[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 192097, member: 8"] I'm not sure how an overwrought Christian melodrama like LHOTP is [I]not[/I] supposed to look like overwrought Christian melodrama. Sometimes I can really enjoy the obvious fakery. I think it's dishonest to show lots of (slow-motion) montage scenes and then sell it as "story" or "drama". Quite a few modern tv shows have nothing to say, it's lots of fancy filler and you don't realize it until you realize it. That's dishonest fakery imo. People watch sentimental shows like LHOTP and The Waltons because they want to cry [I]with[/I] the characters. Sort of a sitcom with tears. A sitcry.
