This week the American Public AGAIN, is going to get, bar, fights and pool cues as weapons, with leather dressed characters


Why don't they choose a Golf Course, or a Bowing Alley or a Wal Mart ?????

Same Old Chit....way tah go CBS.
 
2022 Female version (Robyn McCall. Queen Latifah)
....New fall series, actually pretty good, but this SOS is just perpetuating the American Publics image of the game, AGAIN.

Because of drugs, fights, bad image of a poolhall from the 1970's to 1980's.. You cannot get a alcohol licence in a poolhall in New South Wales, Australia...
The stigma is still there with the image of pool as a seedy, smokey, gang hangout place producing violence if alcohol is involved.

TV, movies that keep portraying this image doesn't help..

Makes me wonder if pool will ever shake this image, globally..
 
bar, fights and pool cues as weapons
Let me guess: Half a dozen Harleys leanin on their stands out front. Brings back some great memories of Lei Lani's pub in Ocean Beach. It was an HA bar but cuts were outlawed. Two good tables and cold draft beer. I never had a problem in there and went often, it was a block from the house.

It's just lazy writers. Pool hall can instantly portray a place where seedy characters do seedy things to each other. Get a picture of the sign out front and your job is done. Plenty of seedy places have pool tables, but from what I've seen, the more pool tables there are, the less seedy the place is.

It's also pretty funny how much Hollywood likes to portray, romanticize, glamorize, and fetishize violence but seem so offended by actual violence. I don't know if they can show someone smoking a cigarette anymore.
 
So your saying this is good CBS showing this scene? Why? Please explain.
Oh, I don't watch TV and don't care what CBS plays. I had good times in a dive biker bar because I was always immediately chosen for teams at a pitcher a rack. That meant my partner and his partners drank free. I don't drink more than a glass or two. They took good care of me including telling me when I might want to be somewhere else, although I didn't always get out in time.

Good tables are where you find them.
 
And my best man was a Harley Race team mechanic, and he built engines for over 30 yrs, but what's that got to with this scene being acceptable.
Never mind.

Guess Dominion is lying too.
 
Is that still on? I saw Queen L on a sport bike in episode one and clicked away.
Queen L is to 'tough' as John Travolta is to 'tough'.....and he never got past 'welcome back cotter' or 'look who's talking' in my mind....so when 'pulp fiction' came along, he was doomed.

I watched about 15 minutes of an ep, my wife wanted to see what it was....it hasn't been back on since. I vaguely remember an 80's show called 'the equalizer'....I'm assuming this is some kind of reboot of that?

Its doesn't matter, thats not the problem. Cornhole has more sponsors than Pool, pickle ball has mor money behind it than Pool and slap boxing is now an official sport!!!! WTF! No Money in Pool and they all have more coverage than Pool, its sad.

You're right. If we can think of a way to get people to NOT think pool is boring, maybe we can get better sponsors. But for now, no one wants to watch it... we're doomed.
