Nobody Cares

So I am watching my favorite CBS TV series Madam Secretary and in this episode, they have just shot a war Marine veteran just recently awarded the Medal of Honor. He just got into a fender-bender on Washington, D.C. streets, and it all ends in being shot by two policemen who just arrived on scene. His shouts of "Nobody cares, and I'll just get screwed again" is his final words before the scenes fades off, with the sounds of gunshots.

It's true, nobody cares these days. Nobody wants to hear the details. Nobody cares about the older people. Nobody wants to help the poor. Everything is just a big joke that ends in those who need help not getting the assistance they require, and others who have just given up because of the lack of support from agencies and offices that just don't seem to get it right ever. Bureaucratic delays and poor support doesn't help anyone.....

It's just that nobody cares anymore.....

Even this favorite show that I enjoy watching, is seeing its last season. I know it's all about earnings, ratings and money, BUT just as it has happened way too many times in the past, tonight
Madam Secretary again aired late due to live broadcast sports, which always comes first before anything else. This pushing back of air-times has happened almost every month this series has aired. We know CBS doesn't care, but they have decided to end this great serious drama named Madam Secretary, but puts sports first, bumping the actual air time to a much later time when most people must get their rest to prepare them for the workday that begins in a few hours. 

CBS doesn't care, nobody cares. 

would you mourn for me?

It's been two long weeks waiting for the season's opening of CSI, and it was worth it. There has been NO other series on the little screen that has moved me as much as this... and the Las Vegas version has been the cornerstone of the spin-offs, which I feel are not as emotional nor as real as CSI on Thursdays.

Tonight at the episode's closing at the funeral, I will not believe it if anyone watching this say they did not shed a single tear.

This series, for the few years I have watched it, has moved me...
** emotionally, for its profound understanding of the human mind, and how it is interpreted for its viewers....
** for its accurate realism in protraying real lives, real people and real and true situations as much as possible
** deeply, for its meaningful manner of invoking situations and emotions that seem so real, that the scene and emotion protrayed could very well be yours, or mine...

I've watched less and less of television since I left the states and lived in Europe, but this is one program I will always watch with deep loyalty.

Though a virtual character has died, I have been moved so much that it could have well been my best friend that had died in reality.... Why can't in this real-world real emotions like this be seen, felt, and/or offered? Where friends are friends and will protect you, support you, and be with you in your good and those bad times? Why do we require a computer to live behind when there is a real world beyond that screen, past our walls and in the non-virtual streets that we walk less and less upon each day?

And why, in these modern times, do we need a television series so profound as CSI to show us HOW we should feel for each other, that WE are human too and not perfect like machines, and FRIENDS should act in such a manner... like the old days... when friends were true to our dying days, and more.....

WHY?
