Okay, I got bored, so I decided to type up a rant on the dwindling quality of America's favorite pastime, thats right, Television. This is in the joke threads because I like to make my rants humorous.
TV is crap. I swear. Today, all the good stuff is either gone or has jumped the shark, while the bad stuff thrives and the new stuff only gets worse and worse (I'm looking at YOU Johnny Test).
Though thats not to say the stuff in the past was any better. I Am Weasel was just stupid compared to the awesome that practically radiated from its preccesor Cow and Chicken. Dragonball Z was stupid as hell, despite how popular it is, and Pokemon? Well, lets just say things haven't been the same since Misty left. Another example is all those cheesy as f*ck family sitcoms, of which the only ones I ever actually liked was Family Matters (f*ck you Urkel, you magnificent bastard) and Fresh Prince of Bel-air ("YO HOMES SMELL YA LATER!"). Boy Meets World is a good example of some 90's sitcom crap. I mean, the title doesn't even make sense. How does a title like "Boy Meets World" constitue to a show thats basically the cast of Friends in high school? If I made a show called Boy Meets World, it'd be about a young boy, born with a brilliant mind, with dreams of wonder of the betterment of mankind, a brighter future. Then, he "meets" the world, a cold, unforgiving crapsack of a place, filled with rape, murder, war, pestilence, starvation, disatsters, greed, a shock of reality destroys his hope in the world, and he entertains the audiences with his emoness and snide remarks for the idiots that killed his dreams. THAT, should be titled "Boy Meets World", but instead we got pedophile fodder. And Full House, oh god, the lords of cheese. I mean, it's bad enough it had Bob Saget in it, but the character played by the Olsen Twins got annoying after the first f*cking episode she learned how to talk. It's a moral every freaking episode that always ends in hugs and puppies, despite the fact your underage daughter just drove the pickup truck through the f*cking wall (and I am not making that up). Now stuff like Fresh Prince of Bel-air and Family Matters had cla$$. Urkel was a total f*cking nerd, and Will was a loveable jacka$$ most of the time, none of that little kid with ridicuously "cute" catchphrases learns a valuable lesson crap. Really, if I was in charge of what shows on TV, it'd be Invader ZIM, Azumanga Daioh, Dexter's Lab, Fresh Prince, Teen Titans, Homestar Runner and The Simpsons all the time, and maybe some South Park, so I have an excuse to be allowed to watch it. So, in short, TV is crap. Thank you
