Of course you would know if the world was going to end right?

I have to agree with your theory. Most shows do so well in their first season, and then when that season's conflict is over, they have to come up with something else to keep it going because it was good ratings. I already feel that way with Glee this season, which is unfortunate because it's my favorite show. So far it feels very forced. None of the episodes have been natural towards the storyline like the first season was, and all the song choices have been harsh. But I still watch it because I love Kurt (Chris Colfer) and I want to see how they play out the season.

Fauxreal 10-19-2010 03:33 AM

I don't know - I think I have been enjoying myself with glee! I just need some songs I can sing along too honestly. And yes! I love Kurt!

Cami 10-19-2010 03:36 AM

I like the songs in glee. I only kind of watch the episodes.

Rylynne 10-19-2010 03:54 AM

Glee is my go-to show to be silly. xDD;; I don't have to think too much when I watch it, and I need a stress reliever! Plus, I love their covers (the songs in Duets were really nicely done, I think ^^), so why not right? >;P <3<3

I agree with your theory as well, Cami. :'> I guess that's why the "shows about nothing" kind of series stay on the longest with the most number of seasons (ex. Seinfeld, Friends, etc), because the problems with continuity and plot aren't as evident. xDD;; Well, those kinds of shows and "cop" shows like CSI and all, I guess. ^^;;

I think I need a new series to get into though. D:
Right now I have Glee, Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries (recently got into it for no real reason xDD), How I Met Your Mother, Criminal Minds, Bones, the CSIs (occasionally), and Big Bang Theory (occasionally as well). Something seems missing from my list. >.<;;

Cora 10-19-2010 04:02 AM

Criminal Minds= Love!

But the only show I could not get rid of like EVER is Castle. Nathan Fillian is hot ^.^

Rylynne 10-19-2010 04:03 AM

Nathan Fillian is forever going to be Captain Hammer from the short movie Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog for me. xDD;; When I tried watching Castle before all I could imagine was him singing. XP

Cami 10-19-2010 04:04 AM

I love How I Met Your Mother, but you can see the first season thing there too. The first season started with Lily and Marshall getting engaged and Ted and Robin going on their first disastrous date and deciding to just be friend. There's a couple of easily identified plots going through the season. And the last episode has Lily and Marshall breaking up and Ted and Robin getting together. I still love it for its humor and characters, but it has much less direction and overarching plot.

Other shows I like are Chuck, Community, Psych, and Modern Family. Oh, and Doctor Who.

----------

For the record, I've never seen Castle, but the fact that Captain Hammer is in it makes me want to.

Rylynne 10-19-2010 04:09 AM

That's true. :'< I'm mainly still following it because I love the cast so much. xDD;; And I really want to know who the mother is! In my own little world it's Robin, but that's just me. ^^;;

I'm also hoping though that How I Met Your Mother doesn't extend for another two or more seasons though. >.<;; Seriously, the premise is kind of being stretched for far too long. I love the show, believe me, but I may just lose respect for them if they keep trying to milk the show for all its worth like this. D: Their premise can only hold for so long, you know. ^^;;

And oh! I used to watch Chuck, but I sort of forgot about it. xDD;; I should get into that again. And I watched a couple episodes of Modern Family before as well. Might get into that as well, if I find more time. :'> Never heard of Community though. o_o;;

Cami 10-19-2010 04:12 AM

Community is hilarious in all the wrong ways. They mostly parody other things, and, though it has its ups and downs, when it's good, it's fabulous. There was one episode which may well go down in history of the best episode of anything ever in which there's a paintball tournament in the school and it's all done as this sort of after apocalypse over the top action movie.

Rylynne 10-19-2010 04:14 AM

Sounds real interesting! =O I may try and watch a preview or something then. :'> Gonna search for it later, since my sad sad country doesn't show it regularly on TV. xDD;;

Cami 10-19-2010 04:21 AM

Aww. Evil sad sad country.

Okays. I gots to head to bed. <3 Laters.

