television's views

[Dominus Nudo]

I was watching the ABC family channel for a total of half an hour yesterday and I noticed a few things. On the show "Braceface" (which I dislike for several reasons) there was a conversation between some adolescent boys who were taking a hike. One of them knew a whole lot about pine cones and stuff, and the other thought he was "cool" so he asked how he knew all this. The response was: "My dad's a major naturalist," then "Oh, I thought he was a nudist."

Of course this has to do with the confusion between "Naturalist" and "Naturist"

During a commercial break there was a sillohuette (pleeze excyoose mi speling (BTW, how is that spelled? Sillohette?) of a couple sitting on a dock. Now, this was a color film of it, and it appeared that they were clothes free. I don't know what this was about, possibly just a "turn-on."

The third (and final) thing I saw watching the last half of "Who's line is it, Anyway?" This is probably fairly irrevevant, and it doesn't show the views of the actors (watch the show yourself). But (can't spell his name) the tall guy who plays louis on the drew carey show, was making the impression of an angry neighbor, yelling at one of the other actors for running around in their home naked (this is fictional, he probably doesn't. Like I said, just watch the show once, you'll get laughs at how random it is.)

Now, what does everyone have to say about this? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Hey Dominus!
I think you are on to a trend.
Let me offer an example to go with yours:
In January 2002, I saw an episode of "Designing Women" in which Annie Potts and one the other ladies were talking about nudists. They said something to the effect that it was not for them, but that there was nothing wrong with it and they didn't see why everyone made such a big deal about it.

That certainly is a better attitude than we have seen in other years.
