Non-Geek TV From The Geek Perspective: Six Feet Under

There’s a lot of TV out there, and my wife binge-watches stuff, many times that she’s seen before, but if she likes it, who cares?

This week, I’m covering Six Feet Under.

Non-Geek TV From The Geek Perspective: Dexter

There’s a lot of TV out there, and some of it declines really quickly in terms of quality.  After a promising first season, there’s some good stuff, and then BOOM, it’s just bad.

Yup.  I mean Dexter.

When A TV Series Declines…

By the time this show ended, this image probably wasn’t too far off.

My wife just finished working her way through the full series run of Friends on Netflix.  We were talking and she brought up how her mother got tired of Friends after a while.  My mother-in-law apparently thought Joey got too stupid, Monica too annoying, and the Ross-and-Rachel thing got rather tired.  I wasn’t the fan of the show that my wife or her mother were, so I couldn’t disagree with that consensus, where I mostly wondered why any of them would willingly hang out with hangdog mopester Ross.

That’s not an unusual phenomena.  Many TV shows that run long enough can become a shadow of their former glory.  Anyone who’s been watching The Simpsons long enough already knows that, though.
