What Am I Watching Right now? MAJOR BREAKING BAD SPOILERS IN HERE!

Depends on how gratuitous it is and how necessary. For instance, the little scene in the BSG miniseries where 6 snaps the little baby's neck (you don't see but you hear the snap and then the baby stops crying) really bothered her.

The nudity, well, we still have our 16-year-old who stays up too late and sometimes walks downstairs "to get a glass of water" or something. If he saw that scene we would never be able to get rid of him.

Your 16-year-old has watched things ONE MILLION times more explicit on the internet.

Maybe, maybe not. Not every 16 year old is the same. I can still monitor his habits a bit, and control things on the wireless router.

Right.

10 minute Misconduct.   

Probably twice a night.

Kid doesn't get Bleu Nuit though, too bad

Bleu Nuit was truly an institution. Kids nowadays have no idea the lengths we used to have to go to for porn. The internet has made today's kids so lazy.

Did I mention he takes 2-3 showers a day?

Ah, remember the scrambled cable channels? A scrambled boob was better than no boob, right? And every once in a while, even if for only a few seconds, the scrambling would be almost non-existent and you could actually see -- except the colors were all messed up, still.

Anyone try to make those home-made descramblers? I think one of them was code-named "Farrah".

Yeah, my buddy had a "black box" that descrambled all the PPV channels. I spent many Saturday nights there watching wrestling PPVs.

Change the thread name to "What did I use to watch?"

The Americans is back with Season 2. I haven't watched the first episode of S02 yet, but the entire first season was really solid.

I'd like to say I've been fairly disappointed with Homeland S3. Haven't watched the last episode even though I've had it for quite a while. And, yeah, I've read the message boards so I know what happens (at the high level) and I guess part of me doesn't really want that to happen, but it's more than just that. Just hasn't been as good.

Yeah, Season 3 of Homeland was kinda whacky. The first season was great...downhill since then. After season 3 it's hard to see where the series is going.
