So now I have no excuses and for that I am grateful. I HATE commercials, I think they speak down to the public. The programs that where on never more that mildly held my attention until now. I have never been that attached to the boob-tube (my father's word for the television) before. And in the end it only costs the subscription rate for HBO (no, I don't work for them). For me, to watch these characters struggle through some of their problems (which usually make mine look like a day at the beach) and let us come along with them to learn about their weaknesses and fallibilities and humanness is a lot like therapy for me. Not always pretty, not always successfully but always openly, to us, the viewers. We sit each week and watch, basically, a part of ourselves work through personal issues, prejudices and shortcomings. And that I feel is one of the binding elements of the watchers to this program. Now after all this time and openness about our dysfunction, we begin to see how very much alike we all are. And it was ok to go about telling people that you are from a dysfunctional family just to be in'. I mean before Donahue was the most popular show on TV, I don't think most Americans even knew the word dysfunctional' as applied to the family unit. And that is what I think speaks to so many people. And that speaks volumes because all of the characters on the show are kinda messed up in the head. To some degree I can relate to all of the characters on the show. I figured how could the maker of American Beauty go wrong? Boy am I glad I figured that. From the very beginning no before that From the moment I heard that Six Feet Under was created by Alan Ball, I knew I would like this show.
And how many people admitted to tearing up or even crying while watching the show.
#Six feet under t.n.t. series#
As I was reading through the comments about Six Feet Under I was struck by how many people expressed how this series made them FEEL.
