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).
