reality tv is fading? well i can't tell, especially with shows that are still huge like American Idol and the grandfather of them all, Survivor, which seems to still get new fans and stuff, and be a hit, eeeeeeeek!!! but maybe some are fading as theres just like waaaaaaay too many on now, its crazy actually, and annoying lol.
and theres only a few teen shows on the air actaully, well Degrassi, One Tree Hill and the OC, i mean i guess u can count Jack and Bobby and Gilmore Girls, but those are more family oriented, well Gilmore is anywyas. i did see the pilot for Jack andBobby, and it was interesting but just iddn't hold my interest long, but since i'm back with the teen thing, may as well see what i missed so far lol. at least its more of an original idea than most teen stuff that's been on.

more reality tv shows now adays die out...its really only the survivor, fear factors and Idos heading it up now...notice how no one really gives a shit about the bachelor? Or the bachelorette? atleast not like they used to...*Shrugs* least where I am....(We have our own Idol as well as ur idol ) I agree on the annoying tho lol most definatly Yea there are only a few teen shows on the air, but those that are are just carbon copy forms of eatchother. Don't forget summerland that ones not as popular but its still along the same lines..all are pretty much the same issues repeated over and over just change some names and shit around and its the same crap... at least PP gives a sci fi twist to the usual problems...makes it less of a snoozefest

this all kinda makes me think ab out my own HB stories aka Hudson Beach, which i started writing 5 yrs ago. they started out as cool teen stuff, but then i redid them a yr and a half later and i added horror stuff, and i liked htem more, and some ppl liked them more too and others didn't get the change lol. but i need to redo them soon though anyways, well do more stories i mean. so PP had a really cool premise and stuff, and made me think of HB when i first heard of it. Thursdays ep was wicked, all that stuff with Boyd, he's just so evil, u gotta love it hehe. and i forgot to mention another Spelling person is on the show, the mom of Judi was on Melrose for a short time, i think she was with Grant Show's character on taht show for a bit, i could be wrong, but i nkow she was on it though, at the least. when it was on, i asked my mom if she knew that guy, it took her a minute then she said, is that Jake? i was like, ya lol.

all the guys on the show too me look weird, well all but the middle aged guys, not that i notice guys or anythihg lol but if i did, none of those guys would turn my head lol, htey just look weird to me somehow, yes including ur Father Thomas, sorry lol. well Boyd looks cool. and yeah that would be something if Chris did like totally snap and stuff, cuz her power hasn't even really been tapped into yet. and yeah i reember that name now, Salamander Falls. yeah ummm, i was rereading some of my stories and it was fun, i forgot all the lingo and popculture references i had in there, some of which are dated now, since they were written a few yrs ago lol, last one i did was 3 yrs actually. i wanna write a feature length script out of it too, that would be fun.

Aww I love the PP boys!!! Terry is wierd lookin tho lol...I mostly like Jesse and Father Thomas...hehe Boyd is cool lookin..kinda scary btu I htink thats the point lol Yea her powers are all..unknown territory..we dunno how badass she can get..maks me all currious and jittery. Will she be all Carrie on e1 or will she go full out Darth Rosenberg? Hey uve watched the show.all along right? ..I was watchin this preview thing on the official site..and the words at the end were liek "How can they be togetehr when one is destined to kill the other" (Chris and Jesse) and there was all this stuff onthe siteabotu how JEsse is desitned to kill her..yet they havent really coverd it to o much in the show have they? There was his sex dream deal in the 1st ep where she toldhim to kill her..then her destruction dream where he stabbed her...but they never mentioned destined b4 have they? Makes sence tho with what happend last week.....hsi whole "He was dead" deal...just kinda bugs me the site would give that away.... Lol I havent picked up salamander falls in forever..I should prolly get to work on it again....mines full of that kinds stuff too lol. But think of it this way, older ppls shows and stuff are full of pop culture frefrences dated to thier times...outrs are dated to ours so it's allll good cuz..other ppl ur age'll catch em

