TV Sucks

There is no better title for the first entry of this blog other than "TV Sucks." If you had to choose between the internet and TV, which would you choose? For me, it would be no-brainer, and a no-brainer I would be if I subjected myself to a lot of this garbage that's on TV today.

And now we're entering the summer TV season, where the worst is thrust upon us like a dirty diaper to the face. I was watching Don't Forget the Lyrics for some unexplainable reason the other day. It was a celebrity version, starring Marvin Lee Aday (better known as Meatloaf) and his daughter, Pearl. For the sake of anyone who pays to see this man perform, I hope he doesn't sound as bad at his concerts.

I doubt I will watch Don't Forget the Lyrics anytime soon, I don't find it interesting at all as to how well people know the words of songs. But at least it gives Wayne Brady something to do, it's been a while since Whose Line is it Anyway? has gone off the air. Is the British version still going?

One encouraging sign for this summer is: there will be no Canadian Idol. One of the worst things for me personally about the glorified kareoke contests (both American and Canadian) is when I talk to my mother at all when these shows are running, she seems to get it into her head that I give a shit about these shows and gives me her opinions as to who she likes and hopes to win (shudder).

So here are some targets for upcoming entries on this blog: Jon & Kate and all other "reality" shows about families with too many damn kids, The Simpsons (Enough! I beg of you!), Grey's Anatomy (do you want to operated on by someone who has the maturity of someone from Junior High?), singing/dancing/"talent" shows, TSN and other sports news shows, news channel, and anything else I see a commercial for that makes me want to gag.
