ER - or sex is good, not immunizing BAD
The Mowery Family
Yes it was. However, they started out the episode
with everyone in BED. No message there right? No unwanted
pregnancies, no STDs, no HIV. But, if you are a loving caring mother who
breastfed(as the mom in the show said), etc your child will DIE. But, if
you whore around with 2 or 3 different people during a season, apparently it
makes you a more caring physician/nurse. This type of BS has to stop, I am
so irritated.

Sigh. I'm facing the American embassy in London in a few weeks. I have
to see the embassy doc for a medical exam and explain why ky kids are
not immunised. It's one of the conditions for enetering the US as a
'alien' although there is a waiver form. Anyone know anyone who's used
it?<<<

Another annoying thing about that is that the sex on TV is always between
unmarried people. Now, I am not a prude, but my point is that the ONLY
sex on TV is illicit sex. How about a show showing a married couple
making out?

Mary Ellen,
You say you are not a "prude" - and I take you at your word, but your
description of sex between unmarried persons as "illicit" begs the
question.

Home Improvment always did portray Tim and Jill as having a healthy sex life.
Cosby show (although it's old, it's in reruns in some markets) they were
still obviously active.

That really saddens me, cos I've always loved the show, but don't
get to see it now cos it's on a digital channel which we can't get
yet :-( Though sometimes they've got up my nose, like with Carol
working when she had the twins, she didn't want to and no-one
said 'well you don't have to.' At least they showed her pumping
milk once or twice...
Ah, well, maybe I'm better off without if this is what they're doing...

I had to get out my dictionary before responding to this one. Maybe I
would like to be a prude, as it comes from a French word meaning
"excellent woman". :-)
The point I was trying to make is that tv shows plenty of sexual
involvement between unmarried people, but not much between married
couples. And it's not just kissing - there is plenty of hopping in and
out of bed. It certainly sends young people a mixed message. "Illicit"
means "not allowed by law or custom". Isn't this what our society TELLS
young people?: "Only people married to each other should be sexually
active". Obviously, the reality is much different though. Maybe I
should have just said, "the sex on TV seems to be mostly between
unmarried people".
Now that I think of it, people without children might have more time and
energy for sex anyway. So maybe TV is more realistic than I'd thought it
was! Or maybe those married couples should spend less time watching TV
and more time...
OK, I'll quit now.

**Touché, Mary Ellen. Very nicely handled. With my and my husband's extended
family, there are many built-in real life lessons for my children to learn
from (I hope). I have been accused of having a life like a soap opera. How
many other people have 7 parents?
That's why we watch cartoons instead. At least we know it's *supposed* to be
unbelievable.

I think your point is a good one Mary Ellen. They made the mother a monster
because she made an informed decision about immunizing her children, and in
the end her son dies. (That still bothers me, didn't kids get measles all
of the time years ago, and only a few of them died because of poor
conditions to begin with?)
But they show bed hopping on a regular basis as something that is normal.
To be fair though, ER has touched on all the hot topics involving sex.
Jeannie got AIDS, and Dr. Benton had a scare with that. Ying (can't
remember her name) got pregnant, gave baby up for adoption.
