An Average Take on Some Bad TV...
I guess I haven’t been paying much attention to TV these days, as somehow I didn’t notice until recently that a new season of ‘Average Joe’ is now airing…Average Joe 4, that is…Anyway, since I’ve only seen the last two episodes, I really have no idea what this season’s shorty is famous for, or what sets her apart, as one of the previous ladies used to be an NBA or NFL cheerleader and the other one was a model who once dated Fabio…This edition’s centerpiece definitely seems like a nice girl, but some days she looks great, while other days not so much…Still, as my boy Ken-tucky says, I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers…Or something like that…
Anyway, from the little I’ve seen so far, you could’ve told me that this season’s show was called Average Guido and I would’ve believed you…This week, she got to go undercover to see all the joes go out for ‘guys night out’ and—to stir things up a bit—they hired a couple ‘models’ to go to the bar and hang out with the guys…Now, my only question about all of this is that when they say ‘models,’ was this NBC’s way to say whores? One of the guys sat down next to one of the girls and within 30 seconds they were hooking up, while the other ‘model’ got her fair share of action as well…
This girl, whoever she is, has had some great meatheads to choose from…a couple that look alike, and a couple more that sound alike…Regardless of what happens, I wish the lucky couple the best of times as they start their new lives together, and hopefully there won’t be any secrets that come out at the end—such as this girl once dated the guy who played Slater on 'Saved by the Bell'—that could potentially lead to this year’s 'winner' breaking things off immediately, with a hissy fit on the beach no less, just like that dude who wasn't Fabio's biggest fan…
Regarding other ‘dating shows,’ I also wasn’t able to see many episodes of the most recent ‘Bachelor’ series, but I originally hoped to check it out, as I heard this guy was related to someone famous…When I first saw the guy, I was happy to see that Huey Lewis’s son got his own show, only to later find out that this guy was Jerry O’Connell’s older brother…He may look a little like Jerry, but he sounds a lot like Dikembe…Either way, I’m happy he was able to find a nice girlfriend—errrrr fiancé—out of the show…At the same time, though, the producers must be getting pretty desperate when they can’t get Cush for their show, and they have to take his brother instead…
In other TV news, has anyone else noticed how the networks have been jamming commercials for upcoming TV shows down our throats during some of the recent major sporting events? Last week, during the MLB All Star game on Fox—of which I watched a total of three or four innings max—I think I saw at least seven commercials for a new show called “The War at Home,” starring Michael Rapaport and some other struggling and/or no-name actors…Not only did they show the same clip over and over, but that one clip was pretty lame…something about how the daughter was going on a date with some fool named “Tay,” which apparently was short for “BooTay” (cue laugh-track), and ‘he didn’t get this name from being a good study buddy!’ (cue laugh-track). Once I got over how brutal this clip was—and as I was trying to guess how many episodes will be released before this rightfully gets canned—a couple other thoughts came to mind…First, haven’t we already seen this show? Yeah, I think it was called “Grounded for Life,” and it was also on Fox…what makes this tidbit stand out even more is that Fox cancelled it before finding a new home to die a slow death on The WB…I guess another thing that came to mind about this advertisement was that you can leave it to Fox to premiere a show by the name of ‘The War at Home’ on September 11th…
Along these same lines, during the NBA Finals—the parts that I could sit through that is—ABC bombarded us with commercials for its upcoming ‘Commander in Chief,’ which appears to feature Geena Davis playing the President…of the US, that is, not the PTA…Uh, yeah, before I get myself into any trouble with my mom and sister, I’m just gonna go with a ‘no comment’ on this…
Finally, during March Madness, CBS exhausted any free air time to hype up their (already cancelled) ‘Blind Justice.’ Umm, sure, that sounds like a good show…some cop loses his sight, but we should keep him around as a detective and give him a gun because apparently he has mad skills…Actually, I really don’t know if they did in fact give him a gun, since I never actually saw the show, but at the time, I was willing to bet any of my friends that North Carolina would survive longer in March than ‘Blind Justice’…Good thing I didn’t make the bet, though, as ‘Blind Justice’ wasn’t canceled until a week after UNC was crowned…
Now, if only NBC can take a cue from Saturday Night Live and give the show ‘Deaf Judge’ the go-ahead….That, and ‘Average Guido’…
More to come soon, I hope…Or, at least, before another three weeks pass…

Hey "Charles" - you effing slacker!
You've got some good stuff here but you're going to have to post more than this, man. Maybe if you didn't watch so much damned TV...
