View Full Version : TV shows that go anti gun etc..
OK used to like Grimm but now its seeming to go more anti gun all the time ?
seems other shows have to like black list etc...
kinda burnt out and recently just quit watching shows like that ?
used to be more the whatever and still am if its subtle but when it starts to become a part of the show I kinda loose interest as you then are not watching a show but are watching idiocy :)
some movie stars same way wont bother watching that old dude who married madonna and was that spicole character ? forgot his name at the moment as that is how much I care ;) hahaha
the bourne series I like even though that guy is a freaking tool
but also the movies IMHO do not go into it like TV shows ? where the message is constantly pushed
like the recent caprio movie was a good flick even though he is personally a TOOL
for me its more just TV shows than movies :)
curious what any of you other folks do ?
quit watching the show ?
or the who cares its a TV show etc.. :)
dont even watch movies with tools anymore etc..
just curious :)

I don't know, TWD, FTWD, and Z-Nation seem to be pretty pro-gun! :p
In all seriousness, I don't watch TV except for PBS kid shows with my son. I can't stand TV or even the commercials. If a show peeks my interests I simply rent them by season. I haven't had cable in years and will never again.
More people need to unplug from the mass media machine. .
For movies I'm all in, if I didn't watch a film directed by, written by, staring, some ****tard jellyfish Marxist then I'd never be able to watch anything. A lot of actors I would never cross the road to urinate on their face if it was on fire but I'll watch a movie depending upon the subject matter.

Remember when gay characters first started appearing a few years ago? It was pretty shocking at the time, but now it is accepted as "the new normal." The concept is called mainstreaming. The shows will have plots about what ever social issue the left wants to jam down our throats until they finally get what they want. They are playing the long game, taking a decade to move the country, an issue at a time.

Loved this episode.
One of the best "family" comedy shows on TV. Good messages, pretty conservative mentality base, and they show LOTS of cool old/replica guns in the background of Ed's office.
I dunno, my girlfriend is into "Foster's" right now, and while I know it's just a show, it kinda irks me that they portray all gun violence as a mental disorder.
But, meh, we gotta deal with how the media portrays society and societal issues. Not saying we should have to, but we gotta in our current situations.

Ed's History of Asskicking, felt-backed gun display is freaking awesome.
I absolutely love this show. My favorite episode is where Chuck Larabee schools Ryan on dissing the flag.
That and the one where Mandy discovers that ham radio is like Twitter, "only more advanced because you don't have to type."
Yep, Last Man Standing is awesome.

Grimm? Is that the show where everyone morphs into some type of stupid looking goblin or werewolf? I think it comes on before dateline 20/20, I wish it would be cancelled. If only they would be anti shit cgi, and anti fairy tale goblins. Because then it would be cancelled.
People need to keep in mind that all of these tv shows are made for people with an IQ below room temp. Shitty plots, Shitty acting, pretty much all around garbage. Go watch a documentary or read a book.

Luckily, the few shows that I watch were all about guns, like "Banshee" on Cinemax. I'd definitely bag it if any show started with the anti message.
Side note, went from going to Chipotle three times a week to none when they caved to the moms demand action/Bloomberg pressure to make anti-gun statement. Really miss my chicken burrito and chips but not enough to ever give them another dollar.

Say what you will, but this girl got me hooked on the "Mindy Project" and she is uber conservative. If you watch enough of it you'll pick up on little comments like:
She has a crush on "that old guy Bob Dole"
She's talking to a college student who's afraid of living by herself and she, genuinely, suggests buying a gun.
Slams Obama left and right.
Gets pissed off when people are on welfare.
Seconded on Mindy Kaling. Good God y'all.... She reminds me of this one bougie girl I know who is just amazing. Turns out Mindy Kaling's brother is an anti-Affirmative Action activist so yeah.
While I don't care much about the guns on the show, I watch Last Man Standing solely for the black haired Bettie Page looking daughter. That's my damn Kryptonite.
Otherwise there aren't too many shows I watch except for old reruns of shows or movies on the antennae channels. Or old reruns of JAG which can be lame but that dark haired amazon Major Catherine Bell....good god. Like when she first started on the show and had a gruffer voice and that sorta girl mullet. OMG.
I do miss Strike Back though. Otherwise, I don't watch much TV because everything is so lame.

This.
There was this one show that started recently, and even though I'm not a fan of shows that support certain agendas, the first couple episodes were brilliant.
By the end of the season, it's turned into nothing but blatant agenda pushing, so I won't be returning if it runs another season.
Game of Thrones sure is anti-gun. You never see firearms on that show.

He wouldn't bring me a toy I was asking for one day, just sniffed around the pile and then looked at me confused. Did this three or four times until I realized I was using the wrong damned name.

