I was speaking with coworkers about TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES’ Tuesday. What you thought I did this for a living? I take the old axiom ‘don’t quit you day job’ to heart. Any way, these two fellows, one a rather macho conservative mundane and the other a very narrowly focused fan of ‘Nightmare before Christmas’, both said they didn’t like it because there was to much dialog. They said they wanted an explosion every two minutes like the movies. I don’t remember there being that many but as the conversation progressed I found out the first didn’t watch past the opening credits and the latter saw the last 20 minutes.
People please watch the show before forming an opinion. These same two are ‘Great Race’ fanatics. I have never and will never watch the show but I’m quite familiar with it from there long recaps they give after each airing. From what I’ve heard it’s the definition of visual pabulum. It saddens me how well written shows get cancelled because the average Neilson viewer seems to be a lazy half-whit who needs the laugh track to know when some thing’s funny.
People can you do this for me, please. If you haven’t seen a show; say so and shut-up. If you’ve seen it and don’t like it, be informed enough to say what you don’t like in an intelligent manner, other wise; shut up. The same goes in reverse. Don’t gush over your favorite show unless you can sell it! I’ve met many people turned off by the fans long before they had a chance to see what all the fuss was about.
And don’t get me started on, reviewers those waists of space. Another time. I need have a beer and lay down. Later folks.
