I don't get tired of it, I am constantly in awe and believe it is all real.

When I turn on the tv and put on BBC 1,2, ITV, CH4, 5 and its the same rubbish time and time again. It's makes you want to cry. How many shows does there need to be following the police around, or inspector checking dirty hotels/restaurants, celebrity chefs, antiques, buying house, some programme about someone's elses health issues etc?
Then you watch a show like Game Of THrones and sit back in bliss and realise tv is still relevant if its made by the right people.
There have been far too many new shows these days with Netflix and Amazon accelerating things even more. But there are gems out there, one of mine Hell On Wheels will start again soon. And as Greg Berlanti, the American tv producer, has been mentioned earlier in the thread, check out his earlier show ánd my all time favourite Everwood, for some excellently written family drama.
But its always nice to go back into the darkness after the light and snuggle up with Norma and Norman Bates in Bates Motel. Great tv is around, you just have to go looking!

Hope you're feeling better. Don't worry someone even more "pleasant" than Joffrey comes along. "Sausage anyone?"
