it’s basically the global capital of both—and you have to realize it can just be fun. Besides, how could you not love a place where scenes like this happen: A bed in the middle of a room, some guy lying naked on his back with his hands handcuffed to the headboard. Sitting on top of him, equally naked, is naturally, Samantha. Suddenly, the cops burst in, and the lead officer—dead serious, handcuffs in hand—walks up to the bed and asks her bluntly: "Ma'am, would you mind removing your handcuffs so I can put mine on him?" 🤣

Personally, my favorite part about that show was that the women were constantly hooking up in bras. I binged the whole season during a summer rerun when we didn't have AC yet—it was brutal, and I couldn't fall asleep until, I don't know, 1 AM. It was actually pretty entertaining. But the following year when the new season started, it suddenly felt so cringe-inducing and stupid (okay, it was stupid the first year too, just funnier) that I had to flee the room if anyone else was watching—meaning my husband.
I have to admit, the only series I've ever followed in my life is probably the dumbest one ever: Roswell. And I loved it. 😳 So, the fact that I haven't watched a single episode of any reality show or soap opera in my life doesn't say anything about my supposed "good taste."

Like those new Strokes tracks. Total waste of time.

edit: And yeah, if instead of watching soaps and Big Brother I'm hanging out on this forum... maybe I should just go watch Big Brother. 😬

Here are the top 3 headlines I scrolled through in this morning's USA Today while grabbing coffee at the local diner:

3. "EX-GOALKEEPER CONFESSION: Joe Biden was allegedly under a spell from the girls he misled!"

2. "THE BOSS AT HOME: Just how much cash did Johnny Cash borrow from his own driver?"

1. "WHO AND WHAT DID THE IMITATOR USE TO PIERCE THOSE SILICONE BREASTS!"

There you go... honestly, give me a break...

Ugh!
Seriously, DJ... you've been smelling fishy to me since the jump... or actually, you're giving off major Ferrari fan vibes 😱

🙂 🙂

Alex Rogers91 said:Ugh!
Look, DJ... I've had a bad feeling about you since the beginning—or maybe even worse, you remind me of some Ferrari fanatic 😱

I am also waiting for everyone to come clean... my sniper rifle is ready and waiting...

Aside from Formula 1 and gymnastics, I suppose the only other thing I watch is the Olympics opening ceremony every four years. 😳
