Arvoitus 1 #1 August 13, 2012 Is TLC really the acronym for the phrase 'The Learning Channel'? I find it hard to believe if they're running shows like this. From the comments : QuoteDad, age 40. Mom, age 32. Oldest daughter, 17. Learning time! Mom was 15 when said daughter was born, and Dad was 23. We can assume that this means a 22 year-old man was "making love" with a 14 year old. 'MURICA! I guess there is something that can be learnt from this kind of TV-programming.Your rights end where my feelings begin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #2 August 13, 2012 Yeah, it used to have good stuff. Lately, more and more crap are showing up. I think Toddlers and Tiaras have been on it or some similar bullshit. That is the stupidest show I have ever seen.

BillyVance 34 #4 August 13, 2012 Quote Get a newer TV...they come with an on/off switch these days! Actually, I don't watch much TV anymore. But, when I do, I channel-surf in search of something worth watching, and sometimes see something so stupid you can't help but stare at for a few seconds.... like a Jerry Springer episode.

Shotgun 1 #23 August 19, 2012 I have to confess that I watched the first three episodes. And...... I actually like the family. They're not likely to become rocket scientists, but they're funny, they're close to each other, and they seem to be generally happy. And the pet pig is cute. I think the show is appealing because people like to look down on others, but I honestly saw no reason to look down on them after watching it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
