Dear Parenthood

Maybe I shouldn't have watched you right after LOST since it is also a heavy show. That may be part of this issue. Holy downer Ron and Brian. I know it's based on the movie, which had many trials and tribulations, but this is television. This show is not going to wrap up into a happy little bow at the end of 2 hours, but instead, it will go on and on and on for months depressing the crap out of people. I also recognized exact lines taken right from the movie...which I didn't care for either. You have had at least a decade since the movie came out, to come up with original scenes for a show BASED on the movie...not a show that IS the movie, but just based on. Depressing movie with a heart warming ending...the show however, just depressing so far. I'm sure you're working up to the heart warming ending, but people may just slit their wrists before you get to the end of the season...just sayin'.

Dear LOST part deux

Please don't fuck this up. I know you've been getting a lot of that lately, but I think it's for a reason. This season is not off to a good start. Again, flash sideways...I could care less about the characters in the flash sideways. Yes, they are the same actors, but they are not the characters I invested in 5 1/2 seasons ago. I just don't give a shit, that Jack has the same relationship with his all of a sudden son, that he had with his father. I don't care that Kate helped Claire, and that Ethan was the doctor. I do care about Ben being a teacher, but that is just because I love Michael Emerson. This season is barreling towards a finale, give us something...please. Yeah, I know, you've been answering questions.....FROM SEASON ONE THOUGH. There are a lot more season worth of questions to get to, and I don't see a time-line in which that can be achieved at the moment. Please don't make me regret wasting all this time on you. I really don't want to view you as an ex-boyfriend, but rather a dearly deceased relative.
