A new study links TV and depression. These shows don't help.

Seriously, I love the show but dear GOD was that rough. In our house we had a ripcord policy (we'd shut it off if it got to be too much), until Andy just left the room during the "Hey, that's my dog!" episode and NEVER CAME BACK.

I'm worried that TMZ is a sign of the apocalypse.

But I think your sobering point about the Hills cast being our future makes me clinically depressed.

The same thing happened to me with Lost in it's first season.

When it did I just though meh I'll download the episodes later, I dont see this getting so far...  I can't believe it's now on it's fifth season V.V Now I regret not watching it XD, it's a lot to catch up with.

both those networks in general leave me depressed. 100% of MTV is nothing but rich kids who....do nothing and get paid lots for.....doing nothing.

VH1 is 85% of people nobody has heard of trying to find love and later dumping said 'love' for a 2nd season of their show. (why? oh, right. gotta make more money)

i got nothing against rich people, and it's nice in theory to think about doing jack and getting paid $$$ for it, but it upsets me how easy it is when others probably deserve millions more than these ALREADY rich kids from Laguna beach or whatever....

*shuts up*

The whole "twist" of "Boy Meets Boy" certainly bummed me out, especially since Franklin looked exactly like my ex-boyfriend. I think I was as upset as James (and he was pretty damn upset!).

Seriously, no mention? 99.9% of the human race is exterminated in the pilot, and ever since, we've watched as every single likeable character sells their souls in the name of survival. Is there anyone who hasn't tortured prisoners, started a coup, stolen an election, murdered someone in cold blood, or outlawed abortion?

I had to stop watching during season 3, when THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE was put into death camps. I only came back when I realized that the entire cast had become so depraved and unredeemable that they all deserved whatever they got, and I came back to bask in the schadenfreude. It doesn't matter who wins the civil war, because either way, the losers deserve to die!

All those shows with guys who do little else other than run around shirtless (Del on Private Practice, Kirby on Lipstick Jungle, every Soap Opera past and present) they remind me my gym membership should be more than a licence to cruise.

 Notice it doesn't keep me from watching.

That's all I am saying...

If heaven means having to take orders for eternity from Della Reese, then I'm heading south.

"The mountain has wings."

I'd like to nominate Oz. Love the show but there really never was any sort of happy ending in the cards for any of them, was there? I still haven't watched the sixth season - despite owning it on DVD - for fear it'll push me over the edge.

A&E's Intervention is a show that interviewed addicts of various things and attempted to intervene in their lives via family and friends to put them on the right track to recovery. I wanted to slit my wrists after every show...

It depresses me when gay characters are played by straights sometimes even though they are good actors.

It depresses me that when a gay character is added to a show 2/3 of the time they will be a sculpted pretty boy in perfect clothes and hair. Where are the ordinary guy stories? Most of the time those stories are of nelly guys with loud fashion sense and quirky glasses. Why can't we have gay men with a little paunch and no skin lotion in sight?

Apparently the only way to cast a gay man on television is to make his character spend every scene screaming "Girls! Girls! Girls!"  I don't mind gay people being cast as heterosexual -- much -- but what's with absurdly over-exaggerated hetero-horniness?  I've never seen an episode of "How I Met Your Mother" all the way through because Barney is just too depressing.
