Some times it is hard to see it out until the end

I hate to give up on TV shows although I do it all the time. I gave up on a bunch this year already. New Girl. Blue Bloods. The Millers. Two Dunk Girls. Two and a Half Men. I just can't take it anymore.

There are various reasons. Sometimes they just get too stupid like New Girl or The Millers. Sometimes they are too ridiculous in their political correctness like Blue Bloods and Two and a Half Men. But most of the time it is because they get too gratuitous violent.

Last week they had the 100th episode of the new Hawaii Five O and it was wall to wall torture porn. They had McGarret in a room and they water-boarded him and drugged him and hit him with a cattle prod while he hallucinated a whole new storyline with all of the characters living different lives. But mostly it was torture. We discussed dropping it but we are going to stick it out because we love to see all the places we had visited on Hawaii on the show. But it is becoming a week to week thing.

Another one that is on the cusp is the Sons of Anarchy. The had a guy who had his eyeball gouged out with a spoon two weeks in row. Not once but twice. It was a little overkill don't you think. They casually kill off ten or twenty people at a time but in brutal graphic way that is just over the top. Prior seasons were just as bad if not worse. I mean when a guy bites off his own tongue and spits it at the cops you know it is not Leave it to Beaver.

Still there are only two or three episodes left in the seven year run. So we are going to stick it out. Will Jax murder his mother because she murdered his wife and the mother of his children? Will the rest of the club get shot down because the other charters can't take their bullshit anymore? Will Gemma just kill herself or will she take other people down with her.

We have to hang on a couple of more weeks. But it is tough. I don't know if I really want to anymore.
