(FOUR) PROJECT RUNWAY
I’m cool with admitting this. I did watch a few seasons of Project Runway. I got hooked into it. I didn’t watch all that much of the first season, but the second season was great. I got past all the sassy gay guys and overbearing art ladies and just really got into the design. Fashion design is not an artistic medium that I myself am interested in getting into, but I used to like watching them create something out of nothing every week. Some of the designs would even inspire a graphic design or a website lay out or something else. The point here is that even under the mindless entertainment that is a basic cable reality show I was finding some artistic value in it. I’ve tried watching an episode or so in the past few years and it’s a shell of it’s former self. It’s become “Real Housewives With Sewing Machines”.
(THREE) HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
Just tell us who the hell the damn “mother” is! I really enjoyed this show when it first came around. It really hit it’s strides a few years ago. The entire cast had entertaining stories going on and the interaction was just spot on. Things just clicked and it worked. For some reason over the past couple seasons it’s REALLY hard to get into. I’m annoyed and tired of the characters despite being a fan of all the actors and I just have no interest. Why can’t they just tell us who the mother is? I’m under a weird suspicion that they might pull a big scam. I bet they have the two kids, the boy and the girl, have different mothers. Whoa! What a twist! C’mon! Just tell us who it is!
(TWO) TNA IMPACT WRESTLING
TNA needs to just press the “restart” button. Their show has become the definition of “clusterfuck”. I love professional wrestling, but what they’re offering as a national product is the absolute worse form of “mainstream” wrestling I’ve ever seen. They have talented wrestlers and a GREAT opportunity, but the problem is that they’re not organized and they’re so far off where they should be that it’s depressing. It’s gotten to the point where there is absolutely NO redeeming quality about TNA’s product. Pull the plug and restart. Please.
(ONE) WEEDS
I feel like a broken record about this. Weeds sucks now. I still keep watching it because I want to know what’ll happen… and I’m a masochistic completist. I MUST see this thing through. I’ve come too far not to. The show went south as soon as the storyline went south of the border. It was just too much. I KNOW I’m not alone. We wanted to watch a show about a single mom selling weed to keep up with lifestyle and families upkeep. A show called “Weeds” should be about marijuana. They spent so much money being cutesy with pot leafs in their advertising for years. Now we’re supposed to just accept a replacement drug? Do they not get that STONERS watch this show. I’m sure there are people who don’t smoke and watch it, but I don’t think a lot of people would have given a chance otherwise.
