Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I like predictable TV shows

I like predictable tv shows
Colombo always followed the perpetrator
In Death in Paradise the inspectors solve every case
Someone on the stand confesses in every Perry Mason episode
Harvey Korman always falls on his butt on the Carol Burnett Show
No matter who the Equalizer is, he or she fixes everything for a good guy
John Wayne always beat the bad guys in every movie
Until The Cowboys when he was murdered by Bruce Dern
I never liked Bruce Dern after that
And I never watched another John Wayne movie
I like predictable movies too

Quoth Theraven August 14, 2025 at 10:04 PM The golden age of television lives in this gem Caren. There's something to be said for the predictable. Life is a zero gravity script. -Richard Caren Krutsinger August 17, 2025 at 5:48 AM I do love predictability but then again, I also love the alternative.
