Hey kids, gather round–post-Thanksgiving joke time. What do you call a show that can’t even get the ratings of Knight Rider on a bad day, hosted by a militant lesbian who couldn’t keep an audience paying attention in the first place?
Give up?

I really don’t like reality TV.
Starting things out like that may make you wonder, why am I going to write about something I hate so much? Well, to be honest with you, most of the problem I have with reality TV is that the reality it portrays is a really unpleasant one.

Hey TV viewers!!
Are you fat, balding, favor sweatpants and a wifebeater with a horribly anachronistic gold chain and have more body hair than certain kinds of wildlife? Do you resent your neighbors and have no visible source of
income? Have you been held hostage by weightlifting equipment with ambitions of global domination?
If you have, well, you probably have a lot more fun on your weekends than you should, but you also may be able to land yourself a TV gig being none other than Carl in a live-action episode of Adult Swim’s food-based show with a title that has almost nothing to do with the show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Okay, I’m really, REALLY happy about this, especially since I was so spectacularly fond of the show Dead Like Me back when it was on Showtime, which as you know is the home of stuff like Dexter now. You can generally count on premium cable to put out good TV because they don’t have to kiss the FCC’s egomaniacal ass.
And as a result, we’ve got a sweet new piece of Dead Like Me that we can all enjoy. Read more…

The networks have more reason than ever before to cringe, as viewerships on even some of their best shows like Heroes are slipping.
Seems the viewers are packing it up and going with cable instead. Read more…

All right, so it’s another week and another episode of South Park has come and gone.
And this time, Matt and Trey hit a bit of a sour note by offering up a skewed take on High School Musical.

Bender sang about it on the then-final episode of Futurama, but man, did I never think I’d get me a dose of it quite like I got when I cracked open the news files this morning and saw this headline:
Jury Recommends Death Sentence For Power Ranger

Leave it to Matt and Trey to turn a presidential election into Ocean’s 11.
The worst part about the preceding? I’m SERIOUS. That’s the worst part about it. South Park actually turned the presidential election into Ocean’s 11.
