FAHQ, you have it, utterly, in a nutshell.

We're not the only ones pissed off at the massive disconnect between the ivory-tower crowd and the real world, and the crap programming that results.

Many Italians are so totally fed up with this complete and utter garbage they plan to stage a mass protest, and I say we follow their example.

The only reason I even have a TV now is for my PS2 and DVD player, cause I ain't watchin NONE of this crap.

The sad thing is, Fox greenlights a LOT of great shows, but once they're on the air, they don't know how to handle them. The most recent example is Arrested Development, which I believe Fox has actually given a full season to, despite its low ratings. I think the thing Fox doesn't seem to get is that great shows often need a bit of time to get going, for people who are used to the same old stuff on TV to notice and start watching. Maybe they're finally starting to learn, but it's just a couple years too late.

Lets' push that power button on the remote for a minute and come back to reality.

Now for the important thing-We have a President and government that is steadily eroding our rights every day in the name of patriotism. We have American businesses laying off thousands of U.S. workers every week in order to farm out jobs overseas where people work for "peanuts" and the government tells us the economy is improving.

After trying to pre-order on Amazon, I pre-ordered on Best Buy - ha! They sold out before they shipped any pre-orders. So I cancelled.

Fortunately I had also pre-ordered on Amazon - got that set AND ordered a second for a friend.

(he's basically a poor man's version of dan quayle, only without quayle's "smarts"). i can only tolerate so much hypocrisy, how about y'all?

sorry about the angst, amazon.com STILL hasn't delivered my dvd's.

I would really like to see your point of view, but I cant get my head up my butt.

Dude.

Why do you think we so desperately want our escapist entertainment back?

Me personally, I want to avoid having to be all heavy about world events all the time.

You're getting pretty insulting there. Most of us aren't responding to your post because it's way off the topic of this thread. I respectfully suggest that if you want to discuss those issues, you start a new thread and not try to force this one to change course.

Better go online and check out your shipping history - I think all pre-orders were sent on the 9th. I have had good luck with orders from Amazon but there was one with shipping problems - they reshipped immediately when my order never arrived.
