The other day I mentioned something about how TV show “24″ was in the middle of the season. I was wrong. It was at the climatic end, with now three episodes left. Oops! It is, though, getting interesting again.

The season came with a lot of disappointments, but not all of them were surprises. By this point if you follow the show, you know the good guys die. You know innocents die. No matter how perfect things work, something always happens to create imperfection. And trust? What’s that? All that noted, this season seemed to lack the punch that made previous seasons exciting.

Speaking of TV, “House” apparently is going to have the show you will never see coming. Again. How can they top Dr. Kutner killing himself? Can we say Dr. House attempting to kill himself? Shut up, it’s not a spoiler, it’s a speculation.

But let’s face it, if you watch the show, you see that he’s going through issues now. He no longer trusts his own judgment. He can’t explain Kutner’s suicide so now he doesn’t know if he can explain anything. It’s a good twist to a story that nobody seemed to see coming in the first place, and House has been reckless lately, so I think it’s where the show is going.

I remember when I could write pages upon pages of TV show reviews. I can’t now get out of the Monday night FOX lineup. I haven’t seen Letterman in ages, I turned on Conan to find that no-talent hack from SNL Jimmy Fallon has a job, and I couldn’t find any of my favorite shows or what channels they were on.

You know when my TV is on? When my son is here. He watches some cartoons in the morning, we get to playing, maybe we’ll relax and watch something together, and that’s it. I can tell you that “Spongebob Squarepants” is Nick’s “Cosby Show” (I am curious to how many people get this reference).

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying that today’s TV sucks. It does, but so does the crap I used to watch.

Some fatass in Hollywood is laughing because he, along with his cronies, are putting together boring, mundane, ridiculous tripe and we keep buying into it. Every time.

With our stupid ideals that this show is great because the people in the studio audience are laughing, we laugh at shows about as funny as telling a 10-year old that his daddy’s going to die.

It’s not.
