TV Sucks Canal Water
I am totally burned out on television shows. Nothing is amusing or appeasing me. Meh.
American Idol is total shit with the exception of that David Cook edible yummy thing. The rest, ackk. I wasn’t feelin’ yesterday so please go read Rachel Lucas’ Idol Commentary. She is far more entertaining than the actual show and hates that little monchichi doll Ramalamadingdong as well. For the record, I still hate Ryan Seacrest… lots.
Hells Kitchen was typical crap, but crap I watch just to see Gordon Ramsay say things like GET OUT YOU! and What’s wrong with you, ya Donkey! He makes me hot.
Survivor, is it even still on?
America’s Next Top Model hopped the spermwhale or skipped the albacore or whatever the phrase is, about 3 seasons ago. Tyra needs to shut the fuck up and pass the baton to someone less annoying like Christian Siriano from Project Runway. She is starting to remind me of Oprah with her diva shit.
Speaking of the Big O, the nasty one, not the fun one. Miss Winfrey is doing a show in honor of her dead dog, Sophie. I am not going to touch this, really. Ok, maybe one comment. I am not going to attack dog owners, but I have to ask the obvious question. Could you fucking be more self absorbed and freakin’ frivolous? Is it even possible? Maybe you can have another show where Obama is sanding down your corns as per his agreement for you to endorse him and attempt to get your legion of brain dead women who depend on you for their daily cry to vote for him. UGH!
What happened to Private Practice? I liked that show.
Bravo is even disappointing me a little bit with Top Chef, though it is just getting started so I will reserve my hate for a few weeks. Make me a Supermodel was not great. Not so much because it was horrible, more because it just have gone on entirely too long. The only thing I am diggin’ these days is Housewives of New York City. I miss the real estate guy.
I want some good tv. I need some good tv. Someone make a suggestion or something. If anyone puts Flavah of Love in the comments I am going mock you for the fool you are… relentlessly so.

Private Practice won’t be back until fall.
Are you watching Canterbury’s Law? It’s a nice happy fun train wreck.

watch a lot of crap. Including AI – my kids love it. However, I do know what’s good.
The best stuff seems to be on Premium channels.
“Dexter” won’t be back (on Showtime, but currently playing on CBS) until later, but it’s probably the best thing on TV. You gotta love a sexy serial killer – who you actually encourage! Showtime has some great shows:”Weeds”, “The L Word”, “Californication”. I’m not gay or even bi-curious, but the whole gay community thing fascinates me. I have a lesbian friend that says that most of her friends aren’t nearly as hot as the L Word chicks, but she is. Ha! Also, David Ducovney in “Californication” is fabulous. He’s my type; tall, smart and sarcastic. Mmm.
I tried to watch “The Tudors”, but it never quite caught my interest. I kept googling the real facts (I’m weird like that) and it began to annoy me.
On HBO, I can’t wait for “Big Love” to come back - I want a wife. I don’t think I’d want her to have more kids, or bed my husband, but the whole second wife thing could work with the laundry and all. I really miss “Six Feet Under” – I loved that show. Also, the good seasons of “The Sopranos”.
On Network, we LOVE “The Big Bang Theory”, only because we see what our Asperger’s son will be like when he’s grown. Hysterical. Very cute show – smart, yet silly. Also “How I Met Your Mother” is funny – way better than “Friends” ever was. Neil Patrick Harris is the best.
Still love “Medium” – I know that’s one of your favorites, too.
I still love to watch a late night episode of “House Hunters”. It fascinates me – don’t know why. Lot’s of other HGTV stuff and TLC, WE, Bravo - “Jon & Kate Plus 8”, Little People, Big World”. Since I’m home a lot, I DVR lots of crap and watch while doing laundry or walking on the “DreadMill”. And yeah, I’ll admit it, I have watched every episode of “Scott Baio is 45/46 and Single/Pregnant”. the Crappier the reality show, the better I like it. Oh, and “The Bachelor”- pure crap and I love it. Can’t quite explain it.
So yeah, TV sucks canal water most of the time, but there’s some stuff that’s good and some that it just embarassingly entertaining.
