No, that's not right. I love TV. I watch it all the time. It is my primary form of entertainment. In my world there is nothing better than watching Dance Moms psychologically scar their Dance Daughters. (Don't judge me.)
I always have someting to watch. Whether it's a judge show during the day or a sit-com at night or something we have waiting patiently on our PVR that records up to 4 shows at one time. (Currently we have 34 recordings on the PVR to watch whenever we are done watching live tv.)
So yeah, I love TV. I love watching TV more than going to the movies, which isnt saying much because I dont much care for going to the movies but I needed something to compare it too.
But as much as I love TV I have recently discovered a problem with TV. That being a lot of what is shown on TV, how should I put this? ... it sucks.
Let me explain. I love sit-coms. It is what I prefer to watch other than Dance Moms (Don't judge me). In days gone by I would watch Two and a Half Men over anything else and defend it to those Soprano loving ... guys ... whatever Itallian insult you can throw in here. Give me a sit-com over anything else was my motto. Well except for Dance Moms. (Don't judge me)
My wife, on the other hand, loved cop shows, well any show in which a crime is solved. It drives me crazy that she would rather watch bones then say ... well there is the problem. This season the sit-coms have declined in quality so much that I would rather not watch them. Actually this isn't a new thing. Two and a Half Men wasn't worth watching long before Charlie Sheen became a wizard and other top shows, like Mike and Molley and Two Broke Girls are just bland. Thank God we still have Big Bang Theory or it would be a bleak landscape indeed.
And let's just not talk about the new Arrested Development shows. I'm ashamed even to bring them up.
So what does one man do in a world where The Millers and Mom exists and Dance Moms is only on once a week. (Don't judge me!)
So I turned to Netflix. Currently trying out Orange is the New Black and ... meh. Really so many people rave about the show there was no way it could live up to the hype. I am enjoying House of Cards but thats not a comedy, is it? (No really, I can't tell.)
The end nresult is that it is a depressing world out there for a man who loves his comedies. Well at least I have Community back.
Oh God Dammit!
