I couldn't bring myself to watch prime time television tonight - of course the night is not over. Last night I found myself at 1:30 in the morning watching Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. This is an all time low for me. It was worse than a car accident that you can't look away from. I've always liked Dr. Drew but you know the only time I ever saw him was sitting next to Adam what's his name and it occurs to me that just about anyone looks like a fine, intelligent, responsible adult when juxtaposed with Adam Whathisname - Is it Corolla, like the car? I can't think because I'm so tired from staying up watching this stupid show!
Anyway, I now see that Dr. Drew is a BIG IDIOT too! Hey, I've got an idea! Let's take a bunch of celebrities with sustance abuse issues and put them on camera trying to get clean. And we'll say that it's a really humane way of talking them into it because they are such a bunch of publicity hounds that they probably would never get sober if not for the lure of the camera. And then, when they complain about the cameras, we'll question whether they really want to get sober. Think of the money we'll make! Aren't we great people? -----And yet - ----I couldn't look away.
So tonight in protest, I turned off the TV and walked away. Okay, I watched a little Bill Maher on Larry King and then turned it off. Boy, Bill really doesn't know when to tread lightly does he? He really ticked Larry off, it got so chilly I thought Maher was going to need an ice pick to work his way out. And instead he started to sweat. That's when I turned it off. I can't bear to watch flop sweat
I can't wait to watch the super Tuesday coverage tomorrow - at last something decent on television. Maybe we'll get lucky and have another upset like New Hampshire so I can watch a speechless Tim Russert shake his head and say, "I just don't understand." Now that's good television!
