Already I have posted something relating to this, but now I feel that this needs to be a completely separate topic.

Why? I just recently heard from the TV that there was a new 'Gormiti' TV series or something. I never thought Gormiti was that good anyway; if anything it looked pretty bad. But the advertisement for a new 'Gormiti' show cracked my nut.

This, I feel, is the problem with TV shows nowadays, particularly kiddie's shows. They all lack innovativity and orginality, which is why they're all pretty crap. New kid's shows are just graphic takes on big childhood toy hits. By childhood toy hits I mean national/international school crazes like Crazy Bones.

I don't have a solution at the moment, nor may I have one in the near future, but I'm getting pretty pissed with this whole business. New stuff should be broadcast on TV, otherwise we'd get bored of the old. But we need some creativity, here.

Saw the pilot episode of Archer a few weeks back. It is entirely aimed at my age group (college kid) and hilarious. Unfortunately the series doesn't actually start up until January.

I rarely pay attention to T.V. anymore. This quote mostly explains why, and I also predict this thread will begin cropping up memories to old shows and will slide to a tangent of the reminiscence of when T.V. was actually fun.

OutrightOJ, this is the second time I've had to move your thread to the correct forum. Don't put your threads in the wrong forum. Read the forums carefully and decide where to put your thread. The Politics & Debate forum is for discussions of a political or controversial nature, not for threads about entertainment.

Don't let this happen anymore.

I've seen. However, the reason I originally posted this topic in debate, was because I believed it was something more of debate than to do with entertainment itself.

Also, I don't recall the debate forum being just for controversial and political disputes only. I haven't seen a specific note or topic preventing the discussions of entertainment within. 'Debate serious and interesting topics, rant about politics or pop culture, or converse in essay form about your opinions.'

Your point taken, but I do think my point is valid also.
