So go the …… whoops too much soap operas.
I was drifting back through the mists of time the other day to the age of innocence, or at least reasonable deniability.
The thoughts of television shows came up and old shows opposed to newer shows and how bad the new shows with the exception of a few really suck.
Okay onward and upward. Wait I’m afraid of heights, so onward and sideways.
Back then (my early and teen years) we had Gilligans Island, Bewitched, The Andy Griffith Show, The Brady Bunch, Happy Days, Welcome Back Kotter and ALF.
Now the only shows worth watching are……… Well hell, their aren’t any. well Vampire Diaries used to be, but that is because the chicks are cute and my girlfriends nephew had a recurring extra role in the show.
The Walking Dead?
Hah!
Does not anyone else think Rick has got to be the biggest idiot in forever?
He continues to make the same mistakes over and over, again.
At least Negan was entertaining, and he had a plan and worked his plan, until Rick screwed it all up.
Two and a Half Men used to be pretty good, until the Charlie Sheen burnout and they brought the other dude on there. Thank God it was finally cancelled.
Chuck was an awesome show I thought, (I’ve always been a fan of Adam Baldwin and the blond chich was really hot), however the writers must have gotten bored with it because right before it was cancelled it moved into Suckville USA.
I should have seen it coming when Summer Glau guest starred on a couple of episodes.
I mean seriously what the heck is going on with her?
Does she not have the worst luck?
Every show she has been on has been cancelled after a little while.
The only one still going is Big Bang Theory ( which I like).
Personally I think Summer is a very talented person and she is cute as a bug, but damn her luck sucks.
I mean what the hell? Why would you cancel Firefly before the end of one season?
Dammit! She was the only reason to watch The Cape.
I thought Grim was going to be a pretty good show, but it has gotten lost in the shuffle as well. Writers get bored and can’t think of anything better to do than make long drawn out story lines that burn the viewing audience out.
Supernatural is entertaining sometimes but there again the writers are dragging out story lines that should actually be subplots if even that.
Shows that were good were dropped for the touchy feely crap and some of the crap that is still on the airwaves is repulsive.
My Name Is Earl was a good show, but the cancelled it without revealing who Dodge’s father really was. Leaving it in a cliffhanger was one of the jerkiest moves I’ve ever seen.
Raising Hope, from the creator of the above mentioned My Name is Earl was another great show.
Longmire, although predictable was a good show.
Republic of Doyle another good one to watch.
Who actually gives a damn about all these stupid reality shows which aren’t even reality at all for most of the world.
Duck Dynasty was interresting, but it was scripted.
Who gives two craps about the Kardashians or some chef that likes to scream all the time?
If I wanted to watch pawn shop stuff I would hang out at a pawn shop.
You want reality? Walk outside. It will slap you right upside your noggin.
You want to watch reality stuff. Get on the Youtube.
While you’re there check out my friend Pete at DIY Automotive School or SWRNC.
Check out April Wilkerson, she builds things and explains how she does it.
There are plenty of things to watch there, to make up for the lack of intellect that seems to be coming out of Hollyweird these days.
All I can say is Thank God, Last Man Standing is coming back.
I think the idiots in the television industry should give me a call, I can come up with a half dozen shows that would be much much mu-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-uch better than the crap that eats up most of the airwaves now.
You want reality shows, I could give you reality shows, I would have stuff like;
The Elroy J. Catt Chronicles. It would be about a stray ginger tabby that took over a house and became loved by all in it with his mischevious antics.
Cooking With Gary. It would be about the proper way to make a potted meat sandwich, or chilli.
Name that Odor. Contestants would stand near the outside of the bathroom door and smell guess what the person inside had for supper the night before, just from the fumes drifting up through the crack under the door.
Things to Do In the Off-Season with Christmas Lights. That one is pretty self explanatory.
Watching the Grandkids. Contestants would watch their grandkids full time and see how long they lasted before complete nervous breakdowns.
Buyers Remorse. The star each week would make some large unnecessary purchase and spend the whole episode thinking about what he or she should have actually done with the money.
Which Bill. It would be about the average working man or woman deciding which bill they were going to pay out of there pitiful paycheck each week.
