SOMETHING NEW! The people are dying for some quality entertainment here!

I sincerely believe that TV has taken a turn for the worse.

In fact most entertainment has, but I seem to be particularly picky about this topic. Personally, if I’m going to dedicate my time every week, or even a spot on my TiVo every week, I need something that continually captures my attention.

I mourn the death of “Lost” every Wednesday. A great sci-fi mystery thriller show is due to replace it. Yes, “Fringe” is alright when you’re really bored, but everything else just seems repetitive. I don’t want to see anymore futuristic men with the power to read minds and in the mean times there a cute love story and a bad home life, blah blah blah.

I request some originality. Recycled plot lines are way to common.

Reality TV is also not what it used to be. I blame VH1’s CelebReality, particularly Bret Michaels.

Simon Cowell is also to blame. I know this summer we all followed the death of “American Idol”. It is now a living zombie, trying to prosper in the entertainment world. But come on, watching American Idol die has been more entertaining than the last couple seasons.

The reality TV fad that has seriously seemed too caught on is one sampled from an actually decent TV show. The fad I am referring to is “Housewives”.

Even though “Jersey Housewives” is hilarious, I’ve come to boycott everything Jersey ever since Snooki hit the scene. My favorite Housewives show is “D.C. Housewives”. It’s like watching my rich friends parents fight. They also try to plan parties as if they were in the L.A. scene. It’s hard to captivate a large audience with so much east coast politics.

HBO seems to be the only channel that has anything worth watching now-a-days. “Entourage” is frequently recorded at my house, but the thing about HBO is not everyone gets it.

Basically this is a small call for all the sad TV watchers out there.
