Hi all,

Anyone ever notice how non-assertive and dysfunctional television programs are? Not to mention just plain rediculous? I mean I was watching a soap the other day, and I could watch once a year and they'd still be rehashing the same story line. Handsome guy is torn between two women and can't decide between the one that drugged and raped him so she could have his baby, which was supposed to be the implanted egg/sperm from him and his wife so she could steal the kid she had with him before he got married and keep the baby she was carrying without giving it to him and his wife as she had told them she would, in exchange for her son. (deep breath) The two women are at each others throats, his wife steals the new baby and runs off with it. The rapist gal keeps apealing to the handsome guy, saying they should be together because of 'fate'. HA!!!
You know, they're funny, but how much do kids and even adults take away from these shows?
I actually try to put myself in their place and think what I would do if I was assertive instead of aggressive or passive. It works, although I sometimes have to be creative to get out of the messes these poor folks get into. And I get a good laugh.
CSI is another good one. The other night a little girl turned psycho because she wanted the neighborhood cat lady to give her a cat and stabbed her with a pen. There HAS to be a better solution to that issue!!! I mean come on!

Have you read the papers lately or have seen the 11 pm news? Heck, some of the real life issues closely resembles those dysfunctional shows. I understand what you mean though. You would think common sense would kick in.

Well....people unfortunatly mimick what they see on TV. LOL
