Who's watching the Bruce Jenner interview tonight?

[polichick]

9pm eastern, with Diane Sawyer on abc

I'm looking forward to hearing his story - male Olympian transitions to female in his 60s. As the saying goes, you can't make this stuff up. Best to BJenner in her new life!

[MineralMan]

1. I wish Jenner the best, but won't be watching.

[In_The_Wind]

2. I already have it set to record.

[snooper2]

3. There is a Bering Sea Gold marathon tonight on Discovery

I'm sure it will be much more interesting than more fake celebrity drama

[Faux pas]

4. DVR

is a set and ready to go.

[REP]

5. I have to do anything else

He was a vapid ass when I knew him; don't care now.

31. *snerk*

I liked him when he was a guest on Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels...

16 "Playing Footsie with Bigfoot" 24 December 1977 In Oregon, when the star athlete of a sports team is kidnapped, Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels investigate. Very soon, they have found Juice Brenner. Or have they? He is acting strangely. The investigation continues and uncovers a cheat by a rival team from another country.

6. Ancient Aliens and Hangar 1 is on tonight.

Not interested in the Kardashians.

[HassleCat]

7. Privacy

Seems like kind of a private issue, even if Jenner feels the need to speak about it publicly.

[wheniwasincongress]

19. Of course it's private

but why should be keep it private? Why shouldn't he lend his voice to this issue if he chooses too?

[mainstreetonce]

8. I will watch

But I think it is more show than reality. He is a Kardashian.

[hlthe2b]

9. It is a compelling story and I truly wish him well.

That said, I just can't get past the discomfort of the whole media circus that follows the Kardashians-- and Bruce by extension. I just don't want to take part in that--even if Bruce made the conscious decision to-- so publicily-- tell the world his story and coming transition.

[cwydro]

21. Exactly

what I think.

[Liberal_in_LA]

22. I hate the Kardashian nonsense. talentless people given fame for

No reason

[Comrade Grumpy]

10. I'll be watching El Rey Network. It's my new favorite.

[LeftInTX]

11. I need to finish watching Machete

[Vinca]

12. I wasn't interested in Bruce Jenner as an Olympian and I'm not interested in him now.

I find it astonishing the media opts to give so much coverage to private lives and private choices when the public at large is suffering on so many levels. I would be happier if Diane Sawyer spent air time on cops killing unarmed civilians.

[KitSileya]

13. Has Bruce Jenner said anything about preferred pronouns?

I don't want to use the wrong ones.

[polichick]

14. There's a rumor that after tonight he'll use a feminine name...

But who knows if that's true - guess we'll know soon enough.

[Scurrilous]

15. Until we as a people unite and together as one refuse to have anything to do w/ these Kardashians..

...they will continue to plague us ad infinitum.

So, no.

[Initech]

16. Bruce Jenner is finally free from the Kardashians.

So Kris won't get a dime from his (her?) new ventures.

[Scurrilous]

23. Good for Bruce.

But IMO the taint is somewhat still upon him.

[Initech]

25. Yeah true, I hope he goes rogue in his new show and spills the dirt on Kris.

[951-Riverside]

17. Bruce Jenner killed a woman about 2 months ago yet parades around like its no big deal

No remorse, no concern, nothing.

RIP Kim Howe



So, no. I will not be watching this tripe.

[SoCalDem]

27. Same here..

I think Bruce has EVERY right to talk about anything, to anyone, BUT common sense (and a few lawyers) should have stepped in & warned that "less is more" at this particular time. It;s creepily reminiscent of the "deputy" going on a Bahamas vacation after he shot a guy to death..Bad taste

[Initech]

29. LAPD found no wrong doing in the accident.

And most of the crash results were inconclusive that Jenner was at fault. So I don't know what your point is here.

[GeorgeGist]

34. Nonsense.

Tailgating admitted to.

[BlueJazz]

18. I have paint to watch.

[Lil Missy]

20. *yawn*

[LeftInTX]

24. As a post-menopausal woman

If my doc tries to decrease/stop my HRT, I will point out that Bruce Jenner is probably getting a higher dosage.

[BeyondGeography]

26. Hockey playoffs

I'll be on the corner of the couch. My family will be in another room. Probably watching Jenner.

[joeybee12]

30. Have no interest...wish him the best and had he never joined up

with that worthless group of slugs known as the Khardashians, I probably would have watched...lots of things are indicative of an immature society...the Khardsahians are up at the top of the list.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

32. This is such an important topic, I am glad attention is being brought like this.

Some will DEMEAN the topic by insisting on focusing only on his recent auto accident where a person died.

Too bad that happened, too bad for the victim and this issue. I am in no way diminishing her life, the person who died.


The more mature of us can accept both realities at the same time and give the attention needed to this show and this topic.

I remember as a teen seeing a movie in my local theatre about Christine Jorgensen., I remember being freaked out about it.

But at least I learned about it as a child and I think that helped form me into who I am today, in part.



When I say freaked out, I was a teenager, it was the 60's. I assume my reaction was typical.

[polichick]

33. It really is an important topic - watching now...

They're doing a good job I think - fascinating and educational too.
