Missus Scrabbapple

Did you hear they actually made a film about the nation's top scrabble
players. It's called "Word Wars". It is another documentary on the
trials and tribulations of the obsessive compulsive made by the
obsessive compulsive. Apparently we have given up on entertainment.
Why don't we make a film on people who wash their hands all the time.
We'll call it "Washies" or "Wash Wars" and make millions. How about a
film on the effects of leaving a box in the sunlight for a year. They
can film my backyard and call it "Boxing the Sun." How about a reality
show by Trump called "Who wants to be my janitor" or a reality TV show
about the library. We'll call it "Shhhhhh." At the end of the show a
reader will get voted out of the library. You get immunity by reading
the fastest or reading the most books. Come on people, are we really
that starved for entertainment. The one thing that TIVO has taught me
is that we don't have to take it anymore. We can record our favorite
show at 2 in the morning and watch it on prime time when "Shhhhhh" is
on.

Do you know what the worst thing is about those shows?....They're catchy. A week or two ago, my daughter was tired early, so me and the wife put her to bed earlier than usual. While the wife got dinner ready, I flipped on the tv to wath the last half of the 6:30 Seinfeld. Dinner was ready before Seinfeld was over, so we watched from the dinner table. After Seinfeld, some new reality show came on about 2 families swapping moms for a week. We ended up watching the whole thing. We new it was dumb, but kept on watching. It's almost as bad as someone watching "Nell" on purpose.

as usual, your quote is faulty. Isn't there more to this one part.
Wonka: "Of which direction we are going.THERE'S NO KNOWING WHERE WE'RE ROWING, OR WHICH WAY THE RIVER'S GOING..... Is it raining, is it snowing,
is a hurricane a blowing?".......we all know the last part is wrong.

Ahh! 5 minutes off - I can get on the internet. I like reality TV. It gives people with no life like me a window to the world. I mean geesh, the knowledge gained from these shows is wonderful. Take Survivor for instance, they show things that could really save your life someday. Look at how many times a week the real world calls upon you to build a fire by hand or eat living cockroaches....
