My SIL is a rape survivor and is paralyzed by PTSD and she can't stop watching Law and Order. I wish her husband would intervene. I think it is awful what passed for entertainment. I have watched Medium once or twice and it was interesting but too much about violence to make it a regular show.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624290716747211161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245589515098482899.post-26606327488297461962008-05-13T09:26:00.000-04:002008-05-13T09:26:00.000-04:00one of my favorites... but i know the one that you...one of my favorites... but i know the one that you're talking about... and i had to change the channel for a bit..Heather {Desperately Seeking Sanity}https://www.blogger.com/profile/00243388362771376897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245589515098482899.post-4652506093787905432008-05-13T01:11:00.000-04:002008-05-13T01:11:00.000-04:00Since when is gratuitous violence entertainment??S...Since when is gratuitous violence entertainment??<BR/><BR/>Sad.

Not as much as I like. Time time time.... ugh. But oh well. I keep thinking I'll turn a corner somewhere and things will slow down. I think I'm fooling myself.<BR/><BR/>Ashlee, not sure. A little from column a, a little from b. No, just kidding. I am worst case scenario mom all the way. I mean, really. I'll think about what happens if I'm simultaneously attacked by two wild animals on a mountain with Boogs and Kiki, what do I do. Not kidding.<BR/><BR/>Hairline-its funny how stuff like that finds its way into our dreams. Same thing happens to me.<BR/><BR/>Krissy, thanks for stopping by. I'll have to check you out.<BR/><BR/>Meg, I don't think of Project Runway as fluff because I find it very creative. I like Top Model for the same reason, I could skip around the catty junk that happens but I want to see the photo shoot and the after photos. I LOVE that. But I'm a photo nerd so...<BR/><BR/>Jen-I'm with you<BR/><BR/>David, I agree too. I liked that she tagged it that way. And she's right, so many of the shows at that time of night are that kind of show. I do like these shows, I've loved Law and Order but I just can't take the sounds and scenes of women and children being hurt and murdered.... yet, isn't odd that I watch Dexter? I cover my eyes and he only kills other serial killers so I think I make peace with that.Sister Sassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15579850974867756364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245589515098482899.post-79315786130319964692008-05-12T20:43:00.000-04:002008-05-12T20:43:00.000-04:00Her description of ``murder shows'' is interesting...Her description of ``murder shows'' is interesting!david mcmahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009095220051075552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245589515098482899.post-75834875407033982232008-05-12T15:24:00.000-04:002008-05-12T15:24:00.000-04:00I'm a total wimp on horror anything.

I can NOT watch Without a Trace b/c it plays on my deepest fear of abduction of my children. Whew! <BR/><BR/>I've really enjoyed reading your blog.

I agree that the ones about children getting hurt are too scary. Some of the ones about a woman getting killed are not too intense for me if I wouldn't be in that situation--like a showgirl gets murdered in a casino. But a suburban mom gets attacked in her home...yeah, that would give me bad dreams. I had to stop watching The Sopranos because it was just too violent--I'd dream about it every time.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065962367181064516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245589515098482899.post-60357024806792332742008-05-12T10:17:00.000-04:002008-05-12T10:17:00.000-04:00I am a Law and Order addict.

They are on three different channels, so you can practically watch it all day if you feel so inclined. {I don't} The only problem I have with them is that I have an overactive imagination and so I am now a paranoid mommy. I worry my child is going to be abducted by a creep, or something bad is going to happen to him when he gets off the bus. If he isn't home by 4:15 I immediately assume there's something wrong. It's always just been that the bus was running late, but I can't help but have that panicky feeling. The world is turning into a yucky place and Law and Order brings it right into my home. Am I a more aware parent or should I turn it off so that I don't freak out as much?

I do like suspense and I know that they "pluck" those shows from the headlines, but I hear ya when it comes to that kind of stuff. I refuse to watch horror movies because evil comes from one place so why would I glorify that, right? I like the Hallmark channel and I am proud of it and if anyone don't like it I'll kick their butt (last part to be manly) Anyway, that's my thoughts!Wade Huntsingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00213121284531111966noreply@blogger.com
