It is a constant reminder as to how bad the writing is on today’s state of the art TV soaps, sitcoms and movies. When they are not making remakes, they are making sequels to remakes

The writing is usually bad for the same reason Red Lobster or Olive Garden is bad — they have to appeal to the greatest number of people to get eyeballs on the screen. And, there’s too much money involved to take a risk on the unproven.

"The writing is usually bad for the same reason Red Lobster or Olive Garden is bad — they have to appeal to the greatest number of people to get eyeballs on the screen. And, there’s too much money involved to take a risk on the unproven." Before I say anything, I appreciate your responses. So if there are no risk takers in a business based on risk as well as art, I will continue to have low expectations of today's excuse for entertainment.

To be honest, the only movie I wanted to see was Elizabeth: the Golden Age but I let the critics' mix review talk me out of it. Shame on me to expect something else of interest to come along when I know better. The current offering of movies are so bad, I was considering trying a Red Lobster or Olive Garden in the area instead of going to the movies and then come home to a rental ( but what to rent?).

I will continue to watch TCM and my own collection of Movies.
