\"Hungry<\/a>
Hungry for Better Shows<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Is TV getting too predictable or am I too intelligent for the typical TV show plot? In the past three days, I have watched three TV shows and within the first five minutes – boom, I predicted the outcome of each one. Law and Order<\/em>; I had the real perpetrator nailed the second they introduced him as the “good guy”. The Walking Dead<\/em>; they are keeping zombies in the barn and not killing them, why?<\/h4>\n

Then I sat down to watch Christina Applegate’s new show Up All Night<\/em> and I figured out the resolution to this episode\u2019s dilemma within seconds. You could have timed me with a stopwatch.<\/h4>\n

I like watching TV for relaxation and it is a distraction from the other things going on in my busy life. But if I already know what’s going to happen and they never surprise me with a plot twist or something a little less predictable, then what’s the point of watching it the first place? That’s why I enjoy shows like Lost<\/em>. It would keep me constantly guessing. But even Lost<\/em> got too bizarre after a while, right? They were so desperate to be unpredictable that they went from intriguing to nonsensical. So now I\u2019m thinking, maybe this should be my next gig – writing a script for a TV show. What do you guys think? Would you tune in to my prime time slot?<\/h4>\n
