Writer's Block: Vampires, again?

Quite a few actually.
America's Next Top Model, American Idol, and other shows of that ilk. I can kind of see the appeal but they're just not something I'd ever make time out of my week for.
House. It's a show I'll watch when it's on. The whole cast is great, Hugh Laurie is awesome and he deserves every bit of success he's gotten. But a lot of people won't miss an episode whereas I could take it or leave it when it's on.
Grey's Anatomy. This one I really tried to get into when it first came on. I couldn't. It's boring and melodramatic to the point of being silly. Which is probably why Children's Hospital, the parody of it that's currently airing on Cartoon Network is so awesome.
Doctor Who. Now before I catch hell for this, I want to emphatically state that I LIKE Doctor Who. But I haven't gotten to see much of the new version of it. I've liked what I've seen so far, but I grew up with Dr. Who. I watched it for years and years and the new series is completely true to the old. And that's just it: you know exactly what you're getting. Dr. Who is the same as he ever was and still just as entertaining, but the obssessive phase that so many people are going through with it now I already went through twenty-five years ago. Maybe if I finally make a serious effort to start watching it that spirit will be rekindled but it's just not there yet.
Heroes. The first season of this show was awesome, even if plot holes and contradictions were flying fast and hard even then. But episode 1 of season 2 jumped the shark and kept going straight into orbit somewhere beyond Pluto. Claire's family on the run... but dad working quite openly at a Kinko's? A convenient mutant-killing plague we've never heard of before? Mohinder talking to adorable undead children from beyond the grave? And Kensai was A WHITE GUY ALL ALONG!? And apparently he went on to be the Big Bad or some shit like that. I don't know and I don't care. It was too stupid to continue with. I channel surfed into an episode in the most recent (and final season) where Sylar and Parkman were re-enacting a scene from A Cask of Amontillado and Claire was living with carnival freaks. It was just embarrassing.
