Author Topic: Gotti Family Reality Series on A & E Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 07-30-2004 06:26 PM                     Personally, I am fed up with being bombarded with all of these "reality tv" series! Now, the Arts and Entertainment Cable Network is stooping to an all time low! A new "reality" series is set to air glorifying the famuily of that John Gotti...who was nothing more than a murdering thug that was an embarrassment to the Italian-American community! I can only hope that the families of Gotti's victim's...some of who were in no way related to "organized crime" can maybe get their hands on some of $$ this shit "family" is about to make! The impression one gets when watching the previews to this is that this family is nothing but low-life scum...just like their deceased father!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-30-2004 06:49 PM                     I don't suppose it ever occured to you to exercise your freedom of choice. Change the channel!  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 07-30-2004 06:56 PM                    That's why I like to watch channels like TV land. I can catch up on all the old shows I missed when the president was on all the channels. (No cable when I was growing up)  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 07-30-2004 08:20 PM                     Ya Brad I do excersise my freedom of choice by not watching that crap! However, it is disgusting that this "family" should be glorified, or that they should be allowed to make money off of their crimes, basically drugs, murder, racketeering, etc!  |  IP: Logged R.

And why not with movies like The Godfather and Goodfellas? We movie folks helped glorify their crimes first. Most Americans don't see this as real, it happened somewhere else. Besides, nobody really thinks "Reality TV" is reality.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-01-2004 05:12 PM                     Actually I think the ASPCA folks on those shows on Animal Planet are great... They rescue, treat and put up for adoption many neglected animals and then put the low life scumbag folks behind bars for neglecting/abusing them. These reality shows are great because its real life stuff, not those make believe reality shows where you eat a pound of maggots or make like your a chimp or something..... those are a joke. I would rate TV land a close second to the ASPCA people though, I grew watching many of those great shows.

I have no problem with reality shows. At least reality shows dont get much syndication . It's just that a lot of people seem to identify with these morons instead of laughing at them. Jessica Simpson actually has fans instead of most people watching it out of morbid fascination. Same with Paris. Trump is being idolized by a new generation after being a joke in the 80s.  |  IP: Logged
