I tried soooo hard to like Surface, but it was simply the cheeziest show with god-awful dialogue and acting.....great premise for a show, but NBC just isn't smart enough to produce it correctly is what I'm thinking: after all, you can't turn a show like that into Friends, as badly as they wanted to....But I missed Heroes, and want to catch it next time it airs....

tpigeon 3 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I avoid television shows outside a few comedies like Family Guy and South Park (not so much the latter anymore as it has become simplistic, agenda-driven, and almost as hypocritical as the very things it attacks). I can almost feel my life wasting away watching television, which why I don't like to watch it. At least there's some artistic component still alive in Film today - you just need to know where to find it - as opposed to most television, which is shamefully constructed to make you "stay tuned" for after the commercial break or next week's show. A show is contrived and goes on and on and on and on. There is no art, no variety, not effort, just a mind-numbing manner of wasting time. It's second tier visual media no matter how you look at it. Visual narratives are best left to the cinema. Leave the sitcoms, reality-shows, game shows, and hour long "dramas" to TV.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI 0 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I can almost feel my life wasting away watching television, which why I don't like to watch it.If you feel your life wasting away in any circumstance, it's because your life is wasting away, and you are trying to fight that thought. The passing of time of is defined by your perception of its value, if you place a value on your time, it isn't worth much anyway, in relative terms. A show is contrived and goes on and on and on and on. There is no art, no variety, not effort, just a mind-numbing manner of wasting time. It's second tier visual media no matter how you look at it. Visual narratives are best left to the cinemaYes, but TV series, especially the very popular ones like 24, Lost, reveal the zeitgeist of the public in a way that films can not. They are in this way more relevant and vital. They are contrived to go on because that is the format they are structured within, which mirrors the social structure of most people's lives , a gradual drama unfolding and resolving over several months.

Vaderbait1 1 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 But serial dramas and shows are great because they give you a reason to keep watching. I never understood people who hate series', there's so much more substance and material in something that has had time to develop, although certainly there are those shows that go on for too long.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 "Heroes" could break out into a hit. The last three or four minutes of the show had me hooked.I won't give things a way for those who haven't seen it, but this is going to be one trippy show. The end of the world, reality mixed in with "fiction," a superhero whose dad is fighting to stop them, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
