Summer TV Makes for Bad Habits
Seriously.
I find myself watching things I never in a million years would have thought I'd be watching. It scares me. The DVR is an agent of the dark side.
Some of the Summer shows kick ass. Hell's Kitchen rocks, Chef Ramsey is sexy as can be and I just love him to death. The same with Top Chef, that's a good one as well. Those aren't new to me, I was actually looking forward to Hell's Kitchen and Top Chef before they started.
Let's talk about the rest of them.
Big Brother 8.
Pirate Master.
The Closer.
America's Got Talent.
The Singing Bee.
This is where I hang my head in shame.
Big Brother 8 for whatever reason has drawn me in. I like Eric, I like Evil Dick a lot, I like Dustin and his ex. The rest of them aren't all that special but it's worth watching for Evil Dick alone. Here's this Tommy Lee sort of dude who smokes and curses and is someone I'd like to hang out with. I chide myself every time I watch it but I keep going back.
Pirate Master. What the hell is wrong with me? In my (only) defense I say I would not be watching this if it was Fall and the regular season. It's a bad rip of Survivor (which I stopped watching 4 seasons ago) and the only one on the boat who is even remotely likable is Louie. It's bad and I know it's bad but there I am, watching it.
The Closer. Thank yew, go away. I love crime shows but this one makes me cringe. Kyra Sedgewick is way too New York, her fake southern accent and canned 'thank yew's sound like nails on the chalkboard. Too many talented actors in this one, it still sucks.
America's Got Talent. Yes, we need a rip of American Idol just as much as we need our weekly dose of the Hoff. I was starting to like this until they kicked off the Redneck Tenors in favour of Boy Shakira. It's not a talent contest, stop pretending. The world does not need Boy Shakira.
The Singing Bee. Where else but America can you win 50k for knowing the line "now that I can dance?" Sign me up for this idiot show, I want 50k for lyrics everyone in the free world knows! To make it worse they go and hire an N'Sync leftover to host. No wonder people in other countries think we're dumb.
I don't watch these shows when they're on. If I didn't have the cursed DVR I'd never see them but when it's the middle of the night and there's nothing on but reruns of the O'Reilly Factor, Pirate Master looks pretty good.
Goddess save my soul, I think the Gods of Dumbass TV are trying to take it.
