Let’s be serious for one second…

Haha! Psyche! I’m never serious. But seriously, whats the deal with the TV shows I watch getting all serious?

Buffy Season 4 (btw Angel and Cordy are gone, someone buy me Angel NOW!)

So at the beginning of Season 4 – Buffy’s in college and hating it, Willow and Oz have their own friends, her roommate sucks (and turns out to be a demon!) but before that she’s super annoying and Buffy doesn’t rip her a new one, Buffy gets clumsy and SHE CAN’T EVEN KILL VAMPIRES. For the first two eps at least.

I don’t watch shows to experience never-ending displays of weakness – especially not when the character is redeemed at the end of Episode 2 and then right back to being a temporary loser in Ep 3. Plus the guy she has a crush on isn’t even hot. I hate you Riley!

Entourage (aka Haircuts and Tequila)

So Vince: started the season on a high after that car movie he did, but then got bullied into doing a dangerous stunt, got injured, got addicted to painkillers (I presume), CUT HIS HAIR (omg!), started drinking all the time, started dating a porn star (but its Sasha Grey and she’s “smart” so apparently its OK) and as of the end of the last ep, appears to have OD’d on Turtle’s tequila and Vicodin.

This isn’t House. Go be an awesome actor with awesome parties and awesome groupies and awesome movies. I swear Vince must be the boring actor ever! But I blame myself, because I’m still watching Entourage.

Pretty Little Liars

I stopped watching this show because NOTHING GOOD EVER HAPPENED. EVER! The parents are either splitting up, trying to closet their kids, enablers of bad behaviour and/or hoing themselves out to policemen.

Siblings are jealous, boyfriend stealers, and/or violent nasty passive-aggressive people.

Boyfriends/love interests are either violent, disinterested, clingy and/or just downright creepy. NONE of the girls seems to have any friends or even be friends with each other.

And I read up on the end of the books anyway on Wikipedia and its so stupid shocking that I gave up on this awful show. Me. The person who watches Laguna Beach and The Hills without any sense of irony. Plus, hooking up with a teacher will NEVER be right Aria!!!!

And neither will hooking up with someone you just met in the bathroom of a bar!

I could go on but its safe to say that unless I’m watching something like The OC where I expect my characters to be unhappy all the time or one of those serious shows that lame people like, like Breaking Bad or whatever, keep the conflict to a MINIMUM. Seriously. None of these two-season long arcs with the characters being all lame. Look at Grey’s Anatomy – first two seasons – best ever. Later seasons where everyone is unhappy and dying/crying all the time to Radiohead and other sweet indie music – BORING!

In other news, I need to start packing!! I’m way too late on this and meanwhile the amount of stuff I need to throw out just keeps growing and growing. Who wants speakers?!

**Disclaimer: Yes I know conflict mostly makes shows better. But does all the conflict have to make the main characters so LAME?**
