Can we stop with the medical/crime dramas?

I'm watching commercials for the new shows coming up and I just start thinking: HAVE WE NOT GOTTEN ENOUGH WITH COPS AND DOCS?

Every show is "OH MY GOD! He's dead!" "Oh my God! He's been murdered!"

I GET IT! Doctors have patients that can die...it's awful. I GET IT! Cops deal with murders and crimes...it's awful!

Jeez...where's the drama about a family that struggles to get by? Or the drama about an inner-city school?! HAS NO ONE SEEN LEAN ON ME, STAND AND DELIVER, DANGEROUS MINDS, ETC?!?!

I don't know. To me the state of TV is really sad. I loved TV when I was growing up. You had kick ass sitcoms, dramas like Dynasty, the Colbys, Dallas, Falcon's Crest, Thirtysomething, China Beach. REALITY TV didn't exist, thankfully. I am so sick and tired of the cliche scene where they're down to two competitors and ONE OF THEM IS GOING HOME! Send both of them home; I don't want to watch anymore.

I'm just afraid that one day ALL comedic TV will be gone from the air. Which is sad. Why are we so ready to forget about comedy? Why do we always have to kill someone and either investigate or try to save the incident? Can't we all just get together and bring back "MUST SEE TV" like back in the day?

TV networks need to lighten up....they need to make us laugh. By the way, don't forget to watch Mind of Mencia tomorrow, season finale!!!!

I tend to agree with you wholeheartedly! It's not that I hate shows like CSI, I am a fan, but how many such shows do you really need to watch to get the point? I grew up on all kinds of shows, thirtysomething, kate and alley, gimmie a break, tons of comedy with heart, but now most comedy on tv is overwritten and not funny(your show is certainly not among them). As a result we tend to get more of the other stuff. Ratings aren't good enough for the execs and they bail on trying anything new or that touches on something you might care about.


Characterization suffers so they can make another story about whatever's "hot". I miss the X-files, Millenium, Buffy and Twin Peaks. If they want to do serious stuff then do it right, have it be original you know? I want shows like Dexter, Weeds and Six Feet Under, groundbreaking ideas, to have a shot at network television as well! How may times do they can a decent sci-fi series? A Great comedy or drama show? Enough Reality tv already! It was dead in the water about 6 years ago! I miss not having my television make me feel scummy or stupid!
