I Kind Of Doooon’t Waaaant My M-T-V~~~
What is going on with the writer’s strike? Has anyone figured out exactly what’s happening here? Who knows. . .but I have to say that this is effecting my viewing habits. When I deign to dip down into the lower depths of the cable channels, I am shocked by the meagre fare. Not that this is anything new, I just cant believe that the TV execs are considering a pay bump for the highly polished crapola that is on television. Of course, when you consider that most has to be sniffed by the execs before it has any chance of reaching the air. . . . still. Can’t we do better?
Cheers!
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. They are actually funnier without the over-written tripe they’ve been shelling out recently. . .especially Stewart. His natural gifts blossom when he isn’t saddled with the trite political rants that his viewers expect and crave. I know the formula:
Politics=CoolRevenue but good politics don’t necessarily mean good entertainment.
Jeers!
There is way to much of the Making-An-American-Super-Idol-Ass-Of-Yourself-As-Your-Big-Brother-Races-Nanny 911-For-Survivor-Apprenticeship-Season-8! hype. If I have to see one more retard (and I use this terrible word in the most heinous way) dressed in vaguely trendy clothes, primp their hair and mug for the camera and chirp about how “wonderful and smart and cool” they think they are and how “totally crappy and fake and lame” the other guy is, I am seriously going to. . .change the channel.
It’s funny to think that a few years ago on CNN I watched as an entertainment reporter and an studio executive remark how the “reality” concept had lost steam. Right.
So, with all of that in mind, I say let’s put our heads together and come up with a really great “reality” concept! We could make millions!*

C.O.L.A. 3. global mean temperature as dictated by ”Al Gore” and 4. the feelings of our dog ”Sparky”)
