How Is This Show Still On?!

And I'm sorry, there is no reason Malcolm in the Middle should be on the air. In fact, how long has it been on? I still can't understand why anybody would watch it as it's the televised equal of getting a protological exam by a double amputee who chooses to use rusty hooks from 1943.

In it's defense, the mother comes up with some interesting punishments. (I may be biased as I have sons.)


Boobah is banned at my house, as was Teletubbies. I swear those shows retard children. #nosmileys

As a child-free individual who hasn't had a chance to observe their effects on any offspring of my own, MrsOldMansBalls, take this comment with the necessary amount of salt, but I think you are so right about this! I've been saying for years that the world's most popular t.v. shows for kids, Teletubbies and Boobah among them, (I also don't like that stupid show with the Wiggles--are they from Teletubbies, too?) both have the power to stunt intellectual development. Massively.

Blind Justice, who the hell were the fifteen million viewers watching this show? Well, I did see the first ep. but in my defense I only have two channels (ABC and PBS).

The Bachelor/ette. Needs to go away forever. I liked it the first couple of go-arounds but now it's tiresome, scripted, and cheesy.

I nominate The Shield, especially after watching at least three weeks of horrific promos in which Glenn Close seems to take the whole freaking show down to the dialogue of a particularly bad episode of One Live To Life. Seriously, try watching one and see if you won't develop a twitching disorder to the word 'trust.'

So sick of all the friggin celebs and their friggin money and problems. Who cares!

Doesn't the host Jan Carl (not sure about her name) look over botox?

Elmo's World.

While I do not have kids, I grew up with Sesame Street, and I have young ones in my family that couldn't LIVE without ELMO.

Personally, I think that Elmo is just the worst thing that could have happened to Sesame Street. He screeches, whines, talks about himself in the third person, can't even speak proper English...aaaargh!

So, y'all can imagine how I probably feel about Teletubbies and Boobah (I once caught this one when I was home sick from work, and let me tell ya, it would have only worked for me if I were on Percoset. Obviously not for kids, then.)

And WORD to everyone who hates the King of Queens. Leah Remini needs to be taken down a few notches. Seriously.

I was in a focus group for a Who's the Boss spin off that starred Remini. I did my best to sabotage the show. Does that count?

I remember that one! She was one of a bunch of young models, right? The only thing I remember about that show is they all wore hideous yellow eye shadow for some reason.

I saw a little of Joey the other night, and while it isn't weeping-Jesus awful, it's kind of like pissing on a graveyard. It's so unnecessary and not even a worthy successor to the perfect souffle that was Friends, at its best.
