I've grown up in the UPCI, and I will admit....we have become very lax. I guess you could say that we aren't as strict as we once were.

Let me know how you like it. I don't know when they will carry Season Four. Pretty lengthy - Season One is 582 minutes, Season two is 719, Season three is 720 and Season Four is 720. LOL!

If you haven't seen Emma with Romola Garai, it's my favorite. I like it better than the others. Although the one with Kate Beckinsale is great too! Costuming, scenery, script - it's great! The one with Gwyneth Paltrow is my third choice, although it is also very done well.

If it is a British movie - I probably own it.

Have you seen 'Wives and Daughters'? 'Cranford'?

I think it is because you state your opinions as fact.
I believe that you can look intelligent and maintain a stance against setting anything evil before your eyes.
Whether it's on TV, on your computer, or in your hands as print.

Then get rid of you computer, as the EVIL that is online is far worse than TV. I can prove this beyond the shadow of ANY doubt, and as a FACT! I can also prove that Video Games are far more addictive and dangerous than TV.

Then you might say, you choose to not look at the EVIL on the Internet, and so, people say they will not look at EVIL on TV.

The banishment of TV is over. How long will people hold onto this Sacred Cow?

I was told from a reliable source (an employee of WEC), that the UPCI manual will change with the next few years. Many things will be omitted. I live and attend church in the St. Louis area!

What are you, the salesmen for Zenith?
Sorry if have the company wrong, but I don't know who makes tv's!!
You keep your tv and I'll keep my four year old who can read the Bible and has been able to since he was three.
Let me tell you TV can be one of the biggest wasters or time there is.
So can the internet, video games and anything else you let take control of you.
Why are you so determined to lobby for the liberation of TV?

Yes, I own them also! My sister recommended Cranford. I called her and said, "Good Lord, these people are nosy!"

Have you seen Little Dorrit (Claire Foy)? Keep in mind it's Charles Dickens, so it will be a little dark.

Bleak House (Anna Maxwell Martin)? Really liked it, also a Charles Dickens. Haven't purchased it yet.

North & South is good. Purchased that.

Middlemarch - liked it.

Have about 30 good Christmas movies that I like. I guess I won't list them. LOL!

Yuck for The Buccaneers and the The Mayor of Casterbridge.

I keep editing this post. LOL! I have every Oliver Twist that has been made. I love Oliver!

I'm sure you're not insinuating that those of us who have tvs don't have children who can read the Bible.

I don't think that anyone is lobbying for the liberation of tv, it's just that in this age the double-standard has become frustrating. People will absolutely CONDEMN people for having television, and then go watch American Idol on their computers. That gets really irritating.

Every argument that's used in favor of the internet and movies on dvd can be applied to television. Use it wisely. Change the channel. Turn it off. Don't watch junk. USE WISDOM. Why is television excluded from these guidelines?
