It seems (I think) that the only three TV shows I watch have had their season finales. There's just not much on that interests me anymore.

First up, The Flash 2014, CW

Barry has mucked up the timeline again. Urgh. Anything but that. Such a Barry-ex-machina

I was not impressed.

I don't follow all the crossovers, either. I can't stand Arrow, and Supergirl insults my intelligence.

Next, Gotham.

Hint to producers and writers: do a time jump and just end it.

This end-of-season, if it was, sucked so bad that I nearly didn't finish it.

If it wasn't the finale, it damn well should have been.

Penguin's long lost daddy? No Bruce? And Jim Gordon an escaped con?

Didn't work.

I'm sick of the piddling around. Rise Of The Villains?

Granted, a just-pubescent Bruce Wayne with only a cave so far isn't much to work with, but TRY, folks.

I'm tired of Penguin being up and down, in and out, King and bum. Let's get on with Ed Nygma, the Riddler. Let's do something exciting.

Hell, bring in a prepubescent Clark Kent if you have to. It's DC. Do something. If nothing else, fuck Selena. She's probably willing, for a few million $!

Imagine the scene:

Alfred: "You stuck your prick in THAT?!" -pauses- "How was it, then?"

Bruce: "Wet."

Deadpan statement. Straight face.

Alfred: "Well I hope you used a bloody condom?"

Bruce: smirks

Lastly, The Fosters.

I started watching this with all the bru-ha-ha going on online over what was billed as the youngest same-sex kiss aired in TV history, prime time at that. I think?

Two 13 year old boys kissed. It wasn't filmed well. Oh, the horror... civilization as we knew it ended.

They should just call this show the The Slutsters, as it's all about the female characters doing anyone and everyone that crossed their paths. It's as if the male characters hardly exist.

And how much tragedy can you heap upon one teenage girl? Seriously? Callie would have shot herself by now.

Jude's gay! He's 13. But wait...his superjock of a boyfriend moved away, and after all that ordeal of getting poor Jude to come out. Then another boy in foster care, in a bad way, kissed him, but claimed he wasn't gay, got killed by an abusive foster father, and his ghost came back to haunt Callie after Jude's "suddenly religious" eulogy, thinking that God is punishing him for being gay. He kissed a boy, the boy was murdered. Ouch.

Now he wants to kiss a girl. So he does.

He would have got slapped in real life, made even more fun of, and maybe arrested - in real life. But this isn't real life. It's fantasy. He's lucky he got 5 minutes of air time, given his sleazy sisters. So is he gay or not? Is he bi? Stay tuned for next year.

This season's funniest bit was the older brother telling Jude to research sex online for how to do it.

Google 'gay teen boy first time sex' or something. Hilarity as Jude slams his laptop shut with an odd face.

Ewww...

And all the tragedy, tragedy, tragedy...

Give it up, used-to-be-ABC Family, until you showed lesbians and gay boys, that is ... name change! Freeform? Sounds like a new tampon.

I mean really, what's next? Bedwetting? Sex change?

Why not just make him a eunuch and write him out to boarding school?

Oh, wait, they tried that with the other brother and he came back as a different actor! Well, not the eunuch thing, but he did take 'roids while away.

This all just reminds me of why I don't watch TV anymore, and usually just enjoy old movies.

There was a show this season titled

"You, Me, and the Apocalypse" -- It's a comedy about the end of the world by meteor and all the chaos involved.

and when it premiered, I watched about 20 minutes and saw nothing but cheesy jokes, a rather hateful send-up of the Catholic Church, and some "hidden" supposedly fantastic meanings that didn't exist.

SO last night it ended. I was watching parts of it between commercials because I Wanted to hear the news on another channel...

The finale was equally as insipid and as puerile and as moronic as the first 20 minutes.

The most gripping thing about the meteor strike was the AMBER ALERT that broke in twice near the end of the hour. (A baby was kidnapped and later recovered)

"Drama" isn't people being stupid. Comedy isn't brattish behavior. Storytelling isn't a string of cliche's and people running through smoke machines.

And no, absolutely NO! to the plot gimmick that one rather large and extended family has a bunker that will survive the meteor strike. If that were the case, there would be thousands of bunkers.

I watched "You, Me and the Apocalypse" from start to finish. It didn't convince me it was supposed to be a comedy. Also, the acting was, with a couple of exceptions, vile. Gee, this is turning into "Flo craps on a TV show". --FLO--
