AishKaro5 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The change from Mazzara to Gimple was neither an improvement nor a huge step back for the show, which is about the best thing viewers would hope for under the circumstances. When you study the history of Western theatre, you learn that almost all tragedies until the twentieth century (and even many thereafter) were written either following the “rules” Aristotle supposedly outlined for the form, or in opposition to those rules: one main plot, one scene for all action, all action in a space of twenty-four hours.When it comes to TV shows that involve leads with romantic tension between them, there are also rules that are followed, largely defined by mid-eighties series Moonlighting: leads must be kept apart, romantic tension must be maintained through near misses and plot twists, there is no actual happiness in happily ever after.But Aristotle wasn’t saying how tragedy should be. He was describing some common elements in good tragedy. And Moonlighting wasn’t setting the standard for TV romances, either. In fact, it’s a poster child for what not to do.Hart Of Dixie Season 3 Episode 1How I Met Your Mother Season 9 Episode 4Beauty and the Beast Season 2 Episode 1NCIS Season 11 Episode 3The Biggest Loser Season 15 Episode 1The New Girl Season 3 Episode 4Supernatural Season 9 Episode 1Sons of Anarchy Season 6 Episode 5Downton Abbey Season 4 Episode 3Heartland Season 7 Episode 1Once Upon a Time Season 3 Episode 2Revenge Season 3 Episode 2Homeland Season 3 Episode 2Boardwalk Empire Season 4 Episode 5The Good Wife Season 5 Episode 2Drop Dead Diva Season 5 Episode 9Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 8 Episode 16Family Guy Season 12 Episode 2Witches of East End Episode 1Masters of Sex Episode 2The Wrong Mans Episode 3Watch Kick Ass 2 OnlineWatch Elysium OnlineWatch Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters OnlineWatch We're the Millers OnlineWatch Insidious 2 OnlineWatch The Wolverine OnlineWatch The Conjuring OnlineWatch Grown Ups 2 OnlineWatch The Purge OnlineWatch Pacific Rim OnlineWatch Despicable Me 2 OnlineWatch Now You See Me OnlineWatch The Internship OnlineWatch World War Z OnlineWatch This Is The End OnlineWatch Monsters University OnlineWatch Man Of Steel OnlineWatch The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones OnlineWatch Lee Daniels' The Butler OnlineWatch One Direction: This Is Us OnlineWatch Instructions Not Included OnlineWatch Riddick OnlineWatch Dragon Ball Z Battle Of Gods OnlineWatch Prisoner OnlineWatch Don Jon OnlineWatch Baggage Claim OnlineWatch Rush OnlineWatch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 OnlineWatch White House Down OnlineWatch Justin and the Knights of Valour OnlineWatch Gravity OnlineWatch Runner Runner OnlineWatch Curse of Chucky OnlineWatch The Spectacular Now Online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
