I find it completely opposite "degraded" as it's more informative and actual medical procedures showing people actually getting medical help. Now, if you want to point out degraded, how about the 3 dozen "cop/crime drama/murder mystery/ambulance chaser/"reality" court room shows or the multiple scripted "reality" series involving all manner of BS offered as "real life" but offered as "entertainment"... It's a no wonder our kids (and some adults) can't tell what's real and what isn't.My first wife asked me for a divorce because our life wasn't "real" like the TV shows she was addicted to and watched from waking till bed time. I did all the cooking, all the cleaning, helped the kids with homework and took care of them. She was a $hitty wife and mother. She did however improve 100% after the divorce was final... She was no longer a $hitty wife. I got sole custody of three very young kids while on active duty in the Navy. She wanted her "freedom" from all responsibility. That's reality.
ETA: Sorry Mike, thought this was on my thread. will delete the above if you wish. Let me know.


Would have loved to see folks reactions to that. Must admit GB, you do have a great sense of humor!
