Most Powerful Shows Once On TV

Repost

Missing on TV are shows which inspired people to think. They were made possible through the excellently informed skills of the writers and actors who appeared in them. I really, really, really wish more of these kind of shows were in the pipeline ahead. Sadly there are not. As a result Americans are worse off for it. They not only entertain but inform.

And they did it a hellva lot better job of it then the channels on TV masquerading as cable news these days with their blathering overpaid performers. Make no mistake about it. That's exactly what these news anchors and guests are--performers having little-to-nothing to do with responsible journalism. They spend 10% of their time reporting the news. Then go on to talk about what they just reported spending 90% of the remaining time explaining their version of what we just heard and what we should think. Yeah like we're some sort of a bunch of idiots incapable of formulating an opinion without their expertise.

The following shows were designed for thinking people to ponder. Unlike the cable news channels who assume their viewers are uninformed idiots who need explaining. That's why I so sincerely miss these and other shows like them. They're practically timeless. Most of the issues they addressed are still the ones we face today.

The USS Florida (November 2019)

I'm a bit surprised the Navy granted permission to film. On the other hand I doubt anyone has a clue how all these systems work with what was shown in this video.

"I need to write things down, so I'll remember them."
(I wrote that one down a week ago to remind myself , but forget where I put it.)

At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in for.
