[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 155286, member: 719"] I don't know that I mind seeing the same elements of plots and stories, just their handling of them. I hate the predictability of how plots go, the excess and over-plotting, and the predictability of the dialogue. On Grey's Anatomy, for instance, patients have monumental exposition and fights as they are being carted off to surgery. And shows have become so bereft of creativity, they don't realize that for people's lives, drama and shock do not have to do with buildings exploding, meth labs, mafia hit-men, or even fatal diseases. I think the most relatable show I remember was "Once and Again," which accepted that everyday lives are full of ordinary but often seemingly insurmountable strife, without hyperbole. Even they could not resist throwing in the lesbian teen, but overall they kept it as low key and as tension-driven as people's lives actually are. [/QUOTE]