well umm, no i haven't seen all the eps of PP, remember i never saw the first 2 eps, then i saw the 3rd then i stopped watching then i saw the last 2, but i think there waso nly one ep between the 3rd and the one i started watching it agian on. so i missed maybe 3 or 4 eps. so i didn't know asbout the Jesse/Chris thing but sounds interesting though, i mean the show could go in so many directions since their dealing wtih the big bad of all big bads here, and again i say Boyd is just too cool, he's my fave new bad guy on tv now, hehe, granted not much tv i watch but hehe. i need to check okut the site more i guess and read that stuff u were mentioning, i still don't even know all the names, but the show is cool. and yeah my references aren't that old, i mean they were relevant for 2001 like i know in this one i did that summer, i had a character trying to make her best friend feel better and she said something like "the sun will come out tomorrow, everything will be fine, Buffy will live again." that was just a throwaway liine i had in there but at the time it made since cuz Buffy had died that previous spring, but i mean reading it now its dated, but not too dated, whewre teens wouldn't get it. hehe thats another reason why i love the show u love to boycott, The OC lol, cuz they are just full of the popculture, granted so was Buffy but the OC does it in such a different way, i love pop stuff, as do u. hehe. yeah i so need to do mine again too. when i redid them with the whole horror angle, i had each title be a song title, like the first one was Boys of Summer, which was the one i wrote back in the summer of 2001, and course it was cool how 2 yrs later The Ataris redid that song, a song i love, i love the original more though. anyways me off to watch more season 1, The OC then AMC and GH.

FOX Temporarily Resurrects Tru Calling
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) When FOX Entertainment President Gail Berman insisted to TV critics back in January that the remaining episodes of "Tru Calling" would air at some point, many a reporter chuckled. Well, Berman may be departing FOX for a creative gig at Paramount, but she's true to her word. The much maligned and already effectively cancelled "Calling" will return on Thursday, March 31, replacing the equally maligned and equally effectively cancelled "Point Pleasant."
Originally scheduled to air at 9 p.m. ET on Thursdays after "The O.C." this fall, "Tru Calling" was yanked first for "North Shore" and then for "Point Pleasant" this winter.
"What changed for us was when we saw 'Point Pleasant" we really felt we had a show that was incredibly compatible with 'The O.C.," so our thoughts changed, not so much about 'Tru Calling,' but about the possibility of not only having an exciting show and a winner at 8 o'clock, but also something that could really make headway for us at 9 o'clock," Berman said in January by way of explanation. It turns out that that experiment was a failure. Despite getting a reasonably large sample for its post-"American Idol" sneak preview, "Point Pleasant" averaged all of 4.09 million viewers per episode, shedding nearly half of the audience from its more successful lead-in, "The O.C." Those numbers were right in line with the viewership for "North Shore" in the same time period.
Last season, "Tru Calling" averaged 4.55 million viewers.
The drama, which stars Eliza Dushku as a young woman who can relieve days whenever a corpse asks her to, will begin its six-episode final run with a two-hour premiere on March 31. It will take its planned 9 p.m. slot the following week.
"Point Pleasant" remains tentatively scheduled to air this Thursday before vanishing for the foreseeable future.
and this....
According to FOX.com, Point Pleasant's March 24 episode has been pre-empted as well, leaving no new episodes for the forseeable future.
Looks like Point Pleasant really IS gone for good. This may have something to do with Gail Berman's sudden departure. FOX has deleted all traces of the show from their website, and the direct link to the Point Pleasant site goes to the FOX main page.
However, until an official press release is given, the status of the show will remain on "Hiatus".

yeah, i agree with ya, i hate that, i mean i finally get into the show and was gonna see tonite but noooooooooo, American Idol, i mean geez, it was like on this week already i think. ugh, and yeah i used to bash teh OC, but i really like it now, i';m horrible i know. but thats all i can stand on Fox, is that, nothing else, and the popculture jokes on there are fun though, and i know one ep was written by Jane Espenson, it was cool seeing her name when i was watching a season 1 eppy.
well maybe PP will also get a dvd release a yr from now, joining Firefly and Wonderfalls. sighs, well at least we get Tru, but just for 6 eps isntead of the original promised season 2 full season. but beggers can't be chooserrs, and ur right most of tv does suck, its all reality shit, or crappy sitcoms or cop shows, now u got Blind Justice, cuz right we didn't have enough cop shows as it is, and with all the CSI's and Law and Orders. and even my fave current show is sucking lately, Smallville, this whole season has been lame. u know i think B has the right idea, just watch actual good shows on HBO, like Dead Like Me and Carnivale, plus on those shows they can cuss and stuff, and just get more gritty, so i may rent those finally.
i just can't wait for season 4 of the Dead Zone to start on USA.

