The end of an era....

Mood: saddish....
Listening to: The Vandals-" My Special Moment"

This may sound riduculous to some of you...invisible.....readers, but....

The Gilmore Girls are now officially off the air!!!.......and I just found out that most of my shows were either cancelled or ended....so, now what am i going to do on my nights off?

I will admit, I love the TV...although most of what's on is complete drivel...some of the shows are worth watching...and trust me, I take my television watching seriously....

On most nights...during the school year at least....I generally have enough time to watch maybe one show a night, if that...and I want that show to make me completely forget about the problems that I have to deal with in the "outside world"...for that hour, at least....this year I mostly watched shows that were on at 9pm or later because I usually wouldn't get home until after 8pm...so, Mondays I watched Heroes and taped "Drive"..."Drive" has now been cancelled....

Tuesdays...taped Gilmore Girls and watched House on at 9...Gilmore Girls is now done....

Weds....taped Jericho to watch on Thursdays after getting home from school....Jericho has now been cancelled....

Thurs...Smallville and Supernatural....(No work on Thours nights)... those are staying, as far as I know

Fri...nothing...

So now what am I left with? Why can't the network executives understand that most people are sick of reality TV and sitcoms? We need good shows that have good storylines and actors! Something that will focus our attention away from our real problems and let us relax and kick back...even if its just for an hour or so....I get enough reality by watching the news and I need a fictional story to take my mind off of that!!! Why do a bunch of fucking stuffed shirts get to decide what we should watch? Who are they to decide what people like? Ratings don't mean a damn thing...with people being as busy as they are, most people I know usually tape or tivo their favorite shows during the week to watch on the weekends when they are not as busy.....so, there is an audience out there, they just can't take their precious time away from more important things going on in their lives to watch a show when the "network" deems is the time they should watch the program!!! I tape most of my shows...(1) to watch them at a more convienent time and (2) to fast foward through all of the fucking commericals!!

In an hour long show about 15 minutes are just pure commericals! There are times when there are so many commerical breaks I completely lose track of the story line, and, therefore, lose interest in that particular episode...

RIDICULOUS!!!!

There...I feel better now....thanks for reading this totally irrational rant~~

On the other hand we don't really have anything interesting either, so most of the shows I watch are American and English ones on the internet. Just thought you might like to know that one "invisible" reader shares an oppinion with you there :)
