1. "Triplets" is better, but more demanding of a viewer.
"Saved" is okay, and will let you relax.

pay attention!

2. Triplets
"Saved," I didn't care for too much, but it hit a bit close to home.

4. I have a feeling I'm going to wish that "Saved" was better than it is...
...from the reviews, it didn't sound scathing enough.

6. Neither. Save your Brain
Do not watch TV. Do not support the BFEE.

Use the time to live your own life.

Save for 9/11 I have not watched TV since I was 17 -- and that is many decades ago!

Watching on 9/11 was simply a waste as it was a day devoted to the followup psychological attack on America by the Very Same people who brought down the Towers. It was intended to soften us up through "Shock and Fear" and that worked better than the same people's later "Shock and Awe" program.

Really, why would you waste your time sucking up the shit the BFEE pours out for you??

You can't thumb your nose at BFEE more effectively than that.

11. No, seriously, what do you really think?
Can't say I agree--not all tv is bad, nor all movies. Moderation is the key.

13. Yeah, save your brain by posting in DU with the rest of us losers!
Much improvement over watching a challenging and creative work of art! :-)

Or, watch Tripletts. Your call.