Fox is a total piece fo fucken bullshit...why not just play the rest of the season? Atleast for wonderfals ru adn firefly they got a finale... (Well I dunno botu wonderfalls that was an educated guess) The reason Idol was on last nigt was cuz the previous night they fucked up and gave the wrong numbers to call in and vote...so they had to redo the voteoff last night...morons! I hope PP gets to have a DVD...I really wanna know how it ends! I'm starting my fox boycot...only thing Ima watch on fox is the 6 tru eps...cuz I gotta support the Tru and...drooling over Eliza might help calm me I actually watch blind justice...its not a bad show...NYPD Blue ended..thats its replacement...its a diff kinda cop show...but yea I agree too many....have you seen the ads for that new hospital show? ERs hot now...Lets make a zillion more generic hospital shows!! *Rolls eyes* I keep forgetting to check blockbuster for dead like me...maybe I'll do it this week...that show kicks ass man...never saw carnivale..cuz I was at scots when Id watch them shows and a dif show he liekd was on at te same time as it came on here...another origonal show..which now has a copycat...Queer as folk....good canadian show...theres some generic copycat show on bravo now...nothing is origonal anymore, and if it is, its givne the boot. We need to accept the fact that we are stuck in a generic unorigonal era where you get the same old shit over and over...*Sighs*

well yeah Wonderfalls did have a finale too, but it was like a season finale kinda, well it was a cool ending too i guess since the show never came back, but all the first season eps had been shot b4 even one of them had aired. it sux that stupid ass Fox only showed 4 eps, out of the total 13, so tons of stuff Fox never showed happen on the show, like the ongoing feelings of Jaye and Eric. the show had some really funny bits in it too, and i loved how Jaye got so sick of having to listen to the little things that talked to her, it was like she had this power that was a gift and a curse.
and i saw the Tru season 2 promo ad, too bad sesaon 2 is only 6 eps but they don't say that on the promo though. my friend was saying he saw it and he was like oh wow, i thought that show was never gonna come back, so i had to explain to him, thats its just a few eps theire showing, and all that. he was thinking they were going all full season in mid yr lilke 24 and Alias recently did. the first Tru ep is 2 hrs so thats cool, but with that being the case, that probably means 4 eps to follow cuz the 2 hr ep most likelky counts as 2 eps, so thats 4 more weeks after that. anyways it gets its old time slot back so thats cool.
i just finished season 1 of The OC, which was fun to watch, all the way thru this time lol.
and u know since u guys do have Blockbuster u may wanna try to jion the online Blockbuster thing, cuz thats even cheaper than Netflix but they don't have as much to offer, thats why i only did it for the 2 week free trial then i quit. but maybe u can rent some of those tv shows thru that, up in Canada. speaking of Canada, Ash has all this Canadian money, that she wants to change over to American, so she's gonna send me one of ur 2 dollar coins, that should be pretty cool, i just thought it was cool to know that u guys have that hehe. when i was in Canada i never paid much attention to the money or ankything.
anyways Queer as Folk is kinda popular here on Showtime but i never have seen it, i know they have a Brit version and i guess the CA one too, with Hal Sparks. one had Charlie Hunnam on it.
anyways, tv shows in general are just too damn generic, and all the shows i wanted to see this last fall never got picked up. well besides Lost, but ones lik eThe Flash, Dark Shadows, Teen Wolf, all were pilots that weren't picked up, then the yr b4 that we almost had Fearless, that was even promoted nad everything, but not shown, yet my friend was able to dl the pilot ep online. well Dark Shadows looked relaly good though, and i figured that would the WB's next Angel, but of course, stupid idiots there didn't pick it up, instead went for Jack and Bobby, grrrrr.

Toonies eh? hmmm, thats new to me, she never mentioned anything called that exactly, but maybe since their hard to find she doesn't have any of those. i just know she mentioned she has a lot of Canadian change and stuff, cuz of going there so much, but she hasn't been back in a while. and i so i told her to put that 2 dollar coin away somewhere or whatever, so she won't accidently forgot and change it over to US money, but she can do that with the rest. but now u got me interesting in Toonies, ok maybge i can ask her about that. hehe, man the one cool thing sbout Maine is how close it is to Canada and stuff. a nd when i was over there i never cared to collect anything.
but since my bday is coming up, maybe she surprises me with dif kinds of CA coins hehe. she collects coins herself but mostly quarters, like the different state ones, she has a whole book thing of those, and i was getting her into Disney coins, but then stopped, cuz we broke up, long story, lol this eons ago, anyways don't think they even have those anymore, the Disney ones, so thats rare but she has the books i sent her and the Mickey coin thing. i had sent her a Chuck E. Cheese coin way back too which was cool, but then when she came she was able to see that place in person, and we spent all the coins we got there lol.
anyways, yeah WB sux too, they cancelled Angel, b ig sucking, and then passed on Dark Shadows and The Flash, and oh yeah, Fearless, despite having ads for Fearless, ugh.
