and randomly I'll have like a moment of clarity where I realize this show is not made for me. Something's not clicking the way it's supposed to. I'm just not getting it.
It doesn't come off that way at first. It's just an interesting thought I have about whatever is going on on my screen which upon further reflection explains a lot. Granted, there aren't that many media choices out there for mid-20 single females with awkward social graces that failed in life and end up living like losers with their parents. (God. I just labeled myself with the word mid-20.) Don't get me wrong. There's plenty of Judd Apatow out there for the afflicted males amongst us, but us girls don't get many choices now do we? And it's funny but because of my weird schedule, it takes quite an effort to catch up on particular shows. Thus, I only watch things I really like so most of these shows are in the favorite territory for me.
Anyways, here's a list of the shows I watch and why I probably shouldn't be watching them.
Skins - Alo's parents were right for taking his things away. He blew up a cow! Boy needs to learn some respect and start acting right. He thinks he's a kid but the real world is coming and unless he buckles down they're going to be washing his dirty socks until they die.
Any adult cartoon (Futurama included) - That was crude. Crudeness isn't funny.
Skate videos or Jackass (work thing mostly) - That looks like it hurts. They should take him to the hospital instead of filming him. These are horrible friends.
Parenthood (previously Brothers and Sisters) -
Though I'm embarrassed to say that I used to watch Brothers and Sisters. But the character I relate to the most is one of the kids' friends who is only in one episode, has no lines, and has that look on his face that says your family is kind of weird. Like, why do these people all talk to their families so much?
Any anime - Why are they emoting that way? Don't they understand subtlety?
Any sports (work again) - Sports are futile. What's the point?
How I Met Your Mother - These people all sleep around too much and everything is about sex. Why does he want to get married anyways?
Glee - Another musical number? I wish they'd just scrap the songs on this show and say something outright. You know, get on with the plot development. Each song is like two minutes of wasted potential.
Being Human - Nina is the best character on this show.
Community - Okay, nothing much to say here. Just wanted to point out how sad I feel that Pierce doesn't want to be in the study group anymore. Remember two years ago when I thought Pierce was the worst part of the show? I couldn't wait for Chevy Chase to get bored and leave. Remember that though? I'm sorry for ever feeling that way.
And I reiterate, this is pretty much all I watch in the 4 or 5 hours of TV viewing I get a week and many of these things are favorites.
I suppose there's some silver lining moral here about having a mind of your own and not accepting everything others offer you with blind faith. Be your own person and what not. But I find it hard to focus on such trivialities when there are bigger answers to find. Such as, what do I do now that everything is over? How do am I supposed to wait until fall? And yes, the basketball season is over. I don't care that the finals barely started. It's over I tell you!
In conclusion, Community is awesome and Everybody Loves Hypnotoad is back June 23rd. Here. Catch up on some reruns to tide you over.
