I have truly had it up to here with reality TV. We have shows that teach us to SURVIVE. We have shows to show us how to seduce BACHELORS & BACHELORETTES. Need I forget those gripping stories of how you can become a BIG LOSER. Is this what entertainment has sunk to. What ever happened to the weekly drama. Oh yea, they found something that worked and cloned them and moved them to different cities, i.e. CSI New York, NCIS Las Angeles, Law & Order (too many to name). And now if you tune to certain cable channels you get to enjoy marathons of all the shows listed above.
There are a few shining stars out there, but it seems that they are staying off the Networks. Why is this? There are great shows like Ray Romano's show Men of a certain age, the highly acclaimed Mad Men, Sons of Anarchy, just to name a few. BUT the kicker is none of these shows are on major networks. It is apparent that Network executives are more interested in showing outraged chef's, and overweight manic depressives than employing their writing to staff to actually CREATE something entertaining.
