Well, the writers are back and a fresh crop of old shows are hitting my Hidef. Time to weed the living from the dying. The first sign of a show that won’t make it or one that has made it but is on its last legs is the writing. I present below, Glebe’s selections for On Life Support and DOA.
On Life Support
Big Brother 9—the year of boring me to death by showing the same clips over and over.
Unfortunately, this show will continue to thrive because everyone wants to see other people make fools of themselves. The show is poorly produced and directed, evidenced in the way the same scenes are continually replayed which takes up about one half of the show. This season is the worst season ever—the people are all jerks—no one to root for....boring, boring, boring.
DOA (Dead on Arrival).Shows that will not survive beyond the spring and, if they do, it’s because the American public has taste up the kazoo.
Canterbury’s Law.
Great; another law show—this time with a woman with a back story. Her marriage is in trouble because she’s upset because her son was kidnapped three years ago and never found. Oh yeah, she had, or is having, or will not have an affair. I would guess that we would have to endure her nightmare every week. But the real problem is the writing and the story line are totally predictable and amateurish. Give us a break; find the kid, have an affair, cancel the show.
Can’t wait for The Office, The Tudors, Friday Night Lights, The Brotherhood, Rescue Me, among others.
Glebe out.
