Television Today

"Oh boy! American Idol is on tonight!"
"Ya, i love it <3 but the hills is better lol"

ugh.... What have we been reduced to? Instead of being encouraged to release something original tv today is just a bunch of stupid reality shows recycling the same ideas(flavor of love, i love new york, rock of love, Daisy of love, *facepalm*), an 8th season of American Idol(or something). And what is this saying to people today? That they should be just like everyone else because they'll get their 2-plus seasons of fame and then be "a famous socialite". I can honestly say that I HATE that phrase. What future do you have being a "socialite"? I mean, what the hell does that even mean? You want to live the life of Paris Hilton? You want a show called "Paris Hilton's BFF"(or something like that)? In the end, it all seems to boil down to ignorance caused by apathy. Apathy towards learning, knowledge, and doing the right thing.

Every now and then a good, original, show comes along as a pleasant surprise. Something like Mythbusters, Time Warp, Made, True Life, Dirty Jobs(a lot I'm missing but you get the idea). Shows that don't have to "push the boundaries" of whats already there, but actually make their own, new area, without boundaries because no ones been there before. But nowadays, everyone's too afraid to present a new idea because it different, it won't fit the same American Idol, Laguna Beach, X of Love mold....
