Chasing UFOs (2012)
More quality programming needed. This one is an example
Chasing UFO's? More like chasing a purpose. More quality entertainment and informative programming are needed from Channels like National Geographic.
The series at first look - the title - before watching an episode - would seem to be a very interesting perspective on UFO's. It would seem at first look that a National Geographic series would be based on a journalistic style as have appeared in the magazines.
But even watching just one episode - no substance or authentic purpose appears. Either it is wrong to expect some purpose or not - chasing UFO's insults the viewer.
As most people would expect - channels like History, Military, TLC and A&E in the past have tried to report and inform. Now we see this trend offered for the public entertainment. But shows like these are not entertaining but silly.
Weird camera angles, whispering at night, pretending to be chasing anything real and false evidence appearing real - such as a marsupial passed off as a potential alien.
They proposed the idea of an alien - but at the very end that idea was debunked. Of course it wasn't. It lead the viewer of a possibility - maybe keep watching after the break - but since no other real evidence was available an obvious earthly mammal was proposed to the viewer. Didn't think anyone thought it could be an alien.
Maybe expectations don't match reality. Days of informative and enlightening episodes such as A&E Biography, TLC True Crimes or History Channel's Vietnam on HD maybe dying but don't insult the viewer. Either way the series is not entertaining or informative. One star out of many only because it serves no purpose or does it serve as an engaging series.
Cable T.V is expensive enough - we don't want to be slapped in the process. However other shows on National Geographic channels are good this one isn't.
So, dear networks provide us with only quality entertainment and informative episodes we pay for!
More shows that change the way we see ourselves and the world are needed. Hope that come soon.
