Dumb TV shows

[livnxxxl]

I hate to admit this, but it is time for me to go and watch some soap operas with my gf. She calls it "our time". I guess it is the least that I can do as she tollerates me buying all kinds of collectibles and stuff. Actually since I have been watching rather um roped into watching some of her shows a couple of them are not too bad. And as a bonus every now and then there is a hot chick or two......dressed in skimpy CFM clothes. So it isn't all that bad I suppose. So far it seems like just about every other scene is a G rated sex scene. Maybe it is my gf's way of getting me in the mood. Not that she needed a soap opera to do that. Anyway....

Why me?!?!! Why can't I just sit here and buy Mego's all day long and B.S. at The Mego Museum?? hahaha LOL!!!

The only reality show I like is The Amazing Race. I could care less about the others. I do watch NCIS, Bones, the 3 CSI's, The Mentalist, Lie to Me, Castle, Smallville, Big Bang and Two and a Half Men.

>It seems one network has a hit with a particular show, and next season the same formula is everywhere.

True; but I don't think THAT'S new either....

MY problem with TV is the same problem I have with most types of entertainment: intellectual inbreeding. I see the same stuff, the same way, again and again and again. You'd think with so many cable channels; each pandering to a specific niche, that we'd get more variety. But no. We get "wacky sitcom #3," except this time they work for a video game company. Same formula, different setting. It sucks the fun out of a story when I can watch the first ten minutes and then know how it all turns out.

Funny story: Years ago I had two friends, one a huge fan of "Babylon 5," one a fan of "The X-Files." Two shows that fell into the "inbred" column for me. At one point I told both of them how the next three seasons were gonna play out. And I was right. And both guys were mad at me. And it wasn't a stretch for me 'cos I'd seen both shows before; over and over and over....
