Murder! Butterflies! Big Jim shooting televisions and yelling at a dog! Weird alien-like cocoons! An alternate reality! Under the Dome is most certainly back. The third season premiere left me in a state of shock. Not because anything in the episode was particularly shocking, but because the episode wasn’t terrible.

The very first reality shows, such as The Brady Bunch, An American Family, and The Walton’, were developed in the 1940’s and over the years dramatically evolved. When they were first produced, they were appropriate for all audiences, but now have gone to a more extreme level of television, full of lying, fighting, deception, and faultiness. Even though they are called “reality” shows, doesn’t necessarily mean that they are real. Many Americans are so intrigued with reality shows that it has led…

I never was the writer who lived a rich life grand with detailed stories that gave them initial inspiration on my creation of a character, detail of a line or the crafting of a setting/scenario.
