There All the Same
I don't watch much tv anymore, but I noticed that the few shows that I do watch all seem to be the same as the episode before them. I thought this fit in well with this weeks reading because of the narrative subject, and talking about structure. I used to watch CSI Miami, but I stopped watching it because the episodes all seem to be the same just with different stories. They always open in the crime scene, and the detectives are always dramatic about what happened. The next 35 minutes are spent investigating and talking to different suspects. The last 10 minutes they usually find the criminal or criminals involved and charge them. Many of the episodes end with Horatio putting his sunglasses on and walking away. It was always too easy to predict what was going to happen in each episode, and I guess I got bored of this repetition. I just cant seem to find a television show that I really enjoy anymore. I guess there all just the same.

Yeah i really hate any show or movie that is predictable!, it really takes the fun out of figuring it out for yourself. I really hate reality television, but i must say the one show i really do enjoy is "Biggest Loser", because its all real life stuff, people losing a ton of weight, and other people struggling to lose it. I find the show very inspiring for someone trying to get healthy, and it is as real as it gets for reality television standards. Other reality shows like those MTV ones really annoy me, as does the bachelor and bachelorette and all those dating shows, because i find them mostly fictitious for the most part
