season four, please no more.

okay, take a moment to bask in the witty title, now i will make my point. Many TV shows have a premise that can't go past season three. Shows like the OC, where some povo from cino moves to a rich kids pool house and causes trouble while making the nerd popular-this premise runs dry after three seasons, and on the fourth season it was axed. and according to my patchy memory, which is getting worse every day, i recall dawsons creek getting shit on its fourth season.
(talking about memory, every month that goes past i get more and more impressed with the simple recall of my friends, they seem to remember the last time we had a meal and what we talked about three meals ago, and all i can can remember is a friend with octopus arms and getting a call from the president-which is far from the truth,)

but many tv shows have a premise which can go indefinately like ER or whatever, and i thought i could House MD in this category- a show about about a brilliant doctor and his team of different personalities dealing with patients that had diseases that you wanted house to cure, and you felt for the people dying and the people treating them, but no , season four of house has all the magic of house and his subtle relations with his team dissapear, to be replaced with stupid heads that noone cares about, and now house is purely an asshole, where he used to be an asshole that you could care about because you wanted the patient to survive, and because of his relationship with his team, but all the magic is gone, and they have fucked with the premise, so it is now a hollow sheel that once resembled the show House MD, it has become a parody of itself. At least i have the first three seasons on dvd, and watching the fourth just makes me reminis over the first three. I think those first three seasons are the best thing humanity has ever done, they had all the philosophy of 3thousand years of society plus the science plus the subtle ways people care for each other and the magic of being a healer and wathcing peoples convalescence. But now it is just shitty contrived drama, about people i dont care about.

-also i would like to mention to Jroc that i never delete comments, it must have been a tech issue because all your comments from the previous post are there???

the only responce i can come up with to this one is that the only television show in receny memory that i've been into, the infinitely excellent Buffy the Vampire slayer (yes, it does have seth green in it...), didn't actually get really good until the third season... character development, et c., plus partially nude seth-ness... aw yeah baby.
peace love unity
