Hence why I haven't written in almost a month. Unfortunately, I have had zero time to watch TV. And from what I have seen, summer TV is really slacking. Apparently ratings are up, and TV viewers are at a high. But from what I've seen, TV quality is at a definite low.
The summer seems to be the season of reality TV. Celebrity Circus, America's Got Talent? I personally just could not get into these shows. To me, they aren't entertainment. A talent show judged by David Hasslehoff? That's like having Lindsay Lohan be a counselor at summer camp. I would never trust either of them!
Here's a thought, scripted TV. There's not much streaming around the TV river right now. The Secret Life of the American Teenager is actually my favorite so far. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally over the unplanned pregnancy phase of entertainment. Knocked up and Juno hit it big. The girls in Gloucester, MA, provided great laughs. Even Jamie Lynn Spears joined the bandwagon. But these girls were all a little trashy. We weren't
that surprised. But Amy, she conceived her baby at band camp. Thats right, she's the all American good girl, who plays the French horn. She's the last person that you'd expect to get pregnant. She's too cute, too sweet, and never had a boyfriend (until now, after the pregnancy). She's falling in love, and you're really enjoying her cute life until you remember that she's pregnant. There's a lot of drama to come, and I don't know how long this show will capture my attention. But until then it will be my only summer show.
Anyways, I'd really appreciate if all of the TV writers and producers would read my entry on how to make the perfect show. That way, I wouldn't be caught watching shows that the writers of 7th Heaven wrote.
Lastly, shout out to Lost and the Losties! I miss you guys.
