It’s just like last season. There’s not a damn thing that I’d bother watching.

Somewhere else on the boards, someone mentioned the seventies show _Starsky and Hutch_, saying that the show would never make it today because it had long scenes where people just talked and smoked cigarettes.

I remember thinking, “Yeah, scenes like that were called plot and character development.”

Now what do we have? Pretty people running around shooting cartoon dinosaurs. Ooooh, that’s exciting.

And I’m saying this not even _liking Starsky and Hutch_.
