These posts which tell people not to watch or that the poster isn't watching so you shouldn't are

[PCIntern]

ridiculous, IMHO.

I'm going to watch this because it is in fact a National Event. Afterward, I will render personal judgement as to whether it was worth my time. I read many many posts here which I deem after I've read them as worth not-so-much, but that's ok and part of life.I watched Nixon's speeches after Watergate decrying the investigation and didn't feel that it was an utter waste of time: it's part of the process. If you don't want to watch, then don't. The rest of us can make up our own minds as to what we would like to do and don't really need to be shamed into not watching due to others' opinions or sensibilities.

It isn't a distraction: it's part of the whole, the gestalt, as it were and it is what we have fallen victims to after the sham/travesty/steal of a Federal Election by traitors. I wish to be informed as to every nuance of the potential fall of Democracy. I can make love or walk my dog afterwards.

6. Hall Monitors

Here, there and everywhere.

[dameatball]

7. Exactly. The trick is to multitask:

Watch 60 minutes from recliner

While reading newest book

While laughing at the cat

While sipping Barbancourt on crushed ice

Besides, they don't have Andy Griffith here on Sunday evenings, the rat bastards

[PCIntern]

8. Ed Zachary. nt

33. Try this if you ever get the chance

Of course you can't buy it here because, like with presidents, we can't have nice things.

[dameatball]

49. Closest we have here is Haitian and Dominican....which works for me

42. This is an outrage!!11!!

I mean, no "Andy Griffith." Checking MeTV for DC:

https://www.aol.com/video/guide/tv/over-the-air/lineup/USA-OTA20500/

(20500 is the ZIP code for White House.)

WTTG, the local Fox Broadcasting O&O station (NOT Fox News; there is a difference), carries MeTV on its Channel 5.3. The programming goes right from "Touched by an Angel" (yecchh) to "Columbo." No matter which episode of Columbo that is, I've seen it already. Several times.

Channel 11.2 in Baltimore, ditto.

Sorry. Sometimes there is no justice. Except on channel 9.2, "Justice." All the psychic detectives you'll ever want to see.

[dameatball]

48. It will all be good tomorrow.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

52. It turns out I hadn't seen that episode of Columbo. It was one of the new ones.

It was shown in widescreen. I fell asleep halfway through, so I don't know how the bad person (a woman this time) slipped up.

[hlthe2b]

9. EXACTLY

I'm sure there are many reasons why an individual would choose not to watch, but when I try to reconcile why a DUer would be seemingly working so hard to get the rest of us not to watch, I am flummoxed.

[PCIntern]

10. Yeah. Im not flummoxed.

Like you, I've been here forever. We have seen everything.

[hlthe2b]

11. just walking the "tightrope"

so-to-speak....

[PCIntern]

12. Not I.

I call a spade a bloody shovel

[dameatball]

15. If the flumm oxen had not gone extinct some would watch tv with them and some would eat them

for leftover food may provide nourishment
but you end up smelling like garbage.

20. And by watching, we give Donald Trump a message: Look in the mirror and

see what we see. That is a message that he, as a narcissist, cannot easily understand.

It's important to watch to night, not for what we will learn (probably nothing we don't already know) but for what Trump will learn from the fact that we watch.

[The River]

27. tRump Doesn't

learn or care what other people think.
Mueller is on the case. That's what's important.
Our "opinion", not so much.

[Sophia4]

32. Trump cares very much. He gets his feelings hurt very easily.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

44. "Mueller is on the case. That's what's important." Don't sell yourself short.

You count too. Don't think so? Look at Doug Jones and Lamb. Those outcomes weren't given. They took work. They took money. They took votes.

I think it's swell that Mueller is on the job, but that doesn't mean that I can quit. You can't either.

Don't ever take anything for granted.

[Siwsan]

14. It's no skin off of my nose if someone doesn't watch, and it's none off of theirs if I do

There have been some irritating, and some down right insulting things going back and forth. I finally stopped responding to the most offensive.

Hopefully we can have some good, respectful discussions after the segment ends. Of course I also hope I can teach the cats how to mix me a good Manhattan, so my expectations can be kind of lofty.

[LiberalArkie]

16. I will just wait for the cliff notes.

[TimeToGo]

19. DVR is my friend

I can hear the "reviews," and then if it's nothing . . . but if it's something, I can watch. I can FF through the silliness if it exists, and watch it again and again if it gives me pleasure.

