Television of Tomorrow = Shows of Yesterday

Instead of making anything new, television of the future will simply rehash the shows of the past. It’s sad that creativity has been put to the wayside to accommodate laziness and a lack of anything good.

Netflix is making “Fuller House,” a “Full House” spinoff featuring DJ and Kimmy. I don’t know, maybe it will be awesome to someone, but in my opinion it’ll probably be terrible–definitely not something I’d care to watch. I mean, DJ was not the main attraction of the original show. And Kimmy was just there so Danny could verbally abuse a child that wasn’t his own.

Take “Boy Meets World” for example. Why did I love it as a kid? Because of the epic friendship between Shawn and Cory. The whole Topanga thing just kind of happened, their relationship and marriage took over, and I wasn’t too sad to see the show end. (Though I feel awful that Shawn went camping with those people and ended up getting that disgusting flesh eating bacteria. He should have known to boil his water–didn’t Mr. Matthews work at a sporting goods store?)

And now they’re going to be rebooting “Coach,” “Twin Peaks,” and there’s an “X-Files” mini-series in the works. It just makes me go “Ugh.”

Interesting and fun shows like “Almost Human,” “Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles,” and “Bad Judge” get cancelled. And shows we only watched because there was nothing better on in the nineties get rebooted.

Gee thanks TV. Thanks for failing us once again.

  1. And how many TV shows and movies have been based on books someone else wrote? I’ve totally lost count. Recently I saw a preview for a new tv series about werewolves called Bitten. I have the book. (Kelly Armstrong).
    The list is getting ridiculously long, and that’s just the ones I know about. I don’t even bother watching tv most of the time.
