Tuesday Television Viewing

As Tuesday night draws to a close I come to realize how pathetic the television viewing options are. Once I hit primetime I get some of the most horrible mind melting pop culture crap on the planet. American Idol (especially this season) is some of the most ridiculous, indulgent shit on the planet. 2 things that are killing me this season

1. Adam fuckin Lambert – This kid got praised for destroying ring of fire for making mockeries of the song he has chosen to sing each and every week and yet the American public is eating it up. I’m not saying the boy can’t sing he definitely has a voice, but the thing about singing you are suppose to know how to perform the songs well not OVER THE TOP like he has done week in and week out.

2. Simon assmunch Cowell – i get that he’s suppose to be the “mean” judge, but at this point it’s just coming off as so fake. Now the format of the show is the other 3 judges love someone and Simon find something to knock them on. Randy just says something about them being his Dawg DAWG; then Paula says or does something that makes you question her sanity no matter how much she fights the rumors; the New Judge tries to make sense and give good insights, but all we are thinking is YOU ARE WHO?; and then here comes Simon being a petty bitch with petty bitch observations. Of course Simon often knows what he’s talking about but NOT ALWAYS and when he doesn’t he just comes up with something to make the crowd boo

Then with the 9 o’clock hour comes the most ridiculous remake of a show EVER since Degrassi… 90210.  There was so much hype and the show showed so much potential and promise but in the end we got another pointless teen drama with storylines better suited for soft-core porn (all the 16 year olds in this school are boning EVERYONE and the teachers are getting play) or an adult themed cartoon (when it comes to the dumb wacky storylines and side storylines; actress Grandma is too over the top). Anytime you watch the show you realize its an hour of your life you are desperately waiting to get back

After that painful 2 hours of TV programming you finally start getting choices of things to watch, but nothing that redeems television as a whole:

 Housewives of… (I’m so happy New York is coming to a close next week this show contains some of the worst examples of ADULTS on the planet. OC is still the most entertaining but the moms are getting worse though they still have a long way before they reach the pathetic level Atlanta reached and New Jersey is looking to surpass).

College Hill (plain and simple this show is rock solid proof that BET is trying to convince everyone on the planet that this is how all black folks act. All college aged black men and women aren’t this ignorant and they have yet to show that fact. All they show are the most repulsive black images on television. We have come a long way but to watch this show it makes you wonder for what? I’m in no ways a Militant Afro Centric individual, but anyone with any type of sense could tell you this is a horrible example of black America and its beamed into millions of households weekly).

My Boys (easily the best of the shows mentioned in this blog, but there is still a downfall. Though it’s still funny it has had an incredible drop off from where it was the first season to now. Now this happens a lot with popular shows, but not normally between season 1 to 3 and that’s a real shame because this show was so incredibly awesome in the first season. I have not officially given up on the show as of yet, but with my attention span growing shorter and shorter and the laugh coming farther and farther apart I don’t know how much longer my interest will last).

Madden bids ADIEU

It is truly a sad day that we've all seen coming for years. John Madden has stepped away from the announcing booth. He's a legend on the field as a coach in the booth as an announcer and on your favorite gaming systems with the all time best sports gaming franchise PERIOD. The 2009 - 2010 season is going to be incredibly weird without hearing his voice Sunday nights. The last good thing to come from Oakland Madden has vaulted past all things RAIDERS to become all things FOOTBALL. There are plenty of great coaches many with more championships, but he does hold the distinction of having the best Winning Percentage of all NFL coaches.
Now that I've quoted all the crap anyone who reads this would already know its time to get real. I think Madden was fun to listen to. He knows his shit, but you must admit there were plenty of times he did not get his knowledge across smoothly. He was known to babble and what the hell is with the man's love for turkey legs. I refuse to eat any bird with as many legs as a Spider I mean how can you trust that really? "Oh Dustin they just sew the extras on" Oh that makes it so much better? Fucking cadaver splicing is ok with you people? As far as the game i stopped caring in 98 then I became a HUGE fan of the NFL 2k series which I very much miss. I have to admit Madden games are fun and REAL as it can get, but the 2k series was just much more fun to me.
All that aside it's going to be sad to see him go especially because the best replacement they could find was Chris Collinsworth. I don't Hate Collinsworth, but entertainment and knowledge factor he will never be Madden. I think Chris' ultimate downfall is the fact his football experience was being a wide reciever for the damn Bengals. I mean that's like being a kicker for the Lions its a big who gives a rats ass situation. So anyway gonna miss John Madden and I am very interested to see how the season will unfold without him in the booth. I tell you this season is going to be an adventure T.O. in Buffalo, Bengals cutting the cancer, Plax jail bound without a team to support him and the leuding threat of Vicks return and all the angry close minded fans sharpening their claws. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL???

The blah that is APRIL

Don't really know what to say. Sometimes you just get to that point where you feel nothing but blah. Well I'm definitely all blahed out today. I'm just sitting watching Idol as they tell lies about this Adam kid. Sorry if I'm just holding a grudge but after his rendition of Ring of Fire I no longer want to hear what comes out of this little freaks mouth. At this point i just want them to either hand it to Danny Goekey or Allison and be done with the season. I'm so ready for so you think you can dance. Even though America's best dance crew is a huge success I don't feel its done enough to take the thunder that So You Think You Can Dance can bring. Oh interesting thought. I began this post thinking about how its April and already I'm bored with baseball and apparently so bored with the topic of baseball I'm now focusing on reality television. It's a crazy thought, Reality Television trumping America's past time on current pop culture's significance meter. How crazy is that. What next commercials officially taking over for the Superbowl? 2 hours of commercials with a 1 hour rundown of the game that was played like the day before. Oh what a sad troubling future i see before my eyes. We cannot let it be. We must fight this crazy tide of "REALITY" which is taking hold of us. So who's with me. I said WHO'S WITH ME! oh wait its almost ten Real World Road Rules challenge time. OK gotta run....

April thus far

check out my new friend from twitter yes I've made a twitter friend. I find her fasination with SPAM and pop culture fascinating and turns out she's good people to. Said I'd give her a shout out so here it goes you can see her on TWITTER Or you can check out her BLOG
Either way you are in for a good and very random read.
Let's see what else is new. I've been enjoying my new responsibilities at work and making the ones who came before me look like douches. On Friday I was given a county vehicle and was told to do drop off with the 4 DMVs in the county. It was fun driving from Stockton to Lodi to Manteca and Tracy. Got to see parts of the county i had yet to explore and be out of the office for most of the day. Hope i get the chance to get out of the office more and more. Oh well good things come to those who wait.
