     Happens to all film and tv shows.   
     Something new comes along, its hot for a while, then fades away.   
     Plus film and tv go in cycles.    
     Some movie/tv show comes along and popular and shortly after carbon   
   copies come along.      
     Genre's come and go.   
     On tv it starts with, say a medical show, maybe a law/lawyer show,   
   cop/private eye, whatever and soon that's all that's on tv.   
     Then after a few shows the stories are interchangeable, with only name   
   changes.   
     You know Dr X will perform some medical miracle, lawyer A finds his   
   client innocent, cop B gets the bad guy, etc.

     I don't have a tv and have no idea what's on tv now.   
     At work sometimes people will discuss some current tv show and I have no   
   idea what/who they are talking about.   
     And I'm not missing anything in my life.   
     I prefer the old shows from the '50s to the '70s I can get off the net.   
      
   > I only saw one concert in person, late '80s, Lionel Ritchie   
      
     I've been to only one as well.   
     A woman I knew was a big Prince fan in the mid-late '80s and had me drive   
   to her a few hundred miles to see his show.  (She paid for everything and   
   used her car as well).   
     To me Prince was meh.    
     We were in the nosebleed section as well, could barely see the stage, the   
   sound bounced all around and so distorted I couldn't even make out the   
   lyrics, Connie (in her late 30s early 40s) was acting like she was seeing the   
   Beatles in 1964, etc.
