Dinosaurs (Television Series)

There is something that I have been meaning to get off of my chest for a while now. It wasn’t that bad before I though I could live with it, but after struggling for hours trying to find something to watch on T.V. this week I can no longer take it. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO TELEVISION? Honestly there is nothing to watch, its either a line up of music videos or a show that includes the words “{Insert Here} at Love” or “I Love {Insert Name Here}” Shit I might as well create my own show “I Love Idris” I mean what has happened to quality of Television? I remember back in the day you could flip the channel there was always something to watch, and that’s when i didn’t have CABLE! Who needed cable? Network T.V. was the shit. But now I have over 900 channels and I still can’t find anything to watch, Instead I’ve been relegated to watching T.V. from the Golden Age, i.e. Cosby Show, Family Matters, Fresh Prince, Full House, Rosanne, Dinosaurs, Captain Planet, Martin, Voltron, and etc. What happen to these types of shows, even children’s shows have become a nuisance, with shows like Zoe 101 or That’s So Raven, I feel like the content in the show is inappropriate for that age, I don’t want to see my Ten year old sister watching that mess, it seems like society is forcing the youth nowadays to grow up faster.

All That (Television Series)

I mean what ever happen to Rocko’s Modern Life, All That, Are You Afraid of Dark? and Rugrats (Old School not that “All Grown Up” mess). THESE are examples of childhood T.V. not that crap on Disney Channel, Cartoon and Nickelodeon Nowadays, the shows on today basically reflect the same content in Adult T.V. today its just been toned down slightly, shit Zoey 101 is just as good as watching The Hills. I know I can’t be the only one with this problem, so for all of you who are suffering with me, here’s a little trip down memory lane:
