....and so the darkness falls.

[Lucky13]

Have you all noticed the trend with all those dark dramas that seems to pop up now.....

 

[JohnAnthony]

Are you talking TV? I don't know what you blokes have going on over there but here in the US most of the offerings are a vast wasteland of vapidity. I could use a real drama.

 

[Lucky13]

TV indeed mate....Dexter, Haven, that vampire drama, The Walking Dead...

 

[JohnAnthony]

Well it is the season of Halloween after all.

 

[Njaco]

Wheres good ole "Law Order" when you need it!?

 

[Lucky13]

Or Hogan's Heroes?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I was thinking Bugs Bunny.

 

[bobbysocks]

how about the smothers brothers, ed sullivan or jackie gleason?? i miss a good variety show

 

[RabidAlien]

Simpsons are still on, right? Heck, I'm with JohnAnthony (awesome avatar, BTW! )...there's nothing worth watching on TV anymore.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Sons of Arnachy is excellent. Between that, House, NCIS and Law and Order I really could do without it. Well, at least until Justified comes back on.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

My partner watches them all.............avidly.............that's why I'm on the forum most evenings. If I go to the hanger, I'm not socialising.

Don't forget Wallander
that's pretty dark, if only because he's the most miserable life-form in Schveeeden

 

[Lucky13]

Who and where??

 

[Colin1]

Who and where??

Wallander
that Swedish detective. Seems to walk around under his own personal dark cloud.

Sweden funnily enough

 

[Maximowitz]

Have you all noticed the trend with all those dark dramas that seems to pop up now.....

You mean Wallander on BBC4 Jan?

 

[Colin1]

You mean Wallander on BBC4 Jan?

You're not going to believe this Paul - he's never heard of him.

Or Schveeeden for that matter..

 

[Lucky13]

Oh...right....

 

[Bucksnort101]

TV sucks, and I'm not just talking about the Vampire shows I watcha few shows when I get a chance, but for the most part I've given up watching most Television as most is predicatable, poorly acted, and just the same old stuff week after week

 

[Airframes]

That's the main reason I never replaced my TV went it went 'putt'. Having worked with a couple of TV production companies over the last few years, it doesn't surprise me that the programmes are so bad (on British TV anyway). Even at the basic levels, in, for instance, research and design, it's evident that the work is done by new graduates, who seem to use very basic reference sources, and by the time it gets to the screen, most isn't worth watching. And as for the 'band wagon' of the cheap, inane drivel known as 'reality TV' - b*ll*cks !!
