Well, at last there were choices on television tonight. We watched Survivor, we hadn't even gotten to the opening credits and I said to my husband, "I'm already bored." How many more puzzles do I need to watch muddy, emaciated people put together while trying to finagle an end run around the team mates that trust them? It all reminds me a little too much of Junior High.

And then Johnny Fairplay - He is so annoying! He's there three seconds and he starts mouthing off about how the sweet little Yo Man slammed his head into the boat. You know, it really bugged me that Danny Bonaducci got slammed for thowing Fairplay onto the floor and busting his teeth - I figure if you jump on someone and start humping their head, you deserve to be thrown off of the person you are attacking. And if in the throwing you end up breaking your nose and all of your teeth, perhaps you will rethink jumping on people's heads and humping them in the future. I'm just saying...... But after all the hype of Fairplay being on the show, he simply rolled over like a girl scout with a box of thin mints at a fat man's door. Give me a Break!

Then we watched Celebrity Apprentice. After the whole Rosie O'Donnell debacle I swore I would never watch Trump again, but in order to make fun of his hair I need to be able to see it. Is it just me or has he upped the ante? It is so bad! Is there no one in his organization that can stand up to him and tell him that he looks ridiculous? I'll bet that's why Caroline really got fired. And he keeps trying to tell everyone that it's real. Donald we don't care if it's real or fake, you are missing the point - It looks STUPID. We all asumed it was fake because if it's real and you choose to wear it that way, then you are really dumb. We were trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. Anyway I digress.

Omarosa is a really a bitch. And a worm. And why is she on CELEBRITY Apprentice? I have a theory, remember when she was saying that one of her teammates used the "N" word? I don't think that anyone said it, but I think Trump got her to stop suggesting that someone said it by offering her a spot on CA! She needs to go!

And then I sort of watched Lipstick Jungle - which just didn't grab me. What I DVRd was ELI STONE - Last week I loved it and I want to make sure I get to watch the new one! My husband and I walked around singing FAITH all week. Great show - STAR STUDDED CAST - Tom Cavanaugh basically had an under 5 role (I assume that his character will have a weekly flashback presence - but still - very impressive to have him involved) ever actor in the show is great - -and by the way we LOVED the Autism shout out! Ken Olin directing - fresh idea - LOVE it! In fact, I'm going to go watch it right now.

The Bad TV Hall of Fame

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!

Writer's Strike Hell!

Okay, okay, I am addicted to television. I admit it. And what's more I'm not interested in changing. I think that television is one of the great gifts in life and that it is with out a doubt the single greatest tool for change and enlightenment in the history of mankind. So back away from my remote AND give me back my writers.

Look, I think I have great taste in television, but I'll be honest if there isn't something great on, I'll watch things that aren't so great. And if there is nothing that isn't even not so great on--I'll watch Charles in Charge. Don't bother being shocked and appalled I already said that I am addicted to television. I'm like an alcoholic that prefers a nice black label scotch but who will drink rot gut wine if neccessary. With the writer's strike I am now at the television equivalent of drinking my perfume in hopes of catching a buzz.

I watched Miss America Reality Check last week. And I loved it! By the way Miss Alaska was ROBBED! Don't even get me started! And speaking of which, why was Project Runway a rerun this week? Do the people over at Bravo not understand that there is a REAL emergency going on and we need for the shows that don't require union writers to pick up the slack? Come on people, who is sleeping at the switch?

And let's talk about David Letterman. Please don't get me wrong. I LOVE David Letterman. In fact, my husband and I have an understanding that David Letterman is the one man I am allowed to continue fantasizing about romantically other than my husband. And I love that Dave showed what a STUD he is by standing up and doing what was right. Seriously, it was right up there with him calling Bill O'Reilly an idiot to his face. You have to give Dave credit, the man has serious cahonage. So it pains me to say - What is up with the lame writing on his show since he's been back? It is the saddest thing I have ever seen. Seriously, Dave, fire the whole lot of free loaders, I hear there's lots of talent looking for union work. My God, with the complete glut of anything interesting and all of that time off, you'd think that the show could manage to be pee your pants, I can't breath funny at least once per show! Instead Letterman is getting nuisance calls from the California State Highway Patrol - has the world gone mad?

Alright, I have to go - Scott Baio is 46 and Pregnant is coming on - and since Charles in Charge isn't on, it'll have to do. Sigh.
