I didn’t say you were a problem. It’s an objective fact that kids shows exist because kids watch them.

wrong, but cool brash statement.

How is that wrong? If no one watched these shows, I don’t think the networks would be producing them.

you are making the exact kind of brash statement i fault NDG and Bill Nye for making all the time (and that makes me sigh). It is missing the nuance of the truth. This is a chicken and egg situation, and obviously, kids couldn’t have watched shows that didn’t exist, so of course that isn’t why they exist. they exist due to a combination of people wanting to entertain/educate children, and children watching them.

I was talking about a specific show and made a jab at it that I found humorous and now I’m having to defend it as both parenting advice and commentary on the business model of network television. Perhaps everyone took my statement to seriously. Is that possible?

you asked me for clarification, indicating you cared. I on the other hand, don’t care.

Bill Nye is an embarrassment. I never watched him growing up so I don’t get the love for him.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a fairly neat guy. I like him but I also feel like he says too much dumb s***.

They both make the mistake of liking to sound smart. And ignoring the fact that there is a lot of uncertainty in everything when they make their brash statements.

Polytheistic religions just seeing multiple advanced beings and calling them all gods because thats how they interpret them, and the one God most believe in May well just be one of them.

In fact, Paul went to Rome, where they had a monument to the “unknown god”, just to hedge their bets to make sure they didn’t leave any god(s) out at risk of angering them, and he told them that that god is actually God Himself.

JEDIT: Wait, I read your post wrong. You’re saying the ancient polytheistic gods might have existed and if so been like the Stargate Goa’uld?

Ah yes, The Stargate documentaries were great.

I was underwhelmed through most of it.

I’m sorry this is all I read and you’re wrong.

To be fair, it’s the only season I’ve not rewatched. I just never had the desire to. But I’ll definitely be watching the “remix.”

no one needs to be fair. It was underwhelming.

In comparison to what? The first three seasons aka possibly the greatest comedy in television history? That’s a high bar.

it is a high bar. That is why it was underwhelming. I mean, when it is season 4 of the same series, i feel completely justified in comparing it to the previous seasons. And it was very lacking in my mind.

I think a lot of it for me is that it didn’t have as much continuation of the previous seasons’ jokes. The first three seasons all built on each other. What i remember of Season 4 was that it didn’t have that aspect, and i really found that to be a detraction in my enjoyment of it. I am sure if i watched it more it might improve, but why would i when i have the first three seasons on DVD and watch them often?

When it comes out so far after, you kinda have to take it on its own. It could never be the direct continuation (narratively and creatively) of what came before.

I can do what I want. But I think I understand your point.
