stay away

In case you were thinking of becoming a fan of ABC's new show The Forgotten, I have some advice: Don't.

I watched it last night. And in addition to being completely ridiculous throughout (I could go on and on about the ridiculous elements but I won't), here is how it ended:

The team of volunteers who discovered the Jane Doe's identity (by thinking, HEY, maybe that strange tattoo she has is a pitchfork from a BLUE DEVIL, which could be her high school mascot! because people get tattoos of their high school mascots all the time. especially goth girls.) walk solemnly, in flying V formation, out of the cemetery after being tearfully thanked by Jane's mother.

Voice over from the dead girl:

"My name is Tracy Braxley, and these are the people who gave it back to me."

Pan out. Surge of inspirational music.

I see you're convinced. Excellent.

I hadn't even heard of this show. And I watch A LOT of TV.

I liked it. I wouldn't say it was the greatest show on earth, that would be Life, but it was interesting.

You just inspired me to watch it. I love cheesy tv shows....

I'm convinced. I won't even go there.

Thanks Dani for warning me about another tv show I should avoid. I do want to keep my tv watching down to a minimum and you are helping me with that! Look how your journalism skills are serving the world!
