Why I don't like watching TV anymore.

Ok, this is a little bit of a strange subject since I write for a site that is all about TV programs. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against TV programs I love most of them like I would love movies and video games, it's just I have a problem just with the current nature of TV itself.

I'll admit a certain truth, I'm not really a TV watcher I watch at least up to one or two hours of TV a day as for a week it's about 8 to 9 hours in total. Yeah not much for a TV viewer but that's ok because I don't believe in watching TV so much.

I'm ranting because I'm jsut starting to dislike watching TV it's starting to become a so so experence these days. And it's because of mainly these reasons.

1. There are just too damn many comercials, they take up way too much time, time we could of used to seeing more of the orignal program were going to watch. I mean most of them are now starting to take about 4 or 5 mins of time, maximum is 6, I mean good gravy how can you stand that. And the orignal program is having very little time.

2. Reality TV shows, ther are just everywhere they are just way too easy to make sometimes, that makes me a little angry because It doesn't leave room for what we need more of mainly fictional shows, I don't want to see another one being made most of all I don't want to see it, those reality shows for me are either too real or just plain ridiculous.

3.Longevity of a show based of a certain genre shows like Lost and 24 are starting to feel just a little too long and old right now we just need to get some new blood in the fold of things, new ideas on some new shows of any genere.

These days I like to watch TV shows one either DVD or my computer, the best thing of all is ther are no commercial interruptions. Will I stopped watching TV, possibly but not likely any time soon, I'd rather be watching a episode of a TV show in my computer . Play a video game, DVD, or write a little more than spending time sitting on a couch just watching TV, it's just starting to seem like a waste of time.

So, if any of you have a comment on this blog and complaint about this issue please write if you can.There may be one more blog a lot latter so stay tuned.

Why I don't like going to the movie theater much anymore.

Ok, this is going to be a short rant on a rather common issue which is movie theaters. Don't get me wrong I love going to the theaters to watch the next movie like any other person. Thearters are always a form of excape, they for me at least get me out of the house and give me time away. And it was always a pleasure just to see that new film I've been waiting long and hard for but now I'm begining to feel it's starting to become an unworthwhile experence these days, which could put me off going completely.

There are at leasttwo things I hate about going to the theater. Number one:Ticket prices, there just seems to be a ridiculous inflation going on, buying a ticket for a matinee is almost starting to cost 9.50 and for a evening showing 12.00. I mean I could spend that much money on a DVD, Manga, or Video Game, in fact that what I would rather spend my money on. Even the prices on the snacks are crazy sometimes, one of the reasons I don't buy snacks much (second I'm just not that hungry).

Number two: Talkers: Oh god I can't stand them, sometimes someone either might talk on a cell phone when they should really just turn it off or worse there could be either a group of people or even kids around the corner just talking and talking where they could go on and on without stopping. I don't what age they are they should always take it outsie, here in the theater I go to listen to the movie not to what anyone else has to say, that's my policy.

I heard the movie theater might one day go extinct like the video arcade. It's possible but I don't think that's going to happen in a long time but due to our advanceing age it seem like it's a possiblity to consider.

I'll still go to the theater but not as much as I use to anymore, I love movies but I want to continue to enjoy them, and to do that I need some peace from those two factors that can destroy them.

So, that my two cents and my next blog will be why I don't like watching TV anymore so stay tuned and if any of you have any reasons yourself please coment.
