Casual Sex on TV There’s a saying “Don’t sleep where you eat”…well actually there’s another ‘S’ word used instead of sleep but I digress. Apparently not many people know that saying on TV. I have no problem with casual encounters with random people. But there is constant causal sex amongst exes, friends and co-workers. There are many examples of this but Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girl and Private Practice are the guiltiest of this. And I’m not talking about wanting to pursue an actual relationship, one where clothes can stay on occasion and both parties are fine with it, I mean hook-ups and one night stands. Let’s start with Grey’s: The show has been on for six seasons with currently 117 episodes under their belt and in all that time no one has realized maybe it’s not the best idea to sleep with everyone you see on a day-to-day basis. How many times have there been awkward situations, betrayals, affairs, and heartache because of thoughtlessly hooking up with your colleagues? But despite this they get right back on the backwards and fall back off again. What would you call someone who does the same thing over and again expecting a different result? These are intelligent surgeons who can recite hundreds upon hundreds of medical terms effortlessly but they can figure out that if you touch fire you’re going to get burned. Aren’t doctors supposed to get better with each mistake and learn from them? Now Private Practice is even more ridiculous because they’re older (but I guess not wiser) and as the title states, it’s a private practice. This means there are not hundreds of different doctors and nurses and even janitors to fool around with. Okay that would be so funny if Grey’s started doing that. They have gone through a fair share of nurses; what else is next…janitors. Imagine one of them asking Clyde the janitor to come down to the basement to dust off their ‘pipes’ and ‘vents’. But back to the matter at hand; they have exhausted almost every possible angle for relationships. Anytime they bring in a doctor or a new character that’s not a patient it’s just a matter of time before one of them has the new guy or gal going to free clinic asking why this “area” is burning or itching. Gossip Girl. I would have let that show slide because there is hardly any parental supervision around and they’re young so they’re entitled to some mistakes. But the fact that they’re filthy stinking rich with all the time of world in their hands and all they can do is play musical chairs with each other is inexcusable. They have used every pairing sometimes more than twice. Dan and Jenny (siblings) are the only ones who aren’t knocking boots but you never know what will happen when they run out of storylines. Serena and Blair might have practiced kissing on each other when they were younger; Nate and Chuck could have had a summer camp romance. With this show I wouldn’t be very surprised. They can go around the world and back with ease, have a life I can only dream of but instead they just want to switch between the same people over and over while making random people miserable. Why do I watch this show again? I can’t believe I just realized how pointless this show is. I mean with Grey’s and Private they’re at least helping people and aspiring to be better doctors. But what exactly is the point of this show? I guess it’s what you call a ‘guilty pleasure’, now I just feel guilty for watching it for as long as I did. Time to remove this off of my ‘scheduled recordings’ list. Now I’m sad that a show like this thrives while Sarah Connor Chronicles is dead and buried. Wipe the tears and move on. Edie (R.I.P.) on Desperate Housewives slept with everyone’s husband on the block and the wives basically had enough and drove her off. And Friends who wasn’t together on that show, they even had Rachel kissing Phoebe and Ross sleeping with Joey…it was napping to be fair but still. Now like I said before I don’t care if someone’s promiscuous just don’t bring it into your everyday life especially if it’s just sex you want. Go to a night bar for some ‘nookie-nook’; a truck stop, I’m sure there’s a nice trucker out there who will love to fill your tank ; maybe a library, you know they say geeks in the sheets are freaks; or how about getting a hobby. Just stop using friends for fun, this isn’t prison, you can meet people anywhere. People are like Starbucks there’s always another one around the corner. |
