Does this mean I'm old?

The finger banging talk was on Conan. And Conan still airs at 11:30 p.m. Right?

 

Conan's on TBS. People cuss on there all the time. They did busts for the first people to drop the F-bomb on the show.

Cable is different than broadcast. Just is.

 

Don't think of it as old.
Think of it as seasoned .... And surly.

 

I know. I shouldn't be surprised by it. That's why my reaction brought me to start the thread.

 

Personally, I find a lot of what's on SportsJournalists.com shocking.

 

I was watching "Mom" the other night -- why, I don't know, because it is a rancid wretched show -- and Anna Faris was telling her mom (Allison Janney) about a date she had. He was well-read, polite, "and when he took his pants off, you could play horseshoes on that thing." But then she was not proud of her behavior on the date because she met him at 9:00 "and by 12:00 my feet were behind my ears." The mom character, a grandma by now in truth, was wondering why that was bad.

I believe that's the time slot that Family Ties and Growing Pains used to occupy.

 

In comparison, 22 years ago, Madonna put out the "Sex" book which, at the time, was considered extremely shocking.

Happens with every generation.

 

When I started covering the NBA, I was younger than most of the players on the mostly veteran team I covered. Now, dammit, I'm older than most of the coaches.

 

My wife's sister looks like Katy Perry. They have a cousin who could pass for Anna Kendrick. Guess what I'll be thinking about next Christmas.

 

Just a small sampling of things that happened in 1994. Which was 20 years ago. 20!

The Lion King was released
OJ Simpson killed his wife
Forrest Gump was released
Friends and ER debuted
Michael Jackson married Lisa Marie
Kurt Cobain committed suicide
The baseball strike

 

To answer the original question, the other day I was reading a review of The Lego Movie. The writer noted similarities to Toy Story and pointed out it was released 19 years ago.

 

Television home shopping features a show dedicated to sex toys, and has for quite a while.

There are TV commercials for vibrators and sex lube.
