So beware my friends, there's a show called October Road on Monday nights at 10pm that is the worst TV show on- not just right now- but ever. This show wasn't on my to do list this week but I happened to catch it because I was avoiding everything else I should be doing. I actually saw an episode from the 1st season and it only stunk moderately but I'm here to report that the stench from this drippy hopeless TV drama has only increased in its 2nd season.
And I have to hold my fingers over my nose and close my mouth tight so not to let in these irritating characters with their unreal town and boring moral dilemmas.
The worse thing about this show is the dialogue- it is not real. And it's not even basic real TV dialogue. It's almost like they are making it bad on purpose (as an evil joke) or someone thinks they are creating this world of new dialogue. People will never talk in complete sentences back and forth completely making sense at all times. So please- stop creating characters in TV and film that do.
Anyway, I must tell you why this really is the worst TV show ever. I tuned in last week and heard the names of the twins boys fathered by Ray "Big Cat" Cataldo, a hopeless character on this show. Anyway his children are named...Jasper and Casper. Yes, you heard me right..someone on TV named their twin children Jasper and Casper. And that person is a cat with a friendly ghost and a gem for sons. I should have turned off the TV right then and there and cancelled my cable subscription. I mean, really-terrible-this thing called TV is sometimes and I'm even more embarrassed that I wasted an hour or more (well, really sped through both episodes with Tivo) of my life on this show.
I guess ABC had these episodes lying around and due to an empty pantry they thought they would unleash us into this town nicknamed the "Ridge" with hopeless plot lines that run in circles. Please do not watch this, I've done the work for you. Please make it my Christmas present. But please put a pretty bow on it and bring me a cocktail too.

Oh god, I SO agree. It's horrible...I couldn't even make it past the first two episodes of the series.
I gave up after this lovely dialogue exchange in like episode 3 of last season:
College kid: "Are you the police?"
Other dude: "I'm the police...OF YOUR SOUL!"
I mean, what? What what what?
Worst show ever. And I usually love horrible shows like this.
