Television

I guess my taste in television doesn't align with most people. Of the new shows this year, most of my favorites are gone. After rhapsodizing about Drive, it got canceled after two episodes aired. The Nine is gone as is The Black Donnelly's. Studio 60 is still not officially canceled, but it certainly looks like it's headed that way. Evidently my tastes in television, sucks!

loracs likes Dancing With the Stars, so I watched it infrequently. I will admit to really enjoying The Amazing Race and I do watch Survivor (except for one season). I think of both shows as kind of mega-game shows. I actively dislike shows like The Bachelor because it seems too much like they are making life-changing decisions under a microscope. Playing a game and being ridiculous is one thing. Doing ridiculous things in order to get married (even if that doesn't often happen it's still the avowed purpose of the show) is a whole other thing in my mind. Never got into American Idol and now it's such a huge thing I avoid it because it feels too much like joining the herd. Besides, the resulting "idols" sing overly produced very commercial boring stuff in my humble opinion.
