Love and TV

Yes, I am a sinner and watch TV on Sundays.  I love Masterpiece Classic on PBS.  Yesterday they had the third episode of a new Emma.  Oh, so good.  Then I watched Lost in Austen, where Jane marries Mr. Collins.  So horrified.  Then I watched Larkrise to Candleford.  Laura gets her heart broken by the traveling clock maker.  I cried for a very long time in agony.  In many movies the success of love is the end of the show, whereas in TV nobody is allowed to be happy.  Some sort of trauma always gets in the way of love and happiness.  Why is that?  I cannot stand it when love is thwarted.  Yes, the show must go on and they only get to be in love when the series is cancelled, but still happiness is exciting, too.  Like the possibility of going to Disneyland for free is exciting and entertaining.  Or, the happy home where nobody fights; that is exciting also.
 In my sleeplessness caused by the horrible cliffhangers, I read a book that ends happily.  I was then able to fall into a troubled sleep where I had crazy dreams about different love situations.  Most of them involved a hot tub and an airplane on auto pilot.  Enough said.  Happiness in love is really attainable.  Just look at Big T and I.  We really had a rough go at it in the beginning because of my health issues and his schooling.  I thought we were not going to make it.  But, look at us now.  We are happier and closer than we have ever been.  We are coming up on 10 years of marriage and cannot be more thrilled at the prospect of 100 more.  What is not exciting and thrilling about that?  My real life could be the stuff of legendary humor and audacity.  Why not make that a show?  
 Because it would be humiliating, but also because no one would watch.  Alas, in Today's society people thrive on suspense and lack of commitment.  Happily married, highly committed people are not interesting to watch week after week.  The hearts of men have definitely turned to the colder side.  But for me, could there be one show where I am completely satisfied week after week with the love shared between two people and their family?  Could Fisher Bloom please come back and decide his love for Laura was enough to let go of his travels, or could she give up her secure situation and family for his love and adventurous life?  Could that love be enough for the both of you, pleeeease?  Watching the way both of your eye lit up whenever you were in each other's presence was very satisfying and filled my heart with joy.
 Please Holywood, make it you business to create more love and happiness in the word instead of trying to tear it down.  Do your part to make the world a better place rather than helping it to take a turn for the worse.  If all else fails remember the words of Stephanie Meyer's mother, "Love is the best part of any story."
