"SMASH" blindness.... — Page 4

I'm glad to see it did well. I had low expectations and actually figured that I'd just "check in" for a few minutes last night. I ended up watching the whole episode - I found it to be very engaging. I hope they find a solid repeat audience.

God, I just can't. I tried to get through the second episode and gave up about 20 minutes in. I just don't think it's going to be for me.

I watch it for everything. I like the trashy sitcom aspect of it, the incongruities of it, and the talent.

It's commercial tv, I'm not expecting a documentary. I watch plenty of those-I like my share of tv fun.

---

^ then why bother to try?

---

I get what you're saying Jersey Girl but even with not the best script in your opinion- it's still better than Khate Gosselin, the Kardashians, Jersey Shore, The Bachelor... well, you get the picture. We viewers have to get these NO TALENTS off of our tv's. Stepping off my soap box now!

JG2- Teen Mom is the worst one! I hate seeing these girls on the cover of magazines at the grocery store. If one of them shows up on Dancing with the Stars I will have to shoot myself! lol

I still don't get how you can watch that reality show regularly but Smash was so heinously bad you couldn't get through an episode? Is it really that unentertaining? (I made up that word, lol)

---

Okay JG2- I'll try not to make you feel any more guilty- wait one more time- Teen Mom- Really? If you can make it through that- then Smash should be a piece of cake. I read somewhere that the writing gets better in a few episodes. I'm still gonna support it! Now if we can get some of the other crap off tv. What's gonna happen in a few years when kids look back at television shows that were popular. There aren't even any more theme songs?

I KNOW, SupportiveMom... I can't explain it. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do any drugs. I am getting off the food that has been my addiction for years. I guess I need a vice. lol It must be my transfer addiction.

I guess I am TOO analytical of scripted drama. I looked so forward to Grimm and then couldn't get through like 4 episodes. I like shows that I can get lost in. I love Downton Abbey, Mad Men, Sons of Anarchy, The Borgias, Game of Thrones, Once Upon a Time, Shameless and Parenthood, all of which I think are excellent. On the other hand I also watch Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, True Blood and Glee like they are crack. I think those fall under the category of addiction.

Another thing to consider is that I am out of the country, so almost everything I watch from the US requires a download or internet streaming with a proxy server. I watch too many shows as it is. It takes more effort than just setting the DVR or flipping the channel.

I spoke too soon. I got bored and had a few episodes downloaded, so I tried again. I am still not hooked, but I think it's getting better.

I don't like how bitchy Ivy is to Karen. It doesn't seem to fit, somehow.

---

Meh, I like it. It's just fun entertainment. But I can see how people wouldn't be into it. And yeah, Ivy is a complete bitch.