Rylynne 10-19-2010 04:22 AM

Night then~! ^^
Nice to finally get to chat with you again after so long. XP <3<3

Fauxreal 10-19-2010 04:24 AM

I like Modern Family - that is a good show. And I watch Mike and Molly - it's just feel good! And takes place in Chicago!

Rylynne 10-19-2010 04:25 AM

What is Mike and Molly? =O Is that a comedy show?


*pokes the living hell out of lurker Keyori btw*
xDD;;

Fauxreal 10-19-2010 04:26 AM

Yup, it's a sitcom - I don't think it's going to go anywhere ~ But it's just a simple little show and super adorable.

Rylynne 10-19-2010 04:27 AM

I'll look it up then to see if I'll be interested in following it then. ^^

never even heard of that before o.0

I want to now though.

Seiki Nova 10-19-2010 05:22 AM

You wanna talk about a show that's still trying to milk what little they've got left? Weeds. Soooo done! If they get another season after this one, I have no idea if I'll be able to make it through until the end. I mean, really. What else could the possibly come up with that they haven't already stretched within an inch of it's life already?

Cora 10-19-2010 05:28 AM

Another show to add to the list... House......I think its close to its end.

Seiki Nova 10-19-2010 05:48 AM

And Gossip Girl. Much as I love it, it should be over now too. It goes like this.

serena is a whore who sleeps with everyone like a male version of chuck without the scheming and can't ever seem to keep a constant friendship with blair who's bipolar attitude makes her the bitch of the show, while deep down underneath all that drama is a very insecure character who's first boyfriend cheated on her with serena who's constant love triangle with dan and nate causes infinite problems with the other characters on the show so that the whole cast is schizophrenic. the end.

Cora 10-19-2010 08:56 AM

wow....never seen gossip girl.....dont intend to now o.0

Rylynne 10-19-2010 09:33 AM

@ Cora : You should totally watch it! xDD;; It's funny and it has an unexpected ending of sorts. >;P It's less than an hour long even. :'> <3<3

@ Seiki : True. xDD;; I love your summary of the series though! So accurate. XP <3<3

Roachi 10-19-2010 09:59 AM

Bwahaha, man that gave me a good laugh :P ^^

OMG TOTALLY! Weeds was SO good at the beginning. I was all about it for like, the first three seasons. Now it's just totally random and they're trying REALLY hard to keep it alive -- you can tell. I hate Nancy. She's a slutty, bossy biatch. Scenes with her in it want to make me scratch my eyes out. Last week's little romp with Mark-Paul Gosselar (sp?) was just too much. I knew she'd be bent over the bar by the end of the episode. I also hate Shane, and I used to like him. T_T Now he thinks he's a thug 'cuz he killed someone. :roll: The only people I still like are Silas (A voice of reason!), Andy and Doug.

I agree with this too! OMG I loved GG, and now I'm just constantly disappointed by every episode. I can't believe they already outsted Frenchie! You'd think they would have kept her around longer. If Chuck was really in love with her, he would have gone back to France. It's not like he can't afford it. :roll: Anyways, yeah, I'm not feeling GG as much as I used to. :( I'm not a fan of Serena -- But then again, I"ve always found her rather annoying. I do like Blair though. She's probably one of my favorite characters. You can definitely see her insecurities -- and yeah, I don't think Blair's that much of a bitch TBH -- she's just trying to get the upper hand because she's been screwed over plenty of times before...

Seiki Nova 10-19-2010 01:37 PM

Sizz, I have to agree that season 3 should have been the ending for the series. Maybe end of season 4 at the latest. It just seems to me that when Agrestic burned down at the end of season 3, it would have been the most reasonable ending spot because it signified an ending of a story, but they just kept on going with it. Silas is my favorite character at this point too. I think Shane was my favorite up until season 5, but no more for the same reasons you mentioned.

As for GG, yes about Frenchie and Chuck. Totally agree there. But no, they needed drama between Chuck and Blair. Blair is a great character. I think out of the entire cast, she has the most redeeming qualities about her besides Eric, but she's so insecure about everything that she puts on this massive front that pretty much ruins the magic of her personal character.
