like choosing the palce to ambush bank robbers in a room full of clerks or to say on TV where is hold the child of a woman hiding from killers?

I wander if they just don't care about the script, or there is a reason for this, and his stupidity is intentional. Then what reason? What for?

I puted it here because I'm interested more in the social angle of the issue - why a positive hero is so stupid - does it has some bigger meaning?

BEcause its a poorly done b-rate show that is more interested in showcasing karate than being realistic?

Look at its demographics. Still should go in the other forum. Fits perfectly within the whole purpose of that forum.

If you mean me - sick people in bed watch it. Actually everytime when I'm sick I'm discovering a lot of puzzling stuff on TV.
But if you ack in general - it supposed to be, at least once was, kind of hit, no?

It's a show - so it's not realistic, who cares, but why THE good guy - so stupid?!

IMO, it is a stupid and pointless show. I watched it one time for 10 minutes and turned it off. That was 10 minutes too long. :mad:

i think shes gotta point/itd be ok for a good guy to be stupid if it fit with the plot,but they just slap this garbage together/we're not very discerning abt the literature we consume here/there's some really good stuff here but the sponsors are more worried abt offending than enlightening/literature should enlighten ppl/there is a broader issue here

there may be something to that,but american art has this "camp chic" thing going which is artistically interesting and a compelling and refreshing rebuff to the priggish stuffy self important european thing/the problem is not a lot of artists are equal to the challenge of producing truly artistic kitsch

I dunno about YOU...but the local station here is having an AB FAB* New year's weekend MORON-A-THON starting Thursday Night, and I wanna see THAT!

* "ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS" , a BBC TV series starring JOANNA LUMLEY & JENNIFER SAUNDERS (Think if BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD's mothers were british & had a show of their OWN, eh?)

dunno, but ...
perhaps ...
would Chuck norris be executive producer of the Show ? :D that would account for much of the stupidity, I reckon :D

Have you ever seen Conan make fun of Walker Texas Ranger? It's pretty funny...he just plays clips because of how ridiculous the storyline is. I actually never really minded it that much...
