Blab



Between The View, The Talk, The Chew, The Doctors, Dr's Phil & Oz, Anderson and Ellen, Kelly & Michael, the morning shows, not to mention CNN there are hundreds of people on television each day giving us their opinions, theories and judgements.

Isn't that enough?

Yeah I know they are cheap but we are worth more! There is nothing the television landscape needs less that another celebrity talking their way through an hour of our lives. Who is going to watch Jeff Probst and Ricki Lake? Anyone? Jeff Probst is a good looking man and a decent host of Reality's Survivor, but who actually thought he was interesting enough to fill an hour... I don't dislike Ricki Lake, but she has not really been interesting, or that good, since some of her early acting roles in Cry-Baby, China Beach and below with Craig Sheffer in Babycakes. Lets face it, Lake lost her what made her unique when she lost all that weight and although I am glad she is healthier, thin Ricki's project choices have been uninspired.



There was a time, cold or flu and missing school or work meant a fun day of soap operas, cartoons and classic sit-coms. Turning on the television during the day lately makes faking a sick day hardly worth it at all.

You're so right. I miss the days of being home sick and watching old episodes of Gilligan's Island or The Patridge Family. Now we just have trash like Maury Porvich. Better to just leave the TV off.