I'm shocked that show is still on. After they killed off that dark headed girl it got lame. Yeah Abby is okay but not as interesting as she was literally 10 years ago.
The one cop show I totally loved (which is exceedingly rare for me) was Flashpoint.
It wasn't stupid. It was actually pretty intelligent, especially in the first 2 seasons. It showed you HOW people got in the jams they had created for themselves. The popo guns were pretty standard(most people got Remington'd) and it wasn't so much anti-gun as anti-criminal. I thought dude recognizing the flute marks from a spent 308 case as being from an HK G3 was a nice touch.
And a lot of times nobody got shot at all. They showed that it wasn't always black and white. The one where the guy holds up the hospital to get his daughter a heart transplant stands out(this is in Toronto, Canada, mind you, with all that "free" healthcare).

It is doubtful that anyone on this forum watches it, but I will throw it out there anyway. Grey's anatomy is anti-gun, and they went full retard a couple months back with an episode.
Before anyone asks, no I don't watch that crap. My GF loves it, it is her favorite show.

Wasn't that the show with the Pink Ranger?
The Black List is anti gun? What happened there?
Shouldn't every show out of Hollywood be anti-gun by default?
I agree with the above comment about the long game. If you watch any tv you would expect to walk out your door and your next door neighbors would be a dysfunctional family with a strong gay contingent.

Yes. Yes it was. She would Remington 700 your ass too.

Longmire: Making Wyoming the most dangerous place to live since they stopped making a show about Cabot Cove.
And subject to some lazy writing/failures to do research.
Early in the first season, some guy gets whacked with a Sharps and everyone in the episode talks about how they don't make Sharps rifles any more (never mind that there are two manufacturers in Montana alone). Then in the second season there's an almost comical episode with a veteran suffering from PTSD - comical in how inaccurate the depiction of PTSD is. In the same episode, they talk about finding out that a pistol that was used in a murder, and who that pistol is registered to. As though Wyoming has a firearms registry....
I've stopped watching it.

I think I read an article where they did some number crunching and found that if every crime that occurred in Wyoming occurred in Absaroka county (the show's setting) that they would have one murder per season and that if Absorka county were a real place, it would have the highest per capita murder rate in the first world.
I think this is the article: http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/the-body-count-is-longmires-absaroka-county-the-most-murder-plagued-place-on-tv/
Banshee is good.
First ep has something to the effect of "is that the new STI? How did you even get one??".

Yeah thats him. The german guy. I know we have a breadth of age range on this forum but perspective:
80s lads had no google. We listened to what older people said and ran with it. Like drinking soda and pop rocks at the same time would kill you or whatnot.
Kids these days are spoiled with their phones. In my day you had to look it up in a dictionary or take some old guy's word for it.
Like the Nintendo blowjob. There was no internet as it is today. But somehow this ritual was passed along as if it were arcane knowledge. And it worked. Blow on cartridge, game works. EVERYBODY of that generation has blown on an NES cart.
At some point your lips were on that damn cartridge and you blew on it like a Louisiana Colored Man with a harmonica doing the Blues. Because you had to get yo' Contra on.
And now kids can look up shit in China and they want to keep up with the Kardashians.

Don't ask about Inner Sphere affiliations, who knows where that leads.
And since it is fantasy, I sorta...actually would like to entertain the idea that even though it is Z Day plus 5 years that somewhere Black Hills and Surefire would still be open.
Like if you could get to a working phone or computer you could order something and they'd send a lad to deliver on horseback like the pony express.
Clan Wolf checking in.
Also more of an Imperial Guard man myself if talking about Warhammer 40K.
Wait... what was this thread about again ?

Yes Inner Sphere. Once Clans blew up everyone wanted to do Clans and I just wanted to blow shit up in a Marauder or BattleMaster and dispose of all the stupid Clan "rules".
The point of BattleTech was to be a Merc, not join a cult.
I came to BattleTech through MechWarrior 2 and had no idea that there was anything more to BattleTech than the Clans for the longest time.
I was about ten. If I have a twisted sense of honor, you can probably blame the Clans for that.
And then as a teenager, I played MW2: Mercs. I actually thought it was set in a different universe or a completely different (and earlier) era. Right up until hearing the Clan Wolf batchall, after killing a bunch of pirates. Might have even been the perfect way to be introduced to the larger BattleTech universe, as the names of the Great Houses meant nothing to me and the cynicism and grimdark of the life of an Inner Sphere mercenary was quite shocking (at first), compared to being a Clan warrior.

I'm with Firefly, did Battletech before clans and didn't like clans. Personally liked and stayed with Robotech / Palladium megaverse (thanks to Harmony Gold). Just wished the Robotech/Macross/Southern Cross/Genesis Climber Mospeada games were better or actually even ported over to the US market (very few actually were). Shadowrun was cool too. Played the hell outts the Sega Genesis game for it as well.

Comstar here. Just a commo trying to do commo things.
Also, radical inquisition in 40k. Because the ends justify the means.
Wow... This is bringing back some memories.

Thanks to my mother I grew up watching both Bill Alexander and Bob Ross.
But more recently I have had a revelation about Mr. Ross . . .

