Today, I am home sick for the second day...sucks! Usually, I'm home for one day tops, but this is a persistent little bug. That also means the second day of crappy daytime tv. We got rid of satellite tv a year and a half ago in a 'we're responsible consumers' movement. So thanks to digital tv, we have like 10 channels. But, also thanks to digital tv, not all of those are the same quality. Some of the pictures are digi boxed and the sound is all screechy. We still have to adjust the digital box...I miss fuzzy sounds and snow. At least you could watch through the snow, the digibox pictures completely ruins the show...
...not like that's all that ruins the show. Who is the target consumer of daytime tv?? I'm usually not home during the day, when I am I'm in my office working. The morning news anchors try really hard, but are just as cheesy as their nighttime counterparts. I'm watching Steve Wilkos at the moment...let's look at the logistics for a moment. Who would have thought there would be a spin-off of the Springer show?? Really?? Steve reads emails after each show, yesterday someone asked if the people on the show were actors. Steve stated that he would hope noone would go on tv and lie about themselves...really?? If they didn't, you'd have no career, Mr. Steve. The people on this show don't sit in the chairs on the stage, they stand the whole time staggering back and forth ready to jump...yeah, every normal person acts like that.
Then there's the judge shows...good grief. Why does anyone ever volunteer to go on Judge Judy?? Why would you go on a show to find 'justice' when the host doesn't listen to anyone? Judy knows what her decision is before anyone even starts talking. She thinks everyone is dumber than her. I get it, she deals with a lot of idiots. That doesn't mean that you call everyone an idiot. She lectures on respect and being a decent human being, but she's the furthest thing from it. Who else is allowed to speak to people like that?? Worse than her are the people who CHOOSE to go on the show. Do these people ever watch the show?? I watched 2 poor 19 year old boys confide that they were in posession of medical marijuana, they had their prescriptions and everything. They got a lecture about doctors in California and the secret motives behind medical marijuana...they didn't prescribe it to themselves Lady Judy!! She makes terrible comments about families and tells very young parents how stupid they are for having kids...ummmm, it's done now!!! How about being constructive instead of destructive!!
Then, there's the complete opposite...Judge Hatchet. Who toots their own horn too much??? In the opening lines, she stated "I'm here to save your life". Who says that?? We all know that there exists certain careers in which the people do save your life...we all know people in those careers...how many of those people have we heard make that statement?? I've never heard anyone say that...besides Jesus. You don't hear soldiers, cops, firemen, teachers, parents, etc. make comments like that. Why does TV Judge Hatchet get to say that and everyone just plays along?? Gimme a break.
...I'm putting in a South Park dvd...
