Dumb TV

Well, that's the best name I could come up with - though it might not be too close to my point.
I love shows like The Shield, The Wire, Supernatural, Prison Break, The Sopranos, Rescue Me, etc. Now this is the point of reference, cavepeople.

So FX puts on a show called Sons of Anarchy. So I watch, and watch, and watch. And no matter what, I can't get into this show. So I ask myself why. A bit of introspection is often good for the soul. And I can't quite put my finger on it.
Until last night. When I finally figured it out.

I CANNOT REMEMBER ANY OF THE CHARACTERS FREAKIN" NAMES!

And this is my conundrum.

Paulie Walnuts, Michael Scofield, Tommy Gavin, Vic Mackey. I can remember 'em all. Let's see...
Tony Soprano, Dean Winchester, Omar Little, Fox Mulder, Freddy Corr, Lenny Briscoe, Frank Pembleton... need I go on?
But...

I CANNOT REMEMBER ANY OF THE CHARACTERS FREAKIN" NAMES ON THOSE MOTORCYCLES WITH THE STUPID WINDSHIELDS! AND NONE OF THESE GUYS CAN SHOOT WORTH A DAMN!

So now you know why the show will die a slow death.