There are/were a few bad asses in the Entertainment industry. That guy from Nirvana who became a SEAL or Delta or something. Then there that comedian who's a Marine LTC. Rob Riggle I think. He's the cop from The Hangover who's cop car is stolen

The guy from Nirvana, Jason Everman, went Army Special Forces The Rock 'n' Roll Casualty Who Became A War Hero (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/02/magazine/evermans-war.html?_r=0). He was also in Soundgarden for a little while.
Rob Riggle is the shit. Basic Goolging shows he did 9 years active then the rest as a reserve where he retired in 2013 as a Public Affairs Officer. During the whole "Code Pink" thing at Berkeley he, as part of the Daily Show, it was killer. He is still actively involved in veterans issues. Rob Riggle Goes to Berkeley (http://www.cc.com/video-clips/9fgyc6/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-marines-in-berkeley)
Jason is a good friend :) known him since HS days great guy and he gets crap that is not deserved by people that do not know him sadly !
whats interesting is his kinda nemesis Ben became the full time bass player for Soundgarden also from the same HS :)
Kris Kristofferson and James Arness were two legit badasses also.

Then there's Steve Buscemi, who was a volunteer firefighter and just showed up at a station on 9/11 to do whatever they needed, and didn't tell anyone after the fact.
And Chuck Norris who was, of course, USAF.

Kris was a ranger and a helicopter pilot. His parents were more bad ass. They disowned him when he chose to leave the military

Buschemi was a full time fire fighter but left to get into acting. During 9/11 he returned to his old house, geared up and went to work.

Yeah that's crazy. His dad was a General, iirc.
As for James Arness, his WWII decorations per wiki...
His decorations include the Bronze Star Medal, the Purple Heart,[1] the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with three bronze battle stars, the World War II Victory Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge.[8]
I think I read somewhere he earned the Purple Heart from being on the business end of an MG42, but I could be mistaken on that part of it.

Use to be most actors/musicians were Veterans; Lee Marvin, James Gardner, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, to on and so forth . . .
Never knew about Kris Kristofferson's military accolades. Like Prince, many people don't realize that most of his biggest songs were written for and performed by other well known artist.

Anyone noticed anything in Hell on Wheels? Only thing I have seen was an NYC church where they welcomed Bohannon to stay as long as he was unarmed so he left.
I won't watch them, same as not patronizing an anti gun business.
Bumping this thread...
Anyone watching Last Man Standing notice that the AR SBR (Mk18?) that was mounted on the wall in Ed's office, along with the AK pistol & MP40, has been taken down & replaced with a Thompson SBR?
I wonder if they were taking flak about the AR or if they were just arbitrarily changing up the set.
Luckily, the few shows that I watch were all about guns, like "Banshee" on Cinemax. I'd definitely bag it if any show started with the anti message.
Side note, went from going to Chipotle three times a week to none when they caved to the moms demand action/Bloomberg pressure to make anti-gun statement. Really miss my chicken burrito and chips but not enough to ever give them another dollar.
That kind of shit ****ing annoys me too. Like what does a burrito place have any buisness making political statements anyway? Just STFU and make burritos!
So ABC pulls the plug on Last Man Standing claiming due to reasons of scheduling conflicts.
I call bullshit. Who cancels their second highest show due to scheduling conflicts??
Typical Hollywood crap...

Probably becauseTim Allen made a comment about how careful you have to be in Hollywood as a conservative, on the Kimmel show

Yeah... I can smell the BS from Hollywood on that one all the way in Virginia.
I hardly watch network TV any more. The wife and I will watch stuff like The Voice, and the Mrs. really likes Tom Selleck in Blue Bloods. Seems like a well written show. Working out of my ranch house, I am in and out tending to things that break and critters that need tending to at all hours, so it's hard to spend time watching a complete episode of anything.
I kind of like watching "reality" shows like Deadliest Catch, or some off beat stuff like Alaskan Bush People. Inbred kids with speech impediments running around with guns is always fun to watch. I actually watch it for the scenery.
Another turd of a show (that gives me pure enjoyment) on the Destination America Network is Mountain Monsters. Nothing more American than bearded Hillbillies running around Appalachia at night with rifles, yelling and chasing unseen Big Foots, Red-eyed Sloth Devils and the other usual devilish critters found in West Virginia. I'm starting to wonder if there was some toxic spill that led to the rise of these "Monsters", or those Hillbillies drank contaminated water that fried their brains?
I don't know, TWD, FTWD, and Z-Nation seem to be pretty pro-gun! :p
In all seriousness, I don't watch TV except for PBS kid shows with my son. I can't stand TV or even the commercials. If a show peeks my interests I simply rent them by season. I haven't had cable in years and will never again.
More people need to unplug from the mass media machine. .
For movies I'm all in, if I didn't watch a film directed by, written by, staring, some ****tard jellyfish Marxist then I'd never be able to watch anything. A lot of actors I would never cross the road to urinate on their face if it was on fire but I'll watch a movie depending upon the subject matter.
I disagree. TWD and FTWD are pretty anti gun at times. They try to control access and in TWD they were so screwed up they had a list of every gun in the armory and people had to check guns in and out. The registry bit then in the ass in the end.
