21st Century TV shows = No Originality

Not sure what you all are looking for.

I like the FX series, Dirt, The Shield, The Riches, Rescue Me, Damages, Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, 30 Days, plus a couple that have already been canceled. The Shield will be showing its last season. In the week before last episode of Dirt there was a full on twat shot. That was original.

AMC has a show called Breaking Bad, which is an excellent show and highly recommended, - by me - It is an original. Check it out. They also have Mad Men, which I haven't seen yet.

But the question isn't about predictability. James Bond movies are some of the most renowned in the world, and they are very popular. House is not really something taken from any prior TV shows, and that is the question. Superman and Batman movies are predictable. Obviously the super hero will win, but again they are very popular, and considered to be very good works of art. So how can you discount House just because the plot is predictable. The characters are extremely interesting.

I just can't get into movies or shows when I know exactly what is going to happen. House saves the patient with his rebel ways of medicine. James Bond will use gadgets and save the day. Ocean's 13 will have horrible dialogue and they will steal something is some huge elaborate way. I need more.

If you overgeneralize something then you can come to the conclusion that pretty much everything ever made all fits into one of 4 or 5 categories of the same thing.

I'm just picky when it comes to movies and shows. I should be a film critic but there are way too many of those. You just know critics get paid out the ass from studios execs to say their shit is good. Next time I hear USA Today say a Martin Lawrence film is the best comedy of the year, I will kidnap that critic and make him watch that movie over and over until he/she kills themself.

That's why I don't pay attention to movie critics that get paid to do it.

and Eddie Murray really needs to get into a fat suit one more time

Does it need to be an Orioles, Dodgers, Mets, or Indians suit?
