Can't take TV shows seriously any more because characters are too good-looking!

I watched a few episodes of the new Dallas series, just to catch the late Great Larry Hagman play JR once more- I couldn't figure out who the rest of the characters were, they all had the same plastic soulless expressions, all the younger guys looked alike as did the women, and none of them could act. JR, Cliff and Sue Ellen just stole the scenes.

They actually all look alike in the new Dallas. It's really odd, whoever cast it obviously went for what he fancies in a man/woman. I only watched a few episodes (it's sh*te), but found it really hard to tell people apart after a bit.

Greys Anatomy is another one. At least in the first season all the original interns were good looking but looked frazzled, tired and normal. Switch over the the new season and the new interns are stunning models with perfect makeup and hairstyles but zero personality. It's so unrealistic for interns working 20 hour shifts to look like that!

The Secret Circle was another example of a perfectly stunning cast but no personality or plot. Just pretty people running around being pretty.

Charmed: first few seasons were great, good plots, character development. Pretty cast but they looked like regular people. Fast forward to the last few seasons and they were dressed like tramps with perfect hair and makeup no matter what, and the storylines and plots turned to crap.
Seems the be, the prettier and more styled the cast, the crappier the plots and characters.
Speaking of GoT, Brienne is way too pretty! Although she acts the part well.

Im trying to watch arrow, but the looks of all the actors are really putting it off for me.
Every one of them looks like kids that have been wrapped up in cotton wool to protect their beautiful features since childbirth.
Its annoying. As i was really looking forward to that show. But the age of the main actors, their looks, their profiles, everything about that show sucks.

But then everything that comes out of the WB/CW channels are kids acting as adults and trying to save the day and looking good while doing it.

And despite having plenty of scars on the torso everyone's fortunate enough not to have had their pretty faces marred despite them getting pounded into mincemeat on a regular basis.

If you took the time to actually watch an episode of Home & Away you'll notice characters such as John Palmer, Alf Stewart and Irene Roberts who are not perfectly groomed models, also Sid and Harvey who recently left.

Happened to see Home and Away during the week, for the first
time in years. Was surprised to see Irene still there, looking much
better than the last time I saw her!

She looks pretty much the same...

your standards have just dropped over time

To be honest I much prefer to watch TV shows with good looking people in it, male or female. It can feel quite awkward when ugly people are on TV.

Saying that, I think there is a line of how good looking an actress can be. I cannot watch Jessica Alba films because I spend the whole film thinking about how much I want to ride her. It completely dominates any storyline.
