they might as well bring back 7th Heaven.

Omg that was THE worst show, ever!

It bugs me how they always pimp out Chuck, Blair, Nate and Serena and NEVER the Humphreys but that's all we ever get. So in fact they do know we don't care, but they just keep giving it to us. What?

At least 7th Heaven didn't give us false marketing.

yeah they were up front about the cheese

**Rebel_Diamond** · 11-06-2008, 02:25 AM

Exactly!

I know, exactly. Maybe the Humphreys should get their own show, because I don't spend my time uploading something which I know I won't watch half of anyways. I don't mind Dan being in the picture because it makes sense. They drag out the Rufus, Jenny and Vanessa storylines out way too much imo.

I want CBNS!

bigkisses13 · 11-06-2008, 02:32 AM

^i think everybody does. the question is when will the producers start to listen

**Rebel_Diamond** · 11-06-2008, 02:38 AM

Good question. I'm just kind of tired of waiting, it gets old. They better be giving us something good.

bigkisses13 · 11-06-2008, 02:40 AM

its seems like every show takes a turn for the worst in season 2 then it starts to listen to the fans and it picks back up in season 3.

if it doesnt start focusing less on the humphreys then i'm probably gonna stop watching...i say that but i'm pretty sure i'm lying

**Rebel_Diamond** · 11-06-2008, 02:43 AM

I'll just be annoyed and dislike the show even more. They Humphreys can do whatever they want, as long as I get CBNS and for them to have more airtime.

I really like Grey's Anatomy, 30 Rock and Friday Night Lights not because of the ships, but actually because of the show. I watch GG just for the ships, which is kind of sad since it isn't suppose to be the case.

I'm not. When the show gets crappy, this rabbit will go a-packin'. I've done that loads of times before. And GG is nothing special.

The OC picked it up by Season 3... So did OTH and Dawson's Creek. I only hope GG will follow suit because S3 is usually do or die.

bigkisses13 · 11-06-2008, 02:45 AM

usually the reason that i really get into something is because of a ship. if theres not a ship that i totally love then i'm probably not going to love the show. i become obsessed with ships which makes me obsessed with the show but you're right it should be the other way around

oh i thought the S1 of the OC was the best season ever! season 2 and 3 were both really good but season 1 will always be epic to me

Exactly. If people want to watch a parent preaching to their kids, I'm sure there are shows for that. But GG is not, and shouldn't be like that. I know that sounds terrible but there are reasons why this show attracts certain group of audiences. We want someting that is scandalous, loud, flashy and sassy. I'm not saying that the show should turn porno and immoral but my God, I'm not watching the Brady Bunch either!

If they want to give The Humphreys a decent screentime, then by all means, do that. But I don't want to tune in with them hogging the attention while the UEsiders have to shared whatever amount of screentime left for them-the real lead of the show. It's a waste of time and a waste of my computer's disk space.

**Rebel_Diamond** · 11-06-2008, 02:48 AM

Yeah, I leave shows that I'm not attached too. I was attached to the OC but after watching a couple episodes of season 4 I decided it wasn't worth my while.

Kat, normally a ship gets me more involved in a show... but there just has to be something more to the show. I feel like we barely get into the heart of the UES, which is what I want to see. I want to see Chuck, Blair, Nate and Serena's problems, because their problems are a lot different then regular people (like the Humphreys deal with) and it provokes my interest a lot more.

bigkisses13 · 11-06-2008, 02:51 AM

yeah i get that. i usually start watching because it looks good then i pick a ship which keeps me hangning around. and as long as the producers dont skrew up the show i'll be happy even if my ship isnt getting the justice it deserves.

i too stopped watching the OC with season 4. how could they continue without Marissa...especially how Ryan just moved on. ridiculously unbelievable

but anyway yes it does seem that the UES are only there when they are interacting with one of the humphreys/vanessa which just isnt how it should be

Exactly! GG is always false advertising saying this show is 'edgy' and 'scandalous' and actually about rich people. So we start watching GG and we expect that stuff but it's NOTHING like it. I'm not watching GG for the morals, sure it's great that there are some but they're making this all about morals.

I want:
-Less cheese.
-More CBNS and individual character development. I feel like they haven't really all developed that much.

That's ALL.
