    This is exactly why, once upon a time, TV sitcoms were so outlandish and fantastic: to offer the people a form of escape from the grim reports that plagued TV news every night, especially during such a tumultuous decade like the 1960s; it’s how we ended up with such gems as THE ADDAMS FAMILY, THE MUNSTERS, BEWITCHED, I DREAM OF JEANNIE, and the like. Nowadays, it’s like networks want “sitcoms” to be just as grim and dreary as the world around us is today, with unlikable jerkass characters who obsess over their sex lives (or lack thereof), because it supposedly makes shows “more believable” and “more relatable.” Give me any of the aforementioned shows, plus I LOVE LUCY, THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, GREEN ACRES, M*A*S*H, HOGAN’S HEROES, THE ODD COUPLE, or SANFORD AND SON over any of the garbage on TV any day.

    When was news ever not distressing? Even in the golden age of journalism, before which channel you watched became so politicized, the rule was still, “If it bleeds, it leads.”

    You’re so right, Frank.

    In fact, the only “news” worth watching these days is SNL’s Weekend Update.

    Especially when Jost and Che do the “joke swap” thing. ;-)

    The news has always been grim reports, likely sprinkled with occasional good news.

    Those three words? What the Hell (shrugs shoulders). Whacha gonna do about it?

    Meanwhile, yesterday on “Today”…

    Later this evening on “Tonight”…

    Today on “Tomorrow”…

    An hour from now on “60 Minutes”…

    .

    Nothing on the 6 o’clock news, and no film at 11.

    The problem with modern televised news reports is that too many broadcasters feel they have to insert their opinion(s) in the story. Just give me the facts, I can make up my own mind on the topic. It’s gotten to the point that Don Henley’s song “Dirty Laundry” has become a training guide for the “news folks”. ♫We can do “The Innuendo”, we can dance and sing. When it’s said and done, we haven’t told you a thing. We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry!♫ …it’s all facocta.

    Guess the news affects Frank depending on which mood he is in. Coupla Sundays ago, he tried using the news to engage Luann in something to talk about.

    News is supposed to be the facts, as in: who, what, where, when, why and how. Today’s so-called “news” shows are actually thinly disguised op-ed shows (left or right, one is as bad as the other), so I don’t watch them. I just read the headlines on-line, and I might click on one or two to read the story(ies) trying to edit out the op-ed parts.

    Of course, since I lived in Florida from 1981 through almost the end of 2020, working for local governments as a city or county planner, the latest news about Hurricane Ian is painful to watch. It has quickly been replaced today on the major networks by various sports shows and even the Weather Channel seems to have gone back to its usual programming. I’ve been able to access some of the online newspapers from Central Florida, and the County where Iived and worked (Seminole, which is northeast of Orlando) is really in trouble. As floodwaters recede elsewhere in the state, they rise in Seminole, because they drain to the rivers in that county. So far, 2,000 homes in that little county have been damaged by floodwaters. Anyone who is looking to help should consider donating to charities that will help Hurricane Ian survivors. Please…

    Sometimes when you get overwhelmed with the negativity nothing but a nap will do. I try not to dwell on it. But I do feel very sorry for our larger cities these days. So many seem to have fallen.

    So will Stef have the room all to herself, then? I can’t imagine the university would give Tiff a refund this close to the school year starting. If so, she’ll be thrilled, no more need for the Privacy Hut.. just lock the door.

    I see Bets isn’t very sympathetic to Tiff’s situation as long as there’s the chance of getting a good vid for her channel.

    Do we think they’ll try to talk her into staying??

    I haven’t watched/followed the news in about 2 1/2 years. It just makes me sick/angry – still can’t get away from it though. The only time I pay any attention is when a hurricane is heading for Florida and even then, I go to the weather channel online or my local news app and I’m signed up for alerts; I don’t watch in on TV
