I like your analogy about knowing your...Francesca,<br /><br />I like your analogy about knowing your audience--who you are marketing to. Romance authors know better than to try to pull off a "set up" situation and sell it as a happily ever after. <br /><br />I'm going to have to find a place that rents "True Blood" and watch the first season. You guys have intrigued me;-)Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430750954598484156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498899580300269250.post-78884577512686559112009-08-24T18:04:53.685-05:002009-08-24T18:04:53.685-05:00Hey Francesca,
Great blog! I've never watched...Hey Francesca,<br />Great blog! I've never watched either show, but I like how you liken the casting to a train wreck - I'd probably be more prone to trying to watch it if I knew the contestants were there to honestly look for love and not the biggest deal they can get elsewhere. ;)Serena Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959664736807639363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498899580300269250.post-54438668039462314872009-08-24T17:39:14.685-05:002009-08-24T17:39:14.685-05:00oooo Laurann is after my own heart. I love True Bl...oooo Laurann is after my own heart. I love True Blood! I have to admit I was fed up during the very first show of its kind with Evan the super dumb underwear model posing as a prince. My husband has a BS factor rule which states I'm not allowed to watch certain programs that make him want to puke, and almost all reality tv fits into that rule. I have to admit I hate most of it too. <br /><br />I totally get what you're saying, though. And since a lot of the dumber percentage of our population take their que from tv, romance experts could do a lot to influence better behavior in people if they were just given a voice. Take John & Kate. That woman was downright mean. I would never treat my husband that way (of course, I actually love mine) no wonder he left her. It should have come as no surprise to her.Crystal Kauffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279674658154552567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498899580300269250.post-27713711541825028022009-08-24T16:23:42.711-05:002009-08-24T16:23:42.711-05:00Francesca, great analysis. I'm so glad you did...Francesca, great analysis. I'm so glad you did it and not me. Frankly, I couldn't stomach the hype from the beginning, so never really watched. Just caught snippets. I mean, what I saw was usually so demeaning to humanity, in general, I just couldn't take it, even with the romance carrot held out.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498899580300269250.post-18025062308471848992009-08-24T15:17:46.535-05:002009-08-24T15:17:46.535-05:00I totally agree! I watched it for a while but... I...I totally agree! I watched it for a while but... I got disgusted with the bad decisions. I walked away and now watch TrueBlood. LOL. At least there's a good romance there, both on and off screen. LOL.Laurann Dohnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682357766355440391noreply@blogger.com
