So Much Random, So Little Time

I think I’m done with The Following.  I love Ryan and Joe but find the trio of followers to be petulant and annoying.  Every week I roll my eyes at their whining and shenanigans.  Maybe I’ll give it another chance this summer when I can marathon all the episodes at once.

I have five Elementary episodes to catch up on.  What the hell have I been doing?

Does anyone remember the show Justice?  I love it and wished they would put it on DVD, Netflix, or something.

A show can be on two episodes and people have ships and OTPs? Wow, I like watching shows just for shows. The other stuff comes later, if at all.

Goodbye token black character. I hardly knew you…since you only made it through three episodes.

The thing I loved so much about A Different World growing up is it was the only show that ever showcased, IMO, that black people come from all socioeconomic backgrounds, have vast and different interests, are educated, want the things for their children that all people want. It was the last show that touched on issues in our community while also showing that its an American conversation and not just a black one. It was in the Top 10 shows and the percentage of African-Americans in this country was pretty much at the same percentage as it is now. So it clearly showed that America wanted, and needed a show like that, and not just Black America. I miss that show sometimes and know there will never be another like it.

I’m watching Scandal, season 1 and I blame Tumblr. Damn you Shonda Rhimes, you always take me kicking and screaming but you take me. Also, falling in love with Cyrus….please tell me its not a bad idea, OK?

I dont particularly want to see House of Cards, I just want to see Jayne Atkinson.

OK, episode 2 of The Following….what the hell is Annie Parisse doing? I never trusted her on anything since she played that crazy bitch on As the World Turns when I was in high school.

I just watched The Following pilot and I think I’m in love. Kevin Bacon as the flawed hero…sign me up. As long as the FBI agents come out of their boxed-in cliches soon (wannabe hardass white girl, token black badass, and sweet white “stan” ass kisser) I could really get into this. Oh and Kevin Williamson, yes please. For the pilot, and this is rare…4 stars.
