God, woman, there are plenty of fine films out there. Isn't life a bit too short to waste on drivel? Mind, there is plenty of well-done drivel out there, tried and proven stuff. "The Devil Wears Prada," for instance. Heck, even has Meryl to add a bit of class.

Nor did she say she was looking for an award winning show. Seems she was looking for something enjoyable to watch on TV. Some crazy people are like that, me for instance.
TV shows have an advantage over movies, any movies, in that you have an ongoing involvement in the characters. Potentially for years. Movies allow a ~2 hour involvement and it's over (with exception of Jaws II, then III... for example :)).
I enjoyed the show to some degree. Hoping for improvement. Most of the movies you post about however are not of any interest to me. Boring drivel to borrow a word. To each their own.
So what did you think of the first episode anyway?
"Drivel" as defined by whom? - mkuller 13:48:22 09/27/11 (1)
...my wife and daughter realy enjoyed "The Devil Wears Prada" and said it gave them a lot of insight into the world of fashion and some of the famous personalities involved.

Do you go to your local multiplex looking for French art films?
- By anyone that doesn't find the usual Hollywood fare fascinating. I said Prada was "well-done drivel." IOW, - tinear 14:45:24 09/27/11 (0)
  a good popcorn film. It provided NO insight into the fashion industry, beyond the most superficial. My 10-yr. old liked it, but even she didn't think it was that good.
  Your French art comment is interesting. You seem to equate excellence with some sort of snobbism. Prada was fluff, mk. The fashion business was but a pretext to produce yet another plucky outsider character driven film.

Good idea, poorly executed, IMNSHO. Certainly wasn't targeted for the average AA inmate. As Grant says, teens will prolly love it.
