television

After watching tonight's broadcast of the Emmy's, I've realized that most of TV is not all that great. There are a few shows that really stand out and are great, but most of them really aren't. Nothing is original anymore, everything has all already been done a hundred times before. But, that still doesn't stop me from watching it. I find myself sitting, watching a whole show about something absolutely ridiculous. Some of my favorite shows are One Tree Hill, Chelsea Lately, House, and Top Chef. One Tree Hill, there's nothing in this show that hasn't been done and said before. It's just like every other teen drama that's been on the air, and yet i still find myself watching it in its seventh season. Chelsea Lately is a late night comedy/talk show on the E! network. Its one of the few things on TV that i find myself laughing at. So much of TV today is just not funny. I find this show very refreshing. There are few shows that i really need to see. The only real time i watch TV is when I'm bored. The best networks for boredom are MTV and VH1. The shows on these stations are just so awful that they are good. Isn't that what most of television is today? So bad that we find ourselves watching it to see someone else's train wreck of a life and being a little thankful for our own.
