Making people vomit is not a new concept in tv programing.
Filming people vomiting isn’t either. Programs such as “fear factor”
and “big brother” have already done it.
I went to the track today for my morning exercise and decided to ask others there what they thought of such a show. The initial reaction was disbelief. After being convinced it was a real show, all ten or
fifteen said they thought it was disgusting, sick, and pathetic.
They all placed such a show on the intellectual level of a seven year old.

Just because a person of lesser intelligence than yourself will watch this show, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it too. And it certainly doesn’t mean that the show itself will not have any intelligence. But then again, I’m not really one to judge a book by its cover.

The last time I posted here I had been to a party and was a little tipsy from one too many Jim Beams. I only partly read the original blog before posting.

Don’t drink and post.

I now believe a show like this is right for
todays America. I saw a clip from a so-called reality show of two educated Americans having a conversation.
This is how it went. “I was like you know, you know. And you know.” The response to this from the other person was. “Yeah, Dude!” There were many more “you knows” separated with little more than the f word. This was a twenty-seven year old college student talking to a twenty-nine year old public relations man. These two seem to represent the average today. So,
a show like this will probably be a success.

I am rather excited to see this new Hurl show on G4. Yeah, it’s about vomit. But how many people can make an interesting show about vomit? I’d have to say, not many. And if G4 thinks it is entertaining enough to be part of their “new look”, then doesn’t that make it something to be seen? I think everyone should check this out because there is nothing else like this on TV and there never has been. That is what makes this groundbreaking to me.

I’m in my 50’s. I remeber those old shows. They were part of my life growing up. They are far better than the “ground breaking” garbage of today.
That is why I post to a brady bunch group..
I have probably seen more vomit than the poster. Doesn’t mean I want to watch it On tv. What has always got me about hollywood. You think that watching someone “vomit” is ground breaking. I don’t
want to see your fake vomit. I see enough of the real thing. Go out, get a job where you see the real thing and you won’t be so preocupied with the fake.l

With new programing like that it’s no wonder people keep asking me for a return to shows like The Brady Bunch. Thanks for the update Bob. BW

Glad we have the classics and would much rather see a great new sitcom, but also glad that a show like this is allowed to happen, whether you think it should or not.

Problem with a show like this, aside from the obvious, is that the novelty will wear off. That said, I’ll probably check it out. Thanks for the tip Bob!

I think I will have to skip THAT show – I am one of the squeamish. At least I have enough foresight to turn my head at the car scene in “The 40 Year-old Virgin”. Have seen it often enough to know when it is “coming up” – excuse the pun

I am horrified at the thought of such a program. Thank goodness for TV Land, where Rob and Laura, Lucy and Ricky, and Andy and Barney continue to entertain us with warmth and charm.
