    The No See gets canceled: what will I watch now?

    I’m feeling a little down right now because “The OC” has been canceled. While it’s not my favorite show, it is pretty irreplaceable. If “24” were to be canceled, I would be bummed but I don’t think I’d miss it (the story has been told). “Smallville” desperately needs to be canceled. Even the “Law & Orders” have been on for years and as much as I love it, I don’t think I’d miss it (not with continous the reruns on cable). “Lost” is a damn fine show…but the novelty has sorta worn off. I’d miss all my shows but none as much as “The OC.”

    I’ve got this thing for bad teen dramas–I always have. From “90210” to “Dawson’s Creek” to “The OC” I’ve always had a primetime soap whose key demographic is teenage girls in my life. I don’t know why I like them so much–I just do. I guess what’s appealing about “The OC” is it’s a show that doesn’t take itself too seriously–it even mocks itself quite a bit. Sitcoms tend to be too over the top. That’s what’s great about my teen dramas: they have comedic moments and interesting enough storylines to detain viewers.

    And soon . . . . .

     

    Stupid, crappy “Shepherd”

    I was having such a good run–probably close to a year–and now it’s gone. Down the drain. Just like that! A perfectly good streak snapped because I didn’t follow my judgment. Damn you Red Jesus!

    I couldn’t tell you the last time I saw a really crappy movie (prior to “The Good Shepherd”) because I’ve been very selective of what I’ve seen over the past year or so. By only seeing movies I only wanna really wanna see, I haven’t had to see any garbage. A whole year of being entertained by movies gone–just like that (despite its flaws, I still found “Superman Returns” to be watchable). I gambled and I lost. I saw a movie that I thought was probably gonna be bad and I was right.

    Unfortunately “The Good Sheppard” sucked even more than I thought imaginable. Matt Damon did nothing but walk around with a hat and trench coat for two hours. My goodness it was boring–so dull it kept me from sleeping because I couldn’t stop thinking about how dull it was. Man, what a stupid boring pointless movie–and of course Red Jesus liked it.

    Is there something wrong with me because I think . . . . .
