Is it just me, or have allthe dynamic discussion boards out there just vanished?

It seems whenever someone wants to talk about a show on more than a superficial level, you're lucky to see one or two responses. But mention something about an actor's new haircut, or what a cute couple two stars would make, and bam, 3 pages of replies.

There are so many shows out there which generate so much thought: the CSIs and forensic topics, Criminal Minds and what exactly is happening in all of our minds, and even shows like House and how the human body deals with so many ailments.

I believe these shows offer such a wonder gift to viewers, not only to learn something about scientific topics, but to learn more about ourselves. Why do people insist on throwing it away because lolz omg he is soooo cute? It's freakin TV! Everyone looks good, even the so-called 'ugly' people look damn good. Get over it already!

**sigh**, I left these forums about a year ago at this time (for about 6-8 months) when it got to me too much, and I feel it may be time to do the same thing again. I just wish people would appreciate these shows the way I do, not just as eye-candy and storylines, but as wonder fodder for the brain. :(
