it’s tuesday night again (and how its been 10 days since my last post i don’t know), that means…

“dog the bounty hunter” + “mindfreak” = my head could blow up at any moment! they’re both so… excruciatingly irritating! and before you ask, “so why do you watch?” – (a) i like to live dangerously! so the mere fact that i literally could spontaneously combust because they’re so damn annoying is kind of exciting, (b) i have a theory that after living in jersey for 5 years you develop a physical need for a certain amount of infuriation, without which you’ll start lashing out at innocent bystanders, and (3) it’s summer what else is my tivo going to do on a tuesday night? on a good tuesday night there will be a new episode of SCARRED on MTV in the middle of A&E’s douche bag parade, which does nothing to reduce my blood-pressure but entertains the hell out of me, but they are few & far between.

here are some observations regarding other summer television irritainment..

Dateline – they brought back just a few episodes of their very popular, “to catch a predator” this summer, which makes me as nauseous as “scarred” but in a different/worse way. but their other attempts like “to catch an i-jacker” about i-pod theft are really lame. seriously! leaving a brand new i-pod, in the package, in a shopping bag on a bench at the mall, and waiting to see who takes it does not constitute busting an international ring of techno-thieves! that’s barely even theft, that’s finder’s keepers and we all learned from our older siblings that’s just the way it is, kid! how else do you learn not to leave your shit laying around?

Scott Baio is 45 and Single – no big mystery there, Chachi! you’re single because you’re a jack ass! at least you’ll have your man-whoring memories to keep you warm at night when you’re 75 and single, and that’s more than most.

[by the way, the Scott Baio show may be the least pathetic of the hundreds of celeb-reality shows that are on, such as paula abdul, the two coreys, gene simmons scripted family jewels, and on & on & on. so let me just say mr & mrs beckham, if you are so uninteresting that you can't get your reality show picked up.. you are too boring to live!! and i don't think that bodes well for the future of pro soccer in this country but i seriously could not possibly care less.]

The Roast for Flavor Flav – are you kidding me?? how do you roast somebody who is permanently fried?

Who wants to get a job – america’s top model, america’s top chef, america’s top hooker, who wants to be a super hero, who wants to be a soap star, hell’s kitchen, on the lot, and on & on & on. ok, i made up the hooker one, but seriously, doesn’t anyone use monster.com anymore? why don’t we just have one show called “who wants to be a media whore” and it can be on 24 hours a day with different professions on every hour or every night or something. i don’t know, but they need to be contained.

Last Comic Standing – the one show i was looking forward to for the summer season.. highly disappointing! two words.. Mel Silverback. are you kidding me?! if he had made the finalists i would have had an aneurysm on a wednesday night. gtfo of here with your tacky tuxedo wearing, gorilla masked ass. seriously, i wanted him to get gonged, or have a giant hook pull him off the stage, and the “talent scouts” cracked up. wtf? at least i have survived Ant. omg! even if he was remotely funny, which umm he isn’t, nobody with a toupee that tragic should be allowed to go out in public let alone go on television. and this is nbc for fucksake, don’t they have hair people on staff? what are they thinking?! it’s bad enough we have to tolerate his horrible taste in comedy. and seriously, how does having been a LOSER on this show in the past qualify you to be any kind of judge now? obviously, people didn’t think YOU were funny, why would we think that anybody YOU think is funny is funny? so the funniest people never made the cut, with a couple exceptions, and people i liked are dropping like flies. btw, bill bellamy.. also not funny.

Jericho – watched the rebroadcast of the pilot on tv because we heard so much about it. then the following week on tv when they said “previously on jericho”.. we had no clue what was going on. so i went online and found out they had skipped 7 episodes!! wtf? so we tried to watch a few online but the technology is just not quite what it should be yet so that was just painful, so nevermind! it seemed really boring anyway, and seriously.. skeet ulrich?

ugh.. i just realized i could go on about this crap for another 10 days because there is an endless supply of game shows, and dating shows, and reality shows, etc. but what’s the point? i think the only show i’m really enjoying is “30 Rock” because tina fey & alec are hilarious, and occasionally i find “Wife Swap” interesting but it seems highly manipulated by the producers, and thank Stephen for “The Colbert Report.”

anyway.. when does Heroes start?
