OK ... I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. The last thing I want to do is spoil a thread that you all are enjoying ... But, I have kind of a serious question about TV in general that maybe some of you can help me with.
The subject of House kind of made me think about it. I have enjoyed House as some of you have mentioned, but there have been a few shows that have really been kind of troubling to me. On occasion, watching House has left me with the thought, "Would God be happy about me watching this?" The one show that sticks out in my mind is the one that ended with House soliciting a prostitute. There have been a few other instances with House that have pricked my conscience.
So, my question is ... Where do we draw the line? There are many shows out there that I totally refuse to watch (e.g. Boston Legal, Desperate Housewives, etc., etc.). The list of shows that I will watch is getting smaller and smaller. 24 is still on the list Because some of those shows are totally saturated with iniquity, does that make them more inappropriate then others that that just throw a little in here and there?
Anyway, just so nobody misconstrues ... my only intention here is to sharpen iron among other brothers and sisters in Christ.
