EW Always Got it Wrong
My first ever magazine subscription was to Entertainment Weekly. I enjoyed reading about the latest in movies, television, music, and books for a while but after a few years I canceled my subscription. EW became too sarcastic and full of themselves — no doubt an attempt to appeal to the young male demographic. The stereotypical young male demographic.
Well, the glossy magazine filled with pretty pictures of fake pretty people recently released a new classics issue, featuring what they foolishly believe to be the best modern classics from 1983 to 2008.
EW’s list of the best 100 modern TV shows is a sloppy concoction of naivety at best. The Simpsons ranks first, Seinfeld is third, and I can’t say I disagree with that entirely, but from there the rest of the list unravels like the frayed tassel of an imitation Persian rug.
