Upcoming TV Season and Old TV Shows


I've been how excited waiting for all my old TV shows to start and now I'm not that excited. I've been looking at how much stuff lately and I'm so disappointed in what's coming up for how many of my shows. First off is Vampire Diaries. I don't know if I will continue to watch. It was bad enough having to watch the Damon and Elena romance because it was so boring and the Stefan and Caroline romance. Now, there is going to be a lesbian couple. Knowing how Vamp Diaries usually shows a lot of sexual content, I've no doubt that we will see this couple kissing and doing who knows what else. I don't care if the show has a gay couple, but I do not want to see the sexual side of the relationship on my screen. Sometimes I don't even want to see the other couples having sex. It sometimes is more explicit than a rated R movie. I remember trying out some new show on CW and there was a gay couple and the sex scene went on for a long time and I finally had to turn the channel. I don't want to see that. If I wanted to watch sex or porn, I would look somewhere else. I want to see good stories and interesting characters, not a ton of sex on TV. I don't care what characters get together or love each other or have sex. I just don't think it needs to be shown on TV. You can have the characters kiss and go in the bedroom and wake up in the morning together and talk about it, but why does it have to be constantly shown like a porno.
I can't believe that ABC has shown promos for Blood and Oil during family shows and it has two characters in the middle of having sex. I guess TV has gone back to permitting everything. Once they got those stupid ratings, they just ended up making shows have more violence, sex and swearing.
I have nothing against gay people or whatever they call that community today, nor do I support them. Frankly, I don't care what people do in their own bedrooms, but I do not want to see how much of it on TV. It seems like all the channels and shows are now jumping on the gay bandwagon and adding or making characters become gay or lesbian. I will watch Once Upon A Time and see what they do with that story. If it becomes too much, then I will be done with the show or I will just tune out those scenes and concentrate on the other characters of the show. As for Vampire Diaries, just watching that clip I saw made me not want to watch at all. I wonder how many more new characters are going to be appearing. I've always loved new characters, but lately, I haven't like or cared about any. As for this new lesbian couple, don't care about them already, nor do I want to see that. Thursday night is going to be crammed with shows and I know I'll be watching The Blacklist, but I don't know about any other show. It will depend when Sleepy Hollow is on, whether I watch it or not.
I'm excited for Gotham and I hope it stays good. I personally loved last year and I hate how they keep saying they've improved the show from last season and it will be better. I loved the first season and I guess I'll see if I love the second season or not. I'm sure the writers are going to make the show more like a soap opera, like everything else on TV. It seems like that's what all the shows I watch are. Just night time soaps.
I've been watching old TV shows and remembering why I loved them so much. They were mostly free from all the crap of TV today. A lot of them made you laugh and smile and feel good inside. That's the main reason I've loved TV. I want to watch something that will be as far away from my life as possible and something that will make me feel good. I've been watching High Mountain Rangers on YouTube and I remember how much I loved that show. It didn't have very many episodes, but it was a great show.
I also started to watch Friday The 13th: The series. I love this show now as much or more as I loved it back when I was younger. I loved the characters and the story. I loved how they were trying to get back all those cursed objects and what all the objects did. Maybe that's why I loved Supernaturals first season so much because it was like this show. Now, Supernatural is a soap opera and Sam and Dean do more harm than good. At least Mickey and Ryan didn't know about the antiques when they sold them, but after they sold some, they tried to get them back, plus what their uncle had sold.
I bought the DVDs to watch of the first two seasons and I've been watching on my Kindle.
To finish this post, I will say I'm excited for The Voice and Shark Tank to come on. I started watching Shark Tank and I love it now. I guess I'm starting to love reality shows or something. I remember a time when I hated them and would not watch them at all. I guess with the decline of good scripted shows and dramas, then that's all you have left.
Here's to hoping that some of my shows will be good. I don't know if I'll be watching all my favorite shows this season or not. Or if they will remain my favorites. TV keeps going downhill and I find myself reading more books again.
I guess time will tell and I'll watch and see what happens.
