Why would anyone have problems with the existance of PBS? Am I missing something here?

The only gripe I ever had with them were the 20 min. commercial breaks between 10. min movie showings.

It's a right-wing thing.

Post by: Shuckins on September 23, 2007, 09:31:00 PM: Actually, it's a right-wing thing brought on by a left-wing thing.

But don't quote me on that.

Post by: Irwink! on September 23, 2007, 09:37:05 PM: Well I just finished watching the first installment. So far I don't feel that I've been subverted by any left wing agenda. They must be slicker and more coniving than I thought.

Post by: scottydawg on September 24, 2007, 09:41:39 PM: Just watched the second episode, missed the first one. Grr.

Really well done, some unbelievable footage, and very powerful and immersive stories. Gets a little slow at times, but overall a fantastic documentary.

I understand there are 7 episodes, 2 hours each, no commercials. Ya?

People expecting "Saving Private Ryan" style movie will be disappointed.

Left-wing/right-wing ~ whatever. their children's programming is incredible.

as rpm said...

as long as they don't become like the BBC we are all good though :aok

and as TXmom said childerns programming is good. I don't know if they still show re-runs of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, but I hope they do. oh and I hope they don't get all "PC" with sesame street as I heard they had cookie monster eating vegetables. :furious :lol

Post by: lazs2 on September 25, 2007, 08:38:01 AM: I have no problem at all with the existence of PBS... I just don't think that we should have money extorted from us (taxes) go to pay for any of it.

Post by: Irwink! on September 25, 2007, 08:43:00 AM: They're alot of things that I don't like having taxes extorted from me to pay for. Of all the many things on the list PBS certainly isn't at or even near the top of that list.

Post by: lazs2 on September 25, 2007, 08:59:01 AM: no.. nor mine either.. but, it is a simple one and a clear abuse. It should be easy to rectify and then we can move upward from there.
