Mary Scheidegger's Comments

I agree; some kind of comparison was necessary rather than pointing and saying "bad, bad".

@masada...I think the timing of the posting this video may have something to do with the current (well, recently ended) negotiations between NFL players and owners. IIRC, one of the terms they were negotiating was better healthcare and compensation for former players. Kinda...'we get our brains beat out making billions of dollars for you, you help us when we can no longer function.'

I doubt that much has changed; people just have a larger target at which to aim their hatred.

I also think it might have something to do with context. I know that I have inadvertently almost started flame-wars because of a comment I have made, which was not understood in the way I meant it to be. Trying to explain my point of view without the other people understanding (or understanding that the original comment might have been said in jest; again, context) only fanned the flames larger, until I felt it necessary to just drop the whole conversation. Of course, there are people out there who say inflammatory things just to watch the ensuing coniption fits. I don't believe there are more of those types of people now (born troublemakers?), they just have a larger audience.

Maybe, maybe not, @GailPink. Back in the day the networks were more willing to give a show time to develop. They probably also were more thrifty in the sense of "it's been filmed, why not use it?" Heck--people only had three or four other choices of what to watch, so the ratings were probably way higher than a "bad" show today.

Also, one would have to argue about what makes a show "worst". Bad production quality, poor actors, or just stupid premise?
