TV Craziness

Have you noticed that most of the new shows now are what I consider freaky? For example, the show Lost. I'm sorry to my family and friends that are obsessed with the show, and yes it is interesting, but it's freaky! These people are trapped on an island with weird things happening that they can't explain, there's something about a big hole in the ground and someone living in it or something, there's a polar bear or something on the island, a dude that used to be paralyzed can all of the sudden walk, and I'm sure there's a whole bunch of other freaky stuff that has happened, because I've only watched 2 episodes. Another example: the show that my mother is currently watching. It's called Invasion, and so far it looks freaky. (I'm not in here by choice, it's where the computer is) There's death, unexplained creatures, and so far this blonde lady that seems kind of weird. Oh great, now there's a freaky priest or something. The freakiest part? All of this disaster was caused by a huge HURRICANE! As if people haven't been effected enough by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, there's now a show about the same type of disaster but with aliens thrown into the mix! Weird coincidence.

Ok, so what's my point? What happened to the happy shows that made you laugh? The days of Cheers, Night Court, The Cosby Show, Seinfield, Seinfield, Friends (I don't care who you are, you have to admit that it's funny), and Frasier? Why so much drama? If laughter is the best medicine aren't we hurting our health by getting so intrigued in these intricate webs of fabricated and exaggerated situations? Do yourself a favor. Watch a funny movie. Or even a romantic comedy to get that warm fuzzy feeling. Have a happy evening.

"Knights of Camelot: [singing] We're knights of the Round Table, we dance whene'er we're able. We do routines and chorus scenes with footwork impec-cable, We dine well here in Camelot, we eat ham and jam and Spam a lot. / We're knights of the Round Table, our shows are for-mi-dable. But many times we're given rhymes that are quite un-sing-able, We're opera mad in Camelot, we sing from the diaphragm a lot. / In war we're tough and able, Quite in-de-fa-ti-gable. Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable / It's a busy life in Camelot
[solo]
Knights of Camelot: I have to push the pram a lot." .....Now didn't that make you smile? :)
