Weeds (2005–2012)

This and Gilmore Girls

[2/10 · 22 December 2008]

Both have the same, irritatingly glaring writing problem. Maybe it's just shere inexperience on the writers' part, not that the bulk of the sheep audience would notice as their mouth hang open, breathing heavily as they chuckle at elementary jokes.

But I digress, the problem is that every.single.character basically has the same personality. It is obvious that the writers simply do not know how to write for different characters. I'm sure you've noticed it taken to the extreme if you've seen "Gilmore Girls". Every person, from the 10 year old girl to the 50 year old business man, are nauseatingly clever and witty in every remark they spit out at 50 words a second as they banter in every scene.

But, both Gilmore Girls and Weeds are popular, which isn't surprising as most TV, these shows included, simply cater to the lowest common denominator. It's good business to cater to the majority.

The Girls Next Door (2005–2010)

Like watching a zombie movie

[27 September 2008]

You have these not so bright blondes running around, and hef looking like he's just risen from a grave out for some brains.

All joking aside, I don't get why anyone would watch this, "light hearted fun" I believe someone commented. It is literally about nothing, just hef's girlfriends talking about nothing and doing nothing really.

Only reason I'm commenting is because it's 5 in the morning, perfect time to air some show no one watches but the channel has to dump somewhere.

It's a bit more than disturbing for me. I know people like celebrity gossip and watching celebrities living their every day life(not that these girls can be called celebrities by any stretch of the imagination). But who on earth wants to know about hugh hefners sex life, let alone watch a reality show about it?
