I just saw a little bit of Grey's Anatomy

I'm over at my folk's house, using up some of their internet in one room while my mom watches her stories in the next. At one point I hear some hushed, feathery college folk music soundtracking a white dude and a white lady using vocabularies to talk about the subtle complexities of their vague emotional uniqueness, and how to feel about how it is to feel something about somebody somewhere, and other bullshit faux problems that people without problems create for themselves. Holy shit, it's Dawson's Creek! Mom, what the hell are you doing watching Dawson's Creek?

Nope, Mom says. It's Grey's Anatomy. But six and one half dozen, y'know?

Now, I never watched more than two minutes of Dawson's Creek, and I've now seen about fifteen seconds of Grey's Anatomy, and I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying, y'know? But here's my point, anyone who is more familiar with these shows and this type of show than I am:

People who were in high school when they were watching Dawson's Creek are probably just now getting out of med school, or some other grad school, or they're some other kind of young professional, and they still want to watch Dawson's Creek but pretend they're grown ups (like they were doing when they were watching Dawson's Creek).

Quite naturally I don't care in the slightest to investigate this line of thinking any further, but does that sound reasonable to anyone else? No? Well fuck you, I'm gonna download 30 Rock.

Sincerely,

A white dude without any real problems

P.S.-- Sorry I haven't been writing much lately; don't have a lot to say but mostly I've been really busy. My band just came out with a new album and we're playing a show at a museum this weekend, and also I am in a play opening a week from today, and then there's all this other stuff that the internet doesn't really need to hear about

P.P.S.-- My mom seems to kind of hate Grey's Anatomy; she's snarking at it pretty hard from the other room. It's good to know where I get this stuff.

I watched a lot of the first two seasons of that show with my ex. 50% of the vieweship for that show is guys trying to get laid.

I love 30 Rock!

Liz Lemon: Why are you wearing a tux?
Jack: It's after 6 o'clock Lemon.
What am I, a farmer?

*Sigh*...he's always on!

Every time I read the the word "snark", I die a little inside. It's not a real word, dammit! You mean "snipe"!

I never thought of Grey's Anatomy that way. Actually, never thought that much of it at all. But it makes sense.

Never go with a hippie to a second location.

Admin said...

Jesus, Jack Gordon, that's fantastic. I think the other 50% are people who have terrible taste (and who cry everytime they think about Sex and the City being cancelled.)

Alex Nichols said...

AWESOME post. This one should definitely be included in the "Best of Joe Mathlete" clip show.

Also, 30 Rock is the best show on television right now.

I heartily agree with everything said about 30 Rock. Is it me or does NBC have a monopoly on humor in prime time broadcast television?

Soulful Jenn said...

For lack of better words, and the fact I got to see 8 comments before me, I love 30 Rock.

As for your blog that was part of Blogs Of Note last month, (thought I'd mention since u probably ALREADY KNOW) I'm glad I checked it out. You're being bookmarked cleverly funny man.

I don't know if I've changed, but hearing you talk about yourself and the things you hate has become a lot less interesting lately. Then again, I can't imagine this comment being worth reading either.

Miasma said...

I haven't watched either.
And I'm a 20 year old female.

I'd like to keep it that way.

Thank you, your conclusions make perfect sense and I really appreciate the insight.
