What is up with TV?

Ok, as I know I've said repeatedly, I watch waaaayyyy too much tv. Way too much. Put it this way. I scour the Internet just to find out which shows are getting cancelled, so I can celebrate. And take them off my PVR (think Canadian TIVO). My PVR, which at any given moment, is precariously close to being completely full.

The biggest cause for celebration? 7th Heaven. This is the last season. I can't really say why I watch this show. I hate it. I spend the hour yelling at the tv because it's just that bad. The plotlines are ridiculous. The acting is atrocious. And any of us who've had premarital sex? Yeah, we're all going to hell. Kinda a funny sentiment, coming from the guy who writes bad porn. (Yes, I've read it, or tried to and couldn't finish it).

But I'm noticing that a lot of the shows that I do enjoy are just sucking the big one this season.

Alias? So not into it this year. Ok, yes, I know Jen's pregnant and can't do all the cool shit we've come to love, but if you're gonna bring new characters to flesh things out, at least bring back the baddies we've come to love. A little Anna Espinosa, a Julian Sark, or, please, please, please, SpyMommy. Hell, Summerland and Kitchen Confidential just got cancelled, bring back Francie and Will! But JJ, seriously, Lost rocks. We love it. Now bring us back the Alias Love.

Another show I've become addicted to? The L Word. The women in this show are just such strong characters and I got sucked into their world and the whole interplay between them... last season. This season, it's all about Jenny going coocoo for cocoa puffs. And it's getting more than a little tedious. I actually did a dance of joy this week when they announced that next week is the season finale.

But the worst committer of the wtf crime? One of my guilty pleasures (ahh, who'm I kidding, they're all gullty pleasures *grin*) is What I Like About You. Please explain to me why dating Holly turns men into wussies? Seriously, first Ben, starts out all suave English rocker, and then Holly dumps him, and he's whiny geek-boy. And now poor Vince goes from "I'll do anything with tits" to stuttering idiot boy. Can we have a little realism please people?

And don't even get me started on the train wreck that is Charmed. The show ended perfectly last season. This comeback just feels pathetic.

Makes me wonder why I'm giving my PVR such a workout dammit.
