I'm really enjoying watching all kinds of old shows on MeTV. I love this channel because all kinds of old shows are on day and night. I really miss these old shows and the best part about them is they were better written than the shows of today. I really think social media has killed some of the TV shows I used to love. Back in the past, writers of the shows didn't have tons of people whining and sniveling about what they wanted or didn't want to see on a show. Now the writers of the shows are all over the Internet reading and interacting with certain fans and then writing according to what those fans want. Who cares about the fans that don't go all over the Internet to snivel or whine about the show?
The Rifleman really entertains me and it's only a half hour long show and it's black and white. I don't think I could ever watch it in color. It would look so different. I love seeing all kinds of old stars on there. There were a bunch of them. The best part of watching The Rifleman is that I feel good when it's over and I'm smiling and happy. That's what TV is all about for me. I use TV to make me feel better and when I've had a bad day, it's nice to turn on the TV and watch a show that will make me smile and laugh. I love Chuck Connors and Johnny Crawford. I bought one of Johnny Crawford's albums and I love it. I love that I found a great show to watch and a great singer to listen to. I can't believe that I'm so excited after work to get home and watch The Rifleman. I haven't been this excited to watch a show in a really long time.
I think The Rifleman raised from not even registering on my all time favorite list of TV shows to hitting the top ten. Right now it's my favorite show and I can't get enough of it. I watch it on my TV and on Hulu.
Now onto Supernatural. How far it has fallen? I remember a time when I would have said that Supernatural was my all time favorite TV show ever, now it has fallen so far. Now it would place somewhere in my top 50 shows and closer to 50 than to 1. I've been waiting for how long for Supernatural to go back to being exciting and entertaining again, but it hasn't happened and I doubt it will happen in season 9. If it does, I'll be shocked as hell. One thing that has really killed Supernatural for me over the last five years is the relationship between Sam and Dean. They act like enemies or business partners most of the time instead of brothers who love each other and would do anything for each other. In the first three seasons, I felt something watching them and now I feel nothing when they hug or talk to each other. There's just nothing there and Jared and Jensen can't even make me feel anything anymore. Supernatural does not surprise me or make me happy anymore. I realize I was addicted to the show and nothing more. And like an addiction, I thought I needed to watch Supernatural or it would be the end of the world or something. Supernatural has actually made me feel miserable at times and it's made other fans feel like that as well, whether they admit to it or not.
I still miss my little Sammy and Pet Society. I think Little Sammy kept me tied to Supernatural and now that he's gone, so is all my love for Supernatural. I still love Vampire Diaries because it's still going strong and it surprises me every week and makes me happy and I love Ian and Paul. Stefan and Damon right now are my favorite TV brothers because even after everything and through the years, they still treat each other like brothers and care about each other.
I guess that's all for now. There's still a good month or so until the new TV season starts and I'll be enjoying watching The Rifleman until then.
