I was watching a little television last night and had the most difficult time. There appears to be a shortage of creativity and clever writing as most of the stories rely upon sex and off color humor to generate laughs.
I remember a commedian talking once (though I forget his name) about comedians who are funny and those who are not. The comedians who are not funny rely upon foul language to generate laughs. The comedians who are funny can make you laugh with every day, mundane stuff.
I’m not one of those anti-television types. I enjoy the tranquility and the mind-numbing relaxation that can only result from the tele. I realize there have always been shows that have pushed the boundaries of decency and morality. I like shows for the stories, the plots, the characters. I could do without all the other “amenities.”
The current popular shows makes it hard to:
think about the things that are good and worthy of praise. Think about the things that are true and honorable and right and pure and beautiful and respected. (Philippians 4:8)
Anybody watched anything worthwhile lately?
