And the Summer TV series is......

Nothing. As far as I can tell, most TV series don't start in the summer. In fact most shows start in the fall when people return to school and work and buckle down. I find this rather peculiar. Summer is a well known time for slacking off and not doing a lot. This seems like a more opportune time to begin a series. People have time to sit down and become engrossed in a TV series. Autumn is when all the under kids return to school and are theoretically doing homework and sports and other activities to important to ignore to watch the new TNT series premiering that night. Not to say that adults don't also watch TV, but  again Fall is the beginning of falling back into a routine of paperwork and grindstone, with the lingering memory of vacations fading from memory. 


Another point I'd like to make which is really just the odd ramblings of me is that a good majority of the shows I enjoy get cancelled rather quickly. I can't understand it. A show I became quite enamored with called "The Finder" was cancelled after one season. Why? The show was very interesting, it kept me engrossed the entire episode and had big B list actors and actresses who were fantastic working together. One season was not enough time for the show to spread it's wings and grow. The first season is always a introductory point for any show. The first season gives everyone a strong sense of each character and their back stories. This practice is a TV show staple. Scrubs didn't just start with JD and Turk embroiled in a everlasting Bromance. That 70's Show had to explain why Fez was in Point Place. Everything has to start someplace.


I get that not every show is awesome and good shows get dropped and that I can understand. What I can't stand is the fact that worthless shows along the lines of Jersey Shore and The Real House Wives of wherever. I was convinced to watch Jersey Shore once, and I would have much rather sat outside in the snow for the entirety of that muk MTV pawned off on us. And I have never seen any kind of Real House Wife show, but I have seen the clips from The Soup and I could feel the memory storage in my brain decrease. 


The argument for these shows is pointless. Countless people have said,"If you just watch the show, it will make you feel better about your life." What an awful thought. The only thing that will make me feel better is to watch some awful show for an hour. And these shows are not the end to my ramblings. What follows will be a list of rather intelligent or creative TV shows that have been cancelled, limited is some fashion, or been fighting constantly for airtime. Community, Terra Nova, Regular Show, Venture Bros, and Sherlock.


Now I understand watching people do incredibly silly things. But I use failblog on youtube to find things to give me a slight boost. And if you watch either of these shows I am upset with that is fine, but only if you strive to be better. Watching Jersey Shore for the sake of watching it to me is rather pointless. Again, this is only my opinion. You are welcome to disagree with me and you may be quite right. I just feel like Jersey Shore or Housewives have their place in our television society. I just wish to make the point of why don't the more critical thinking shows or the more sci-fi shows get a place somewhere as well? Can't they all be on tv. We have 7 days in a television week. Why must Jersey Shore be on 5 days a week, can't we put Terra Nova on for like a Thursday instead. Can't Snookie wait one day to prattle on about whatever?


And finally, I know I am gonna make a stir with a lot of people, but I HATE Glee. I hate it. I hate what it's doing to musical culture. I hate the characters. I hate the theme of the episodes. I'll discuss why I dislike the show some other time. Just finding out how many people read the whole post and get to this point. See ya next time.
