MTV's dud.

(NOTE:  I realize essentially all I've posted about so far are shows on MTV...this will change I promise you. I think it's mainly because MTV airs shows that apply to my generation and one of the main channels I watch now-a-days is MTV).

Anyways, My Life As Liz. This show came on after The Buried Life tonight (which I must say was a rather intriguing show that I'm sure I'll talk about at a later date, very inspirational). I had nothing better to do and had no desire to get off the comfortable couch and think about school, so I sat and watched it with a few friends. I have to say, this show killed my brain cells and stole a half hour of my life. I have no idea what MTV was thinking. First of all, is the show supposed to be reality or is it fake? This was what I liked to call "scripted reality," definitely not unscripted. If it was real, the characters have no idea how to speak and if it was fake, the acting was terrible and needs an SOS call...not that MTV has ever had a show with class A acting anyway, but that's not the point. Liz is a character that I don't think many people (or anyone) will connect with or even like. Anyone who would doesn't watch MTV. She's bizarre, annoying, dramatic, and a huge complainer. She thinks no one understands her (sounds like every teen), so she tries to set herself apart, but this just makes her seem more bizarre. Besides this, she's inconsiderate when she leaves one of her friends behind, stranded. She honestly doesn't seem to care about anyone but herself, and doesn't seem to realize that not everyone shares her views and isn't as open as she is. It's fine to be yourself, but people like her (if that is her being herself) just need to tame their personality when in public. It really isn't that hard. I understood her point of how everyone she used to be friends with is so fake, but she portrays all these girls as horrible people, too obsessed with their hair, makeup, and the color pink to be smart or care about worldly issues and what's really important in life. This is such a ridiculous stereotype. I know we all succumb to stereotypes at some point, but this show is just blatantly pointing fingers and it's wrong.I didn't find a single factor of the show entertaining. The entire plot (life?) was predictable and has been portrayed in numerous movies and other tv shows of a higher quality.

So why, MTV, must you air this honest-to-God piece of crap? I hope it's some sort of joke, like the
rest of your shows.
