I watched a fair amount of TV during the break. I have to admit, I'm appalled at a lot of the new stuff.
It seems as if "grim, grimmer, grimmest" is now considered "cool."
It's not just ramming WokeTropes down my throat, it's also painting the world as a very grim place. The world, alternate worlds, historical worlds, etc.
You wonder why suicide is so high? Watch a new movie, with few exceptions, and there's part of the answer. Coen Brothers? Tim Burton?
Who hurt these people? And, more importantly, who continues to enable them... and why? Unbelievably dark, darker, darkest.
It certainly explains a lot of why Hallmark and now GAFamily continue to soar. It explains why old shows and game shows continue to flourish.
I'd watch "Hazel," which is a hard thing to watch, before I'd watch pretty much anything on ABC today.
Attorney Woo is fantastic.
Mrs. Maisel was good until (yawn) it went ultra-woke, which it has.
Home Town is the funniest show on TV in many ways. It's based in one of the blackest cities in America, yet with virtually no blacks on the show. So ultra-racist, without even mentioning it, it's hilarious.
British Bake Off continues to be great. When Paul Hollywood is considered "scary," you know you're in a family-friendly situation.
Dirty Jobs continues to be hilarious.
Rilakkuma is brief but about as feel-good as anything you'll ever watch. Hilarious to see Japanese culture, too.
The Grand Tour remains perhaps the best show on TV, but they make so few of them now. Clarkson's Farm, same thing. Great to watch, but not a lot of stuff there.
Candace Cameron Bure's first Christmas movie was, charitably, a train wreck. If she can get a writer with any skills she might be able to recover and start creating more "mystery" type movies. So far, however, just the opposite. GAFamily might have backed the wrong horse, hugely, there.
If you want to laugh once in a while, catch David Venable on QVC and watch as he shines sh*t. Once in a blue moon they'll have a good deal on a good item, but more often they are selling meat for $18/pound. I keep saying "he's gonna BURN, if he keeps this up. You can't steal from old ladies all day and not pay for it..." we laugh until we cry.
