Ok, I'm not going to bash them. So maybe someone can explain them to me, but here are 5 shows I do not either understand or understand why they're entertaining.
1. Lost - What the crap is going on this show? What is it about? In the start, I thought it was about some guys lost on a deserted island. Then I started seeing machines and computers on the island, so I thought they maybe found an alien space command center or something or secret government computer. Now I tune in tonight and there are other people and everyone is wearing beige suits for some reason, what are they janitors or in jail? Everytime I watch this show, I get the same result: "what the crap is going on?"
2. Desperate Housewives - What do people get out of this show. The over the top drama and stereotypes are so ridiculous and so absurd how can anyone take this seriously. Every week someone is cheating on someone, someone is hiding something, someone doing something mischevious, or something is getting in some trouble. Drama for the sake of drama? I seriously think daytime soap operas are more believable because at least they don't pander to the "suburban housewife who on the outsides looks get but hides a secret" stereotype to blantently.
3. Dancing With the Stars - Ballroom dancing? Seriously? What is it, 1940? How is watching B- level celebrities dance the same moves over and over week after week entertaining? I could imagine this would have been a good one time show, like a special. But how can this not get old?
4. All the Crime Shows - I'll make this one short. How can other people's misery be considered your entertainment?
5. Heros - This is about the corniest show ever. It's basically a rip off of X-Men except for adults. What grown adult watches a show like this? I would imagine this might be popular for older kids, like something they graduate after watching the X-Men cartoons and Power Rangers. But it's on prime time.
So this doesn't sound too negative, I'll list some shows that get bashed but I enjoy watching from time to time:
American Idol (only the early auditions where Simon says humorous things)
Biggest Loser (interesting to see people's struggles with weight and what they can do if they put their mind to it)
The Amazing Race (this show is cool, enough said)
