Paris sucks

The eloquence and lively repartee of your characters is not quite "Buffy"-esque and yet so much more alluring and thought-provoking.
I am aware that "Firefly" had a painfully short run, and that I am but a greenhorn (not yet a Browncoat), but I'm getting there (just finished Episode 9).
The fusion of wild west and sophistocated east is so anti-colonialism--I love it. Shows 2 cultures can co-exist. The rough-and-tumble locales are exciting, Mos Eisley-like, and yet comforting.
It is painfully puzzling to me how a show of this caliber could be yanked unceremoniously from the good American airwaves--is "The Simple Life" our standard for entertainment these days? Is "reality" more compelling than imaginative storylines. I ache for an answer.

I wouldn't call two overprivileged girls being placed in situations where they can mock the average joe reality but it does seem to attract an awful lot of viewers.
Most of the so called reality shows are more or less game shows where people publicly humilate themselves in order to win a prize. Apparently a lot of folks feel better about their own lives by watching others look stupid on national TV.

Welcome, Quirky1.
We feel your pain. In the world I want to live in, Firefly becomes an instant smash hit and runs for seven or eight years before starting a series of equally monumental movies.
Why isn't that this world?

Since you mention Paris, edit: :endedit
There is a Charity Serenity Screening being planned for June 23, 2007 for PARIS, FRANCE. Last year, organizers held events in 47 cities around the world, raising over $65,000 for charity.

Um. He mentioned Paris because he referenced a show that Paris Hilton is in. Read the content, silly!

Thank you.
So I guess "The Simple Life" is a show with "Paris Hilton" in it. Somehow I don't feel silly for not knowing about that information.

Awww, I wake up Sunday morning feelin' fine and then someone has to mention that woman. I feel all nauseous now.
My constant hope is that there will be a backlash against all these reality shows and the TV companies/networks will realise that it is quality programing and not mindless trash that actually appeals to most people. Unfortunately, I'll probably be sitting here wishing that till I'm 90.
