This is true. There was quite a bit of sexual innuendo back in those days, especially with 3 Company. I don’t think it’s any more or less than what we see today.
We probably think we see more of it because we have 100+ channels to choose from now. The only difference now is, they do show a little more skin these days. However, we’re still quite tame compared to the programming they show in other countries.

Comment on Kimball Mason deserves prison, but LONG jail time would suffice by Sylar

I have to disagree with you Alex. I moved to IF 3 years ago and I haven’t seen any of the problems you noted with the police. I moved here from a very large metropolitan area where the officers REALLY harrassed the younger kids in their tricked out Honda’s and where REAL profiling happened on a daily basis. Not to mention officers hiding behind bushes with their radar guns waiting to nab speeders every chance they got. And don’t even get me started about all the instances where officers would steal weapons, drugs and cash from drug dealers. That kind of thing doesnt happen here. And I don’t see meth and gang activity as being out of hand either, but maybe that’s because I’m used to seeing crack dealers peddling their goods on so many street corners and drug deals going down in the strip mall parking lots. That kind of thing doesn’t happen here and if it does, it’s certainly not as bad as you’re making it out to be. (with the exception of your buddy Kimbal Mason) Sure there’s a drug problem and a certain amount of gang activity just about anywhere you go these days, but it’s not at the level you seem to think it is here in IF.
The men and women that protect and serve this community do an outstanding job in my opinion.
I’m sorry your buddy Mason got busted and maybe he was a good person deep down, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that he broke the law and attempted to cover it up. Good people do bad things, we all know that. But that doesn’t excuse his behavior and he’s not above the law just because he put a bunch of criminals behind bars. He got what he deserved, end of story.
As for this town, it’s a great place to live and I’m glad to be a part of this community.
You have a nice day now.

good point, reader; and I wonder what the current tv watchers would say about the whole “Jack Tripper pretending to be gay by walking swishy and lisping” plot……

LOL! 5 dollar…..5 dollar foot looooong! It’s ga ga going strong! Only at Subway!

I agree with the sidebar/announcement thing. Hey, but at least we got a decent, albeit meaningless discussion out of it that wasn’t related to politics.

Comment on Kimball Mason deserves prison, but LONG jail time would suffice by Alex Bowman

After reading into this again, I realized there’s no upstanding officials left in Idaho Falls anymore, which is why I am glad I moved out of that town three years ago.

The police harass kids and pull people over without cause, they profile daily, and arrest people and issue tickets with absolutely no reasoning other than being bored.

Meanwhile the meth and gang situation is getting out of hand and they choose to turn a blind eye and just go up and down 17th street looking to pull some kids over in their honda because the exhaust is too loud, yet let the truck go by that is roasting tires and bellowing black smoke and is 10 times louder?.

Then there’s this whole thing about Mr. Mason. When is something going to change? When is the integrity going to return to this town? It’s sad. It really is.

Aw, I knew a post like this would draw meso back from no man’s land.

As a suggestion, I’d rather see announcements given a separate section on this site, maybe a side bar, and real articles on the main page as usual. No need for general announcements to garner a bunch of discussion.

Hey - Dillard’s is having an underwear sale tomorrow - can I turn it into an article?

I always wanted to see the Professor and Maryann hook up. And the way Ginger pawed all over Gilligan sure sent my pre-teen mind wandering! My mom didn’t have a problem with me watching shows like this and “Three’s Company”, “Happy Days”, etc. - yet as I look back there sure was a lot of sexual innuendo. Wonder if we we see more nowadays or if we only make a bigger deal out of it?

There’s another poll idea.

Not mormonism, religion in general.

CR67, I knew I always liked you: picking MaryAnn was the right choice…..and hey, she lives in Driggs now!!! Maybe you could attend her theater camp??

I left the Skipper out on purpose; he is abusive in his relationships (he was always hitting Gilligan and, more disturbingly, calling him “Little Buddy”)

Me, I would go right for Mr. Howell….but can someone please explain why the millionaire was on the broken down “three hour cruise” run by Skipper in the first place? Couldn’t he have chartered, or even bought, a better boat??

And while we are at it, how is it that the Professor can build a radio out of a pineapple but he can’t fix a hole in a boat???

What topic?
You mean discuss mormonism?

Hey, maybe it’s a test. Maybe Mr Eagle is testing us to see if we can discuss this topic in a civilized fashion in an attempt to open it back up for discussion. If I remember correctly when he first purchased the site he did say he may think about opening it back up for discussion one day. And perhaps today is that day! Whoohooo! Ladies and gentlemen……lets get ready to ruuuuummmmbleeeeee! Uhhh…errr….I mean, talk peacefully amongst ourselves in a civilized and courteous manner of course. (just a thought)

It’s going to be interesting to see what is done about this post. They might end up having to give equal time to other religions.

just like all the other announcements we see on here from the unitarian church and democrats

So you think we should raise our hands and ask the teacher if it’s okay to talk about this?

oh boy….. that could be an issue than. However, either Joe or one of the Moderators had to have cleared it to post, so who knows. I suppose those folks that aren’t affiliated with LDS just won’t attend thats all. Also, the post isn’t really a discussion per se’, more of an announcement.

It does have an interesting combination of new-age and (presumably) LDS items… interesting.

The site has references to relief society and a quote from Joseph Smith…
