just a little rant

April 20 2007
lately i have become more disappointed with some of the shows i watch. like grey's anatomy for instance. the show used to be light and fun. now it is way dramatic and full of scandal. there is a ridiculous amount of married cheating men on the show and desperate women just concerned about themselves. it is turning more into a day time soap type of show. and what is even more sad is that in a way shows like this set the trend. there are women who are in love with a taken man, whether just in a relationship or married. she may see this and think "maybe i should try to pursue him", completely throwing her self-respcect right out the window. i know it is just a show... but it is still disappointing. high school girls watch that. and they are more vulnerable to accept that as reality, like happy ending romantic movies. those type of shows and movies never show the harsh reality of adultry and broken relationships... and the hardships people face in marriage or serious relationships. and no, i guess that would not make good television. but whatever, this is my rant :-). i hate that producers feel that they HAVE to put so much sex and adultry into shows to keep up the ratings. and it is sad because it is true that they have to do that. it is the way things are now. i guess i sound like one of those crazy old ladies, but i don't care....

another thing that is sad is that younger girls may look up to the characters on these shows. and that is sad because those characters, like izzie or meredith have no self-respect or concern for others. they both went after married men and think everything is great in the world. and those men obviously are dirty pigs (hahahaha like most men, right?) and have no respect for anything other than themselves.

oh but anyway... that is my rant on that.

so, phusebox friend, how are you doing?

well, i think that grey's anatomy does a decent job of showing consequences of adultry ... i think it's always been pretty dark/soapy for a prime time show .. i do agree there is way too much sex on television, and it does affect my views on relationships/reality of sex in general, even when i try not to let it.

I agree with what you're saying about Grey's Anatomy and all of the sex and adultry. It is a bad influence on younger kids watching the show. But there are some redeeming qualities about that show and many of the shows like it. As Lexie mentioned, he show does do a decent job of showing the consequences of adultery. Granted the show sort of condone that behavior, they also show that is is bad and nothing good comes of it. I think that people watching the show also need to take in to account that the show is just a show made for entertaining people's needs for drama and scandal, not an example of how we are all to live and treat people. Besides, not everything that happens on that show and shows like it is bad.

well, in a way it has shown the negative results... but meredith and derek are together and fine. and addison and meredith actually speak sometimes... and who would actually do that?! not me. and don't get me wrong, i still like grey's. its a pretty good show. and i realize not all of it is "bad". i was just ranting about those general things on shows... and greys was the one i just watched. but even 6 degrees, which had barely any sex and junk now is ALL about that. and even LOST is showing more stuff. and i agree that people need to take in account of entertainment, but some people don't. i for one understand that, don't necessarily like it, but understand. but some younger girls, just forming their views and understanding of relationships may not understand that. but anyway. thanks for the feedback guys!
