Things I would pay money to see on TV
1. A county extension agent
(sure there was what's his name on Green Acres. But it was Green Acres, for god sake. It was thirty years ago and, you know, Green Acres).
2. Non-bucolic farmers
As in farmers who act like farmers who've been to four years of college might act (also not desperate farmers sadly losing their entire life and livelihood to a heartless banker in three days).
3. Professional women who are older than twelve.
I watched two disks worth of Bones before I had to give up because it's made fairly clear in the pilot that the main female character is a PhD expert who is probably not yet 30. And I was willing to suspend my disbelief because I like a good forensic bone story as much as the next person until the episode where she said that she understood about working with dead children because she was at Waco. Waco was in 1993, dude! You were, what? 15? Yeah, I don't think so. Someday I will probably talk about the other things that bugged me about that show (surprisingly not the science because for some odd reason I just let that go--well, okay not really because I hate the part of science where the main characters know every single thing in their field and never look at a book, read a journal or consult with other experts. Yeah, that's believable.)
4. People older than 35 who have been on teh intranets.
I was watching NCIS(yeah, I have netflix and a crime show jones) and Mark Harmon's character was all massively multiplayer-whahhh? And then the Naval Captain was all--hey I know whtat that is cuz I have kids and you don't--hahaha. And then Ducky who would totally be interested in World of Warcraft if someone just showed him how these damn devil machines work ,said--oh you crazy kids and your wacky inventions. Luckily they have a young kicky Goth girl who knows not just forensics and is a genius--genius!--in the lab, but she is young (twelve year old professional) so she totally knows how to use computers and hack her way right up to the top of the MMORPG--cuz she is the youngster. And those young people they so get the typing and the interacting and shit.
