Must see?

Well, I've read and heard many people talk and write about, "must see" shows and TV, but ...
"That don't impress me much."+

First, in order to watch these "grand wonders", I'd have to either buy a DVR or get a messload of tapes. I liked Futurama, but I never knocked myself out to watch it. I liked a few programs on Adult Swim, but I didn't like them enough to tape them. I find sit-coms painful to watch. It's like watching my life, some stupid little thing I do, that I know how it starts, ends, and is in the middle. I don't like the end, so I avoid it. Much of the 3rd grade shows have paper doll characters with laughtracks, so the audience knows when to laugh. Even those shows without laugh tracks have greatly contrived++ situations that, my understanding of reality, are implausible and impossible.

I like non-fiction, and for that part I am boring -- dreadfully so. If I want fiction -- I want all out fiction -- Hulk or some other thing like that where there is ABSOLUTELY no pretense of reality or AlGorisms running like a news ticker. Save planet now ... Ted Turner is your deity ... donate money to scientology today ... don't forget to vote for whom we say ... dah dah dah

An exception to this might be COPS, but you've seen them all, whether it is every episode or that this is 6th cousin doing what 2nd cousin did in season 4.

++ example, mystery shows where an FBI agent happens to be in Cabot Cove and is questioned by Jessica and leads to other red herrings where the perpetrator is, "shocking" some visitor. It's helpful when Jessica can do the autopsy herself (or on CSI) in complete darkness in a poorly lit lab. Thankfully the lab has a computer that can decipher the Joker's riddles, find RNA from two bacterium on two vital samples, and link to and hack into INTERPOL systems to find identities of persons, including their DNA and the fact that they once had a pony and a sheepdog the hairs of which are on collected samples.
