Is it just me or anyone see a pattern?
 

Could be just me having too much time on his hands but it's kinda getting annoying. Ever since the show called Lost came out and became popular, the crappy network keeps getting another show out with some interesting premise and a gimmick being a title with just one word, Heroes, House and Dexter.

Not that I'm saying those aforementioned shows are bad but there are slew of copycat shows with the same gimmicks being previewed to be aired next week.

It gets on my nerves which is why beside the news, I don't ever watch TV.

Sorry, I just wanted to get this off from my mind.

When a template becomes successful it will then be milked to death until the next big thing comes along. I really do hope they know where they are going with Lost. The actual premise is excellent but I think they are dragging it out and hope that they can tie all the loose ends together.

I have heard good things about 'Dexter' but like yourself, I am not a huge watcher of T.V series.

Reality TV is the worst. Theres reality shows based offf other reality shows now.

There's a lot of great one namers out there.

And, they've been around for AGES...

I do agree, however, that TV nowadays is terrible.
There are very few well written shows out there.

Can Curb please come back? It's due next year, yes?

Season 7 of Curb begins filming in December. Larry David is filming a Woody Allen movie right now. So I am guessing season 7 will start to air in May of 2009.

May eh?
I heard that he's still writing...?

I can't wait for that day to come though. I will rejoice.

This is why we should all be watching "Pushing Daisies"

Totally true. You'll always see this in television and movies.

I love LOST, I hope it finishes well. As for the 'copycat' series, I haven't really watched them. So I guess that goes to show that while they're copycat-ing, they aren't as successful or popular as the 'original' ideas.

I like LOST, but it gets pretty ridiculous at times (see the fourth season finale)

Also Benjamin Linus is one of the greatest characters in television history.

I used to like Heroes too, but it really started to suck around season 2.

Lost lost the plot a long time ago (no pun intended). Heroes is becoming a festering pile of shit. Prison Break is the only consistently good show of the three IMO.

I usually watch comedy anyway.
