granted, i am a bit tired of all the cop and doctor shows to. but it is hardly suppressing or odd that this is the case. seems entirely reasonable that there will be more tv shows about the professions that most people dream about, and society considers to have the most prestige (not sure if that includes serial killer  )and when it comes to marketing, you market what you know sell... everything else is a gamble with money. witch is why 95% all the aaa pc games look exactly the same as the prevues one. what the sensitive gourmet tv noses in a torrent forum think is of little value ;-) |

i think i can answer that. we're stupid. not we as in americans, but we as in a viewer of shows. the uk has documentaries on particle physics, we have "...because aliens." haha all kidding aside, hollywood found long ago that if they keep making a movie or show based on a fomula of hitting the largest audience (aka cast the biggest net) they can get more viewers than if they tried to max out one specific group of people. that's why you have you slept with my sister drama in arrow, and scantily clad hot women in chick flicks. so that girls will watch guy shows and guys will watch girl shows. everyone knows what a cop or a lawyer is and it worked in the past so might as well carry on, right? ehhhh hate that laziness. what it also breaks down to is that these shows are incredibly cheap to make. like very cheap. most the costumes and wardrobes are available from other shows (that were probably canceled), sets consist of someone's house or a building then fake blood and plastic "police line" tape. there's no special effects, no extravagant props or animations, etc. so knowing that the average viewer is dumb, likes to see drama and hot women in a profession we don't have to wikipedia to understand the basics of, and that the production value will be basically cast, crew, lights, and camera, then they just green light everything and just shout action! sad thing is kevin smith proved that you can make a movie for 26k and make millions box office when he made clerks, so the amount they spend on their revolving door cop dramas is still too high lol. i'd like to see teams of film students given the chance to pitch shows on live tv or on some sort of reality show where the winner gets to make their show and air it on tv. i'm not advocating reality tv by any means, but if they get a young genius, lock him/her into a directing contract with the station and 1 mini season for their show, make their show and debut it. we'll see a lot of crap in the competition segment, but with the winner we could see the next firefly, breaking bad, or it's always sunny in philly. and that's about the only way that i think hollywood will listen to viewers, if we dumb down the whole experience into a reality show.. lol |

>the reason is probably that us need more ppl working in those proffessions. us needs more lawyers? you're kidding ) it's just much easier to portray some jobs as heroic andor attractive and some people as geniuses at what they do. lawyers wear sharp suits and save the day either by publicly arguing the case with their silver tongue or smugly passing binders with documents that make bad guys shit their pants. it's even easier with people who risk their lives (cops) or who save others (doctors) it's much harder to do that with more mundane jobs |