[susanr516]

45. That's why I dropped in to DU this evening

I'm a long time lurker and I almost never post. I also don't watch tv, so I decided to check DU to see if the Cliff Notes version was ready, lol.

[tblue37]

47. You can read the transcript. I do that whenever possible because it is faster, there are no

commercials, and I am heading impaired (I use closed captioning). I am too antsy to sit and watch something I can read in one-fifth the time.

I have read the transcript already.

Link to transcript:

[SCantiGOP]

17. Not to be watching, comrade

Trump is best, no bad on TV is permitted.

[Sophia4]

18. The larger the number of people who watch it, the stupider Trump looks.

There are not likely to be a lot of amazing revelations, but . . . .

just watching is a statement to Trump that he will read correctly and understand. It will say to him: You fool, you stupid fool. We know who you are.

[AllyCat]

21. Watch what? I seriously dont know. At work

[PCIntern]

22. Stormy on 60 Minutes after NCAA nt

[thesquanderer]

23. I didn't get it at first either. 60 Minutes has Stormy Daniels tonight. (n/t)

[askyagerz]

24. I'm gonna have to dig the antenna from the closet

I've seen 1000 little popcorn eating emojis the last year. Now its actual time to make some popcorn people are complaining? Moron assholes being embarrassed on tv is great entertainment

[briv1016]

25. I'm not going to watch because I have a weak gag reflex.

Probably keep an eye on twitter though.

[Trust Buster]

26. Stormys information is currency. She is not going to give out for free to 60 Minutes.

[louis c]

28. Of course I'm going to watch

Put aside the salacious aspects of this interview. Trump, Cohen and perhaps others in Trump's orbit may very well have committed serious crimes in the process.

Add to that the internal pressure Trump is getting at home, and you can just see a "freak out" by the Moron-in-Chief.

I'm guessing Melania is cold as ice, and certainly under Presidential scrutiny and security, Trump can't satisfy his "ego" as he could when he was a private citizen.

Fuck him. I hope he's miserable and rots in hell when the time comes.

[ProudLib72]

29. I forgot to go to the bank on Friday and get a stack of ones

I can't watch the strip tease.

[lunatica]

30. Knowing the truth is the goal

How else can anyone know the truth except to glean it out of all the hype?

[HipChick]

31. Meh...I am watching and chewing gum at the same time...

[TNNurse]

34. I trust the people on here to be smart enough to decide for themselves.

We will not watch, there will be endless repeats and analyses despite what she says.

[iluvtennis]

35. I'll be watching so I can evaluate and form my own opinion.

[wryter2000]

36. DU is a big place

You can guarantee any old thing will be said by someone around here. Why in heaven’s name shouldn’t you watch? Are you supposed to spend that time finding a cure for cancer or something equally important?

[revmclaren]

37. I'll be laughing my ass off while watching for a very important reason...

Here is a TV show featuring tRump as a main player in the drama, and he won't make a penny off from what is going to be a record rating bonanza. This is going to be a slap in his money grubbing anything for a buck face and a pure moment of bliss for me.

Let the games begin...

[magicarpet]

38. Debase and defile the Office of the President...

.... such as the Rethugs have done this time around, with Commander of Sexually Transmitted Disease .... leaves little room for them to criticize anyone ever - down the road.

We have not yet seen how low the bar will go - but the annals of history will not be kind to King Orange of Gonorrhea.

[Duppers]

39. Amen to that!! +100

I've been sick of such condescension for over a decade now - even on another forum. I'm not a child.

I hope "High horse" P reads this.

[NastyRiffraff]

40. I don't depend on DU to school me on what to watch

I don't school anyone either. Everybody should watch what they want, or nothing.

[IluvPitties]

41. I'll spend time with my dogs and read the comments online.

[Wounded Bear]

43. People can be a bit bossy around here...

I think it's a general Internets thing. Like you, most folks just ignore all that and do what they want to, or what they think is right.

[40RatRod]

50. I agree...

I am almost afraid to make a post here because if I don't use proper English or misspell a word, the English police on this site cannot over look it without repeatedly "educating" the poster.
IMO.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

46. +1. N/t

[Awsi Dooger]

51. Applies elsewhere also

The worthless threads on this site are ones like, "Am I the only one who doesn't care about the Winter Olympics?"

Sometimes I agree with the premise of that type of thread, and mostly I disagree. There should be a separate forum with all of them stickied since invariably they deal with an activity that comes around again. In one thread we can read the same posters ripping the NCAA tournament in 2003, and 2007, and so forth.
