I forgot how to add thanks to trash tv

One of my roommates is a HUGE fan of junk TV. This is the kind of tv that makes you forget things because you are losing brain cells. The other day I walked past the tv in our living room and I'm pretty sure I forgot how to add. Now, I'm not judging anyone for watching these shows (yes I am), I'm merely saying: it would be a nipply day in Hell for me to sit down and enjoy any of these shows.

American Idol:

I'm gonna be honest, this show is more ridiculous than a Sarah Palin shopping spree. The judges on this show are caricatures. I'm pretty sure Paula Abdul died at some point but came back as a short circuited Terminator. I used to have dance parties with my sisters to her jams (I dare you to judge me). Now I look at her and fear what Skynet is up to. Does anyone remember the video of her with the cartoon wolf? It was AWESOME!

I'm not sure who that other chick is so she gets to escape me for today.

Randy was in Journey. I respect him.

Simon must have a lifetime supply of V-neck t-shirts. He has moobs (man-boobs) yet he still rocks the baby tee. Why are his arms always crossed? Maybe he is just keeping his nip nips warm. I think it's funny that he is the final word on everything. These poor insecure singers are hanging on his every word. It will be a sad sad day when I pray for approval from a 50 year old, baby Gap t-shirt wearing British man.

I'm not gonna knock the contestants, much. They get out there every week and sing their hearts out. Good for them for trying. One of my coworkers sent me clips from the two finalists and I'm impressed...with one of them. Vote for Kris.

Grey's Anatomy:

I seriously used to watch this show. You know why? 'Cause my roommate and I would have girls over to watch it with us. Everyone wins! It used to be somewhat entertaining. There was a time when this show was about the medical field. I'm pretty sure that now it's a cross between Poltergeist and General Hospital. I could be wrong, but probably not. The only difference between this show and a soap opera is the time slot. Here is a summary of what I have from hear-say.

Meredith is a doctor - Meredith loves McDreamy - Meredith almost dies - Meredith gets married.

Izzy was in a men's magazine - Izzy is a doctor - Izzy fell in love - Denny died - Izzy sees dead people - Bruce Willis is a ghost.

George is a doctor - George gets married - George has a close encounter with Izzy and probably has a three-way with a ghost.

McDreamy is a doctor - McDreamy is smart - McDreamy's ex wife is hotter than his girlfriend - Addison leaves - McDreamy settles for silver medal.

That's all I know.

The Bachelor:

If ever there was a show that made a mockery of love, it was The Bachelor. A group of gold digging women vie for the affection of a rich guy. Now here's the thing. The guy is always attractive and is rich. He must be boring as hell if he can't find a wife. "I, duhhh, I have monies. Me likes boobs. Marry?" Mr. Bachelor gets to date all of these women at once and do whatever he wants and gets away with it. Congrats contestants, you have put women back 600 years. These women are competing with each other to be used by a man with money. I think Susan B. Anthony's grave just exploded.

What really bothers me about the show is that everyone falls in love. Wait. Love? Seriously? "I spent the best two hours of my life with him. We drank Santana champagne ('cause it's so crisp) on his yacht and it was magical. Then we went below and so did he." Two hours? Love. At the end of this the guy goes home with a girl and a venereal disease.




The Hills or any variation thereof:




I can sum up my feelings for this show with a short dialogue

Hey
Hi
So last night I was all tipsy on the beach and Thad saw me.
Thad saw you?
Totally
What did he say?
He was all like, "Amber, why are you tipsy? Don't you know my hair defines my emotion."
Omg!
I know! Our relationship used to be so fetch.
What are you gonna do?
I dunno, I'll probably call Trent.
Oh, do you think you'll get back together with Trent?
Probably. He is leaving for Europe next week and I kinda wanna go.
Good call.
So what are you gonna do later today?
I dunno, probably some blow.
You're bad.
Tee hee.
I haven't eaten in 3 months.
...


Thanks for reading. Peace.

What about Rock of Love, Daisy of Love (how does that title even make sense?), I Love New York, Charm School, etc? I watch 5 seconds of one of those shows, and next thing I know I'm a drunk, catty, violent bitch. And I'm sticky.

I loved this post. Especially your synopsis of Grey's Anatomy (Addison>>>>>Meredith) and the Hills. I actually know two guys named Thad. And they're both from SoCal. Keep it up, JM.

I HATE TV!!!!!!

although I did watch an entire season of the Bach.

of course, I had a girlfriend at the time. and I went kicking and screaming into every episode. and I made fun of literally everyone on the show. and the mother effing commercials which were worse than the show. and people were mad at me for my commentary. and inside I was smiling. B)

Greatest picture of Randy Jackson ever. But yeah, you left out VH1's 11:00am - 10:30am time slot of horrible television. Somewhere between 10:30am and 11am they sometimes play music. And don't even get me started on MTV. Some of their gems include:

Bully Beatdown
College Life
Engaged and Underage
From G's To Gents
Teen Cribs
Fantasy Factory
Paris Hilton's My New BFF
My Super Sweet 16
And 5 Dollar Cover

None of which have anything to do with music. All of which make me want to pour a fountain soda into my eyes.

Thanks for providing some entertainment during my beyond boring class.

FYI...it's a cat, not a wolf. Get your facts straight man :0)

Elizabeth said...

you make me laugh :) fyi, i'm going to make a reference to simon cowell everytime i wear one of your v-neck gap shirts to bed!

Michael Reda said...

Jorge you need to watch at least 1 episode of Daisy of Love. Not for anything else but how ridiculous the guys are on that show... Guy's names range from 12-Pack, Cage, Sinister, Chi Chi, to 6-Guage and Big Rig. Seriously.
