I'm Starting to Hate My TV

For many years when i was younger i had a special bond with my television. I knew that every morning it would entertain me with cartoons, i could watch "The Price is Right" during the mid-day in addition to other mindless yet entertaining gameshows. After school programing was decent; usually GI Joe's or some other show that just made me want to go outside in camoflauge and punch someone. Prime time programing was awesome back in the day, yeah we had a medical drama too, it was called M*A*S*H. Basically the premesis of this show was that people would get blown up and then go to these medical doctors and they would just tell jokes about the victims. Other than that the rest was details. We even had a crime drama. It was called "Miami Vice." This show just oozed casual sex. All these guys did was solve crimes and by "solve" i mean shoot suspects. Case closed. In the meantime they were basically slutting around Miami and wearing pastels. Usually i would be against men wearing powder blue suits with a pink button up however i know that they did it just to be like "we can even dress this rediculous and still get laid." Other than that they just drove expensive cars, drank on the job, carried sawed-off shotguns, and ........nope, thats about it. This was the second best show on TV besides "The A-TEAM" see- http://ryanmcbride.blogspot.com/2004/11/not-even-up-for-debate.html After that i would just sit back and watch the Hartford Whalers lose 5-2 to "insert any team" I loved my TV.

Unfortunatly that feeling of bliss cut short. Instead of watching 3's company i now have to watch "7 stranger's, picked to live in a house (by their demographics to insure controversy and sexual tension) Either that or i can watch a guy that looks prettier than the girls he is picking through give out roses after sleeping with all 25 of them to see which one is the best in bed. There may be other parts of the show like a plot but i haven't picked up on them yet and i haven't been called out on this either so deal with it. I can watch people chug sheep vomit for a chance at 50 thousand dollars and for joe rogan to announce "aparently fear is not a factor for you" Dear Joe Rogan, If you were to say that same phrase to the surviving soldiers that stormed the beaches of Normandy and awarded them each 50 grand for their unmatched display of bravery and fearlessness, maybe then i would agree with you. I watched this show the other day and it was so original! It was a drama about doctors and or crime investigation and i thought to myself, wow, I wish there were 11 more shows just like this. Then my dream instantly came true. Im so pissed right now that i don't even want to finish this blog. Brb..................k, i just pounded a beer. Now i feel somewhat better. But seriously, reality TV? Can't you just look out a window? yeah just sit infront of a window with a bag of chips and watch reality. It would cut down on your cable bill and electric bill. I don't really care about if 2 people swap wives or if a bunch of "queer" guys want to rub a man down with lotion and put him in capri's so he can get the girl. Honestly i would rather watch the cosby show where life was simple. Bill Cosby just told jokes, made babies, and then delivered babies. Or just watch the fresh prince just make fun of carlton for 30 min. When i want to see reality, i go outside, or just look around. When i turn on my TV i want it to be an escape from reality, a place where i can just push the outside world away and relax. A place where "Full House" has nothing to do with the fucking "World Series of Poker" but has all your old pals like "Uncle Jessie, Bob Saget and so on" I want shows like "Who's the Boss" or "Charles in Charge" Oh well, there is always reruns on Tbs. Bring back quality TV programming, bring back the Hartford Whalers.
