Hollywood makes stuff suck.

Back in early 2006, I heard about a brand new TV series called “Prison Break”. Long story short, I started watching it, and was hooked after the first episode. The first season of Prison Break was really ground breaking, and I enjoyed it immensely.

However, three years later, and Prison Break is currently in it’s fourth season. Which is three seasons too many. See, I think Fox have gone and made seasons two, three, and four simply because they know that by doing so, they can make a profit. Season one of Prison Break was superb, the rest…not so much. It’s not just Prison Break, either. I greatly enjoyed the first season of Heroes, but I’ve since given up watching it. It just became boring and rubbish. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is an even bigger mistake – sure, it’s an enjoyable show, but if you ask me, it shouldn’t have been made in the first place. Terminator should have been kept to the four movies, and that’s it. If they make a third season, I’ll probably just skip it. I was bored for much of the second season, and chances are, the third, if made, will suck even more.

My point is, TV shows, and in many cases movies too, simply go on too long and become boring or stupid. And yet the movie and television studios keep on making them because they know they can make money off them. And I just wish they wouldn’t, or if they did, I wish they would actually make them not suck. Case in point: 24. Despite now being on it’s seventh season, it’s still awesome.

Oh, and in case you’ve not yet seen Prison Break, but want to, watch the first season and then stop. DON’T watch the other seasons. But do watch the first. ;)

    Whaaaaaaat!

    Prison Break Season 1 was good – Yes I will give you that, Season 2 was also quite good! Mahone catching bad guys was really fun to watch.. Now season 3 was not near as good as the first 2 but it was still entertaining.. the puzzles and the problems they go through and overcome – kept me tuned in.

    Season 4 is great! it has its ups and downs but at least we are going to get an ending (unlike the shit on ABC) Season 4 is shaping up to be have an epic ending and from todays season return.. I simply can’t wait to see it unfold.

    Hollywood does make stuff suck.. yes they do… but sometimes with the right staff/ cast making a show go for a while is good!

    EG: Fringe – Now don’t you dare tell me that you don’t want to see more seasons of fringe in the future?

    Honestly, I do agree with you, season 2 and 4 are, so far, somewhat decent, but I still don’t think they match how awesome season 1 was.

    As for Fringe, yes, I’d love to see much more of it, but when it’s due to end, it should end.

    Another show which I forgot to mention is Supernatural – it’s almost coming up to the end of the forth season, and it’s had a great run, but I think it needs to end soon.

    You’re mad if you think Heroes has become crap. It’s currently the best it’s been since Season 1. It’s been a FANTASTIC season. Really gripping.

    Well, I haven’t watched since around E10 I think, so it might have un-crapified itself since then. I gave up on it overall though because I just lost interest.

    It gets the best after E10, seriously. Carry on with it. It’s brilliant.

    Hm. Maybe. I’ll think about it once I get through all the other TV shows I’m still going through, first off. :P
