Changing the Channel

What makes a good tv show? Plot, characters, storyline? With so many shows on TV how do you decide which ones to watch and what to skip. I can certainly tell you what I am not watching on TV... How about The Real Housewives of whatever county? Every week it is announced that we can watch another group of desperate women whining and complaining from Orange County..New York..New Jersey..um what could possibly be next? The Real Housewives of Witchita Kansas? That should be interesting. (Where is a rolling eye icon on this blog when you need one)

And why are shows like Cupid, Priveledged and Without a Trace being cancelled for budgetary reasons when I have various loser cougars to watch on TV? Maybe we can ask a Real Housewife to sacrifice her tanning package or manicure to help pay to keep a quality show on the air. Don't even get me started on shows being cancelled for budgetery reasons or low viewership. Networks change the day and time of so many shows I often need to mapquest its current location. Once again thanking g-d for the DVR that can track a show where ever it may go.

Another show I am currently not watching. Heroes. Now I gave this show a shot. I think I watched the Pilot episode back in the day. And they almost got me with there infamous commercial of "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World". Ya know what..after hearing that motto so many times, I almost wished the Cheerleader died. The Heroes are kind of boring and to be honest I was more interested in the possible sex going on between Hayden Panettierre and hottie Milo Ventigmilia off screen then the actual show.

Now the next show I am going to mention just might make some people mad. So if you are a "Lostie" then I suggest you stop reading right now. The show Lost. It is as good as it's name. Lost, Lost on me at least. I don't get the hype at all. I prefer a show that gives you answers to questions instead of providing more confusion. From what I hear it's on Season 4 million and there are still no answers as to who these people really are, where they came from, and why they are or were lost. Mysterious things come and mysterious things go and every week you tune in hoping and praying for an answer but all you get are more questions. The only thing I do know about this show is that if you are going to watch you have one big decision to make. Who are you rooting for: Sawyer or Jack?
