<p>There's a new show on TV this season about what it might be like if suddenly we were without electricity. The show is titled "Revolution." And despite my better judgment I started watching. I already regret this. "Revolution" is the type of show that needs to keep its main premise going forever.</p><p>That means they will never figure out what happened to the electricity. They will never get it back on. And worse, the writers will add so many twists and turns to the plot it will be like following directions with the new iPhone.</p><p>Halfway through the second season viewers will have no clue what is happening. We will be wishing our power would go out so we don't have to watch anymore.</p><p>So here I am watching this new show, knowing I will hate myself for it the minute the main characters discover a secret clan of mentally unstable, underground dwelling, former electricians praying to a giant circuit breaker panel and muttering about amperage. Some viewers will wonder what deeper meaning this has. What it means is that the show's writers are running out of good ideas.</p><p><a href="http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/opinion/x1272739081/Ostaszewski-Lights-out-now-what">Keep reading...</a></p>
