TV

Now as the loyal readers and listeners may know. I really despise TV we see just a slew of crap on our TV's everything is a reality show or come back special or the same shows from the past but redone in modern times. The last TV show that I really enjoyed and would make an effort to watch was 3rd Rock from the Sun.

Some TV shows that I enjoy are Red Dwarf, Seinfeld, The Simpsons, Six Feet Under, Sex and the City but my favorite will always be the Sopranos.

They are back again doing Season 6 and so far I have been hooked like a crack addict trying to get my last fix. I have to credit my addiction to the one and only Darin Barnes.

But so far Season 6 has just been amazing the first episode with everything that had happened was just beyond amazing. Show #2 of Season 6 was interesting after the first one I wondered well what is going to happen now. I missed show #3 and can't seem to find it on OnDemand or BitTorrent but Episodes #4 and #5 are just like holy shit.

I would love to go into details but who knows will read this and be like dude now what am I going to do I already know what happens. But you can tell finally somebody in Hollywood is actually making an effort to create a TV show that just isn't a bunch of low grade morons singing or trying to survive or swapping wives or whatever current TV executive out there takes a dump and smears it onto film and says boom here is our next hit. The morons of America just eat it up like it's the greatest thing ever and people talk and talk about it.

The only time I ever watched reality TV is when I had a girlfriend. It was all about Survivor and American Idol. Personally I never really cared for these shows. She did make me watch Sex in the City and it was a nice relief from reality to see a bunch of Woman in New York going about their lives and having sex and seeing boobs and hearing the word "Fuck" on television was a nice break. All this FCC regulated crap I mean come on when did a naked human body become something that is wrong?

You come into this world naked you are naked under your clothes what is wrong with showing that on TV? Is some kid going to be scarred for life because he saw a breast or a penis or a vagina?

On the David Letterman show in November of 2004 he mentioned that 97% of the complaints to the FCC are from Religous groups that are headed up by woman. What happened to America? You don't have to censor this stuff on most European TV channels.

In case most people didn't know most things in technology and life are driven by sex. In some way or another. The big debate right now that has been a hot topic in technology related to sex is Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD and which format are Porn Studios going to put out in. You see Sexual stuff on TV I saw a commercial of a girl taking off her clothes in an elevator and then getting into a car. I believe it was Mazda but if they were to show a breast it would be totally wrong.

But I was watching Episode 5 of Season 6 of the Soprano's tonight and they were in a strip club and it had no effect on me. I didn't view it as anything negative or erotic it was just there. It was life, not that I have ever been to a strip club but you know what it fit in the scene and did well. But you couldn't get away with anything like that on regular TV.

HBO is how TV should be not locked down and bleeped and blurred and edited and cut. It should be how the director wants to present his vision of the story. But do people write TV anymore? For the most part no. They just interview a bunch of people and see who would fit their vision of low grade idiots to do various tasks so they can sell coca cola and cell phones to the idiots of america.

Do yourself and the world a favor turn off the TV and read a book or a magazine and not a gossip magazine something that you might have an interest in. I like Wired, MacAddict, Maximum PC, Men's Health are my favorites. But I also like the Wall Street Journal and The Seattle Times so much life out there is being wasted by Reality TV. I don't understand it.

But then again TV was not meant to appeal to a 22 year old male. A show that does is a rare deal.

If you read all that and thought blah just take. Soprano's is Good. Rest of TV sucks. Read something.
