Sure your grandmother is great, but even though she makes you wonderful things and is a sweet old lady, she probably doesn't follow TV all the time, and if she does, it's probably not current.
The other day my grandma came over and started asking me all these questions about what I'd been watching on TV, saying she was interested in seeing "some new shows". Here, then, are 5 selected ones that I don't believe I'll be demonstrating to her anytime soon.
#5: True Blood.
If you get past all the violence and the blood and the amount of dead vampires attacking humans and all the like, you've still got to contend with a ridiculously high amount of sex on the show, which for a television production is surprisingly graphic. I don't think this will be headed grandma's way.
#4: Baltimore as a Hellish Experience on The Wire.
This one is harder just for explanations' sake. The inner-city dialects are so thick, and then throw in the gang violence, rampant drug use, depressing city corruption, and general urban mess of the show. If grandma has been living in her peaceful world for the last few years, you don't want to blow it up with this.
#3: The Sopranos.
Maybe she'll get a kick out of the moral issues, but the murdering of prostitutes, brutal mobster violence, and insanely high amount of swearing might make your viewing experience -- sitting next to your grandma on her'70s-vintage couch, eating scones -- a little bit uncomfortable.
#2: Chiklis and The Shield.
Let's say your grandma was helped across the road by a nice policeman. This show does not profile that nice policeman -- instead it involves the ultra-corrupt Chiklis and his band of other, equally deviant cops, who will shake your nana's faith for a long while.
#1: The Messy Insanity That is Breaking Bad.
Urban decay, political corruption, and even mobster violence are things you might be able to explain to your grandmother. Watching a terminally ill chemistry teacher go on a meth-lab creation downward spiral is slightly more difficult, and explaining why it's a great show is even harder. Go with 60 minutes instead.
The next time your grandmother asks you what's new on TV, just say "they don't make them like they used to," and put on an old classic. It's better for everybody. - 29872
