I don't get it.Have you ever been to a film festival and viewed a new "experimental" film? If you have been in this situation, sitting with that deer-in-the-headlights expression, wondering what and why you are watching this horrible piece of "art," then you are ready for My Generation.
Imagine a documentary team interviews 9 high school students shortly before graduation. Then the same doc crew catches up with the young adults 10 years later. Imagine this with hand-held, sometimes shaky cameras, wacky focus, video shrunk down to half the size of your tv screen, then big, then somewhere in between. Imagine no plot, no interesting characters, not even the high school nerd who still rides his Schwinn everywhere.
Maybe twenty-somethings will relate to Generation. Maybe crack-heads will.
I understand producers who want to create something edgy, new and out-of-the-box. But I don't understand creating crap. My Generation is sad and painful to watch. Just shoot it now and put it (and us) out of it's misery. Even the logo is bad.
WORST new TV show of 2010.
After just two miserable weeks, ABC has canceled My Generation. How did it do in the ratings? In it's second week it ranked sixth in it's time slot. I know, you're saying "sixth?" but there are only 4 networks. Generation did worse than Univision and CW programs.
ReplyDeleteThank you ABC for minimizing the toll on America by only running 2 weeks of My Generation. It should have never aired in the first place.
Now the only question is which new ABC show will go next... Detroit 1-8-7 or Whole Truth. Since nobody's watching either one it doesn't really matter.
