Here’s a good rule to follow when you don’t like what’s happening on your beloved TV show:
When you like a show, you’re effectively on a bus with everyone else who likes it, and you’ve got to let the driver do the driving. You can comment on the view, you can point out the pothole he’s about to hit, you can ask him to turn up the air conditioning, and if you want, you can always get off at the next stop and hope you can get a better ride. But if you get up there with everybody else on the bus and start trying to grab the wheel, you will find yourself tumbling down the side of a ravine, and at the bottom of that ravine, there will be nothing to watch except Deal Or No Deal.
I would buy the argument if the writing for most television wasn’t so terrible. I’m so glad I got rid of my cable.
