I don't feel like I watch as much TV as I used to. Because of the writers' strike there doesn't seem to be anything good on anymore. It's mostly trashy, tedious reality TV. A lot of it is exactly the same as the rest. And I can only handle so much of that.
I want all of the TV shows that I watched last fall to come back. Right now, all I really have to look forward to is "LOST" on Thursday nights. It drives me kind of crazy the way they never answer any questions, but I still watch. I watch because, despite my frustration with the show, I still enjoy it. I get excited, because it is one of the few shows left that requires writing.
I wish I could say the same thing about reality TV. No, actually I don't. I can't get excited about the next episode of Rock of Love 2. That show is awful. I can't sit through an entire episode without wanting to gauge my eyes out with a fork. It's that painful. I don't care who Brett Michaels chooses in the end.
Recently, my friends and I have been watching TV shows on DVD to battle our cravings for decent television. But I've seen a lot of the episodes on these DVDs before. But I do still laugh during every episode of "Arrested Development."
It makes me wonder: Are other people doing the same thing? Will they ever give up on reality TV like I have? When they do give up on reality TV, what will they do? Will everyone start purchasing television shows on DVD? Will the writers' strike ever end?
I'm tired of this writers' strike and all of the reality TV that comes with it. When will I have something new to look forward to on TV again?
