Out there...

After three months I have come to the end of what I would call one of the best t.v. shows ever made. It all started in January...back in those days when I was depressed and living in a small hole...yeah, you remember. ANYWAY, I was bored and found my way to youtube where I decided to watch the first episode of "Full House." It became an obsession and my fave t.v. show. Let me tell you this, I was very EMbarrassed when my friends caught me in the act. I guess it is safe to say that this 80's and 90's series is cheesy and tacky and very predictable BUT I will say that it is funny and lovable and yes...TENDER! I think that the biggest reason I love "Full House" is the focus on the family. Obviously the focus is the family, seeing as the plot is centered around a family living in the same house. After watching the series, I have come to realize that other t.v. shows out there DO NOT focus on the family. I will give examples. #1 "Modern Family" To start, it is a TERRIBLE show. The family is broken and messed up. The combination of divorce, re-marriage, gay-marriage and more. Why would anyone want a family like that? And who would think of it as a laughing matter? Show #2 "House" In all honestly, I am a recovering fan of the Fox drama "House." Sadly, in a way, I was reading a summary for the next episode that will be posted online for web-viewers like myself. I was stunned when I found that the episode was about a couple with an "open-marriage." I cannot think of a worse topic than adultery. As you can tell my disappoint led me to drop "House" as a weekly show for me and turn back to my "Full House." People have told me that I am just too naive and sheltered or that I am too sensitive. My answer is this: I don't like it. These topics are not happy and uplifting. After I watch a t.v. show, I want to feel happy not sick to my stomach. "Full House" may be cheesy and outdated, BUT it is about true love between a man and woman. It is about getting through the tough times of marriage. It is about siblings growing closer and loving each other. It is about teaching your children the right thing to do. "Full House" is about the good things in the world that are slowly but surely disappearing. Where have the standards gone?? I can no longer take the crude talk and immoral behavioral and just WRONG ideals. Many times, even among my own friends, I feel as though I stand alone. Does anybody care about standards?
