Title: NBC's "West Wing" becomes fair and balanced
Post by: ra on August 23, 2004, 12:20:43 PM: "Alan Alda is returning to series television. The five-time Emmy winner will join the cast of NBC's White House drama "The West Wing" next season, playing a Republican from California with presidential aspirations. "

It's about time.

Title: NBC's "West Wing" becomes fair and balanced
Post by: Ripsnort on August 23, 2004, 12:27:41 PM: If memory serves me correct, Alan is a liberal, and will do his best (or the writers will do their best) to make Repubs look evil. Just another saga in the "Goebbel lives!" brainwashing of America.

Unfortunately our society has a hard time decifering the truth of what they watch on tv and real life.

I'd rather not waste my time on television, lifes too short. I'd rather spend time target shooting with my son (The long-haired realistic targets with "Liberal" spray painted across the chest are the bestest targets evar!)

Post by: Mickey1992 on August 23, 2004, 01:08:40 PM: I stopped watching West Wing last year when it stopped being about DC politics and suddenly became all about people getting shot or kidnapped. It's like they wanted it to be more like Fox's "24". Maybe I will start watching again.

Make sure to teach him to critisize things with which he has no experience too.

Typical "hate" reply.

If someone posted they were going target shooting with Bush likenesses, you would see no humor at all. I see no humor in this, just hate. But what do I know, I'm a Liberal.

Boy if you couldn't see the sarcasm in that post, you'd better have them up the medication...

Post by: SOB on August 23, 2004, 02:40:23 PM: 'Cause it's a free country, and different people have different senses of humor?

Hope you're working on that reading disorder. Meanwhile I must prepare for the next Civil war. ;)

Post by: rpm on August 23, 2004, 02:47:30 PM: Ah, the free country defense. Substiture the word "Liberal" with any other group and the hate is obvious, i.e. Jewish, Cop, African-American, ect.
Hey, let's stick to the subject and not become a hate group. Reasonable enough?

Sports, History channel. Guilty sir! (And occasional evening news to laugh at the spin)

Almost 16,000 posts. I'm sure you could download and watch an episode rather than posting for an hour. :)

Does he make a good target? Or does he just sit there?

Skuzzy , you know these guys will argue about anything. that is kind of what makes it all so entertaining, reading these boards.
Like a never ending novel with multiple authors, you just never know which way the story will unfold.

setting politics aside. Alan Alda has made me laugh alot through the years on M.A.S.H. , I might have to watch the West Wing show to see if he can still make me laugh. if he doesn't make me laugh, I know where the off button is. no harm done.
