Good God! A TV Show…

Now and then some TV boss decides to try to make another fantasy show. The majority of such creations are either completely unremarkable in every aspect or go all the way into Cheesyland. Due to that or despite it the aforementioned TV boss greenlights the adaptation of a popular book series. Well, we all know what a rarity good adaptations are. I for one can only recall the LotR and Harry Potter franchise. Narnia wasn’t all that, and Golden Compass — plain awful.

There are three recent TV shows that appeared on my radar as I’ve read the book series they were adapted from.

Hank:

OMG, what is that bump on my precious cock?

Karen:

OMG, it’s cancer!

Dr.:

Don’t worry, it might be STD, syphilis for example, or cancer, or whatever.

Hank:

NO, it can’t be STD, it’s not like I f*ck everything that moves and hate condoms. Well, I had vasectomy so now I have a reason to not use condoms. And I f*cked that sweet maid at my client’s ex-girlfriend mansion. No way that girl could have STD. And I f*cked that crazy cook from TV. NO WAY that stark raving mad b*tch could have had STD.

Karen:

Oh God, then it’s cancer!

Dr.(by phone):

It’s syphilis!

Hank:

YAY! It’s syphilis!

Karen:

Thank God, it’s syphilis!

Californication writers:

Cool, now we don’t need to use internet for our diagnosis! It’s brain syphilis! This is so great! We don’t even need House for differential!! We will just take some antibiotics!!!

People, I’m so shocked right now I’m going to ask you in that wonderful Russian accent of mine:

Vot ze f*ck voz Serena vearing?

I noticed the trend, you know: they are dressing S. in more and more slutty outfits, I believe it is supposed to show her tits development as a person. Slightly slutty sexy S., I got it. But was it really intended to become ‘ouch, it fell into reaally hot water and shrank to fit a ten-year-old, lets throw in some cheap looking peasant blouse and heavy beads necklace‘ sexy?!?

House writers, are you sh*tting me? In a show about irksome genius you give me an agoraphobic men who never leaves his house and writes manuals. Not only that, he also had a girlfriend or wife who coped with his quirks and was murdered. Where have I seen it? Oh, right, it’s Monk. Obsessive, compulsive, highly irritating genius detective. Two Monks, actually, Ambrose (locked in his house and writing manuals) and Adrian (whose wife was killed) merged into one patient. This is just lame. And the show is still on air, BTW.

And yet I loved the final sequence when the patient overcame his fears and walked out of the building and House couldn’t.
