Desperately Lost in Reruns
Where, oh where have my little shows gone? Oh where, oh where can they be? I was really hooked on Lost and Desperate Housewives at the beginning of the new season. I am just sick and tired of my shows happening every other week, or every 3rd week, or every month. I know that awards show season just passed us, but for crying out loud, I have no idea what last happened on Desperate Housewives! Was it the gay thing, the shot thing, the Dana thing? I really could not tell you. It has been literally over a month since a new episode aired. Hint to the execs; we lose interest if we don't see the product, or if we see a repeat of a story we already know. Keep the new stuff coming, or don't f***ing bother! I feel like Homer screaming @ Moe, when he stole the formula for his famous Flaming Homer. Homer: "You've lost a customer!" Moe: "What?" Homer: "You've lost a customer!" No one can hear me, cuz the rest of America is nodding and happily accepting that they have already seen some of these episodes. They have no concept of time or what they have already digested. For example, how many times have I talked to acquaintances about a film, and they "think" they have seen it. How do you not know? Either you did, or you did not. Merrily we roll along in our carefree la-la land. Now to Lost. You're new, you're not new. You're new, you're not new. Consistency is not a bad thing. Giving your viewers what they want is not a bad thing. Second hint: the long waits in between episodes do not create suspense, or anticipation. They create memory loss, anger and impatience. Did Sawyer and Jack's father actually meet? I don't know, I just recall that there was a polar bear or something. Who's Hurley? The production values, stories and acting are top notch on these shows, but it doesn't do a whole helluva lot of good when they're never on.
