Subject: true story

when we were kids we could watch a tv show and fall in love with the characters . We believed they were as we saw them. There were no parralel shows with true story interviews available. Mary tyler moore was sweet on her show and sweet in real life. Now of course 20 yrs later we see MTM on nik at night and there are real interviews with her talking about her drug problem back then ,the fights with ed asner and even one can see outakes with the director yalling CUT and then mary telling ted to fuk off cause he read his line too late. I no longer have a crush on her as I used to have wen we originally saw that show.And kids today maybe 12 who see it as reruns also see the interview and know the reality at the same time they get introduced to the show.However this reality not only is part of repackaging old shows but has become part of new shows too. I mean a new show goes on and imediately the kids can catch the ugly outakes and reality interviews . Todays kids dont have thre innocents or the chance to fall in fantasy love with a character. I used to believe the charcters were real and I wanted to hang out with them and be friends with them. But todays kids see a new show and immediately they see that its bull and just a show. They are robbed the fantasy of imagining themselves with these characters. Maybe its cause OUR generation controls hollywood and loves remakes from our choldhood. That wud explain the overkill on 1970 shows being remade. Maybe these same execs know that this could be sick sl they purposely sabotage it by showing the behind the scenes of all 70 shows intertwined with that show. They force themselves ans us to SEE REALITY. Its a therapy they feel they need after realizing they are recreating their own childhood shows and we maybe need. this therapy too. THe problem is that this reality stuff now accompanies even NEW shows .In REALTIME kids see that the new character is just an actor.What next? Telling 2 yr olds that bigbird is just a guy in a suit? Elmos a hand? Or the voice of tommy pickles is an adult actress? Will kids be left to fantasize? Or is it time for this generation to be matured more quikly? Online one can catch the dirt on any new shows actors day one. Kids see that its false , they are forced to see that its false. We knew in our time but the reality was kept far so we cud easily believe the fantasy. Did you know that the house from i dream of jeanie was the same interior as in bewitched and in partridge family? I never caught that wen I was a kid. hints of reality .But today, they stuff it in kids faces along with the baby bottle.
