You know how at the end of Real Time each week, Bill Maher reads his list of New Rules?
I LOVE THAT! I WANT TO DO THAT, TOO!
Today's new rule:
TLC (which stands for The Learning Channel) must change their name. If they have to keep TLC as their call letters, then I propose the following:
Totally Lame Channel
or possibly
Tabloid Leering Cameras
Seriously! What gives? This channel started out as The Learning Channel and had some decent programming back in the day. Watching it now? Will cause brain rot. It's totally voyeuristic crap.
Does anyone care about Michelle & Jim Bob and their herd?
How about all those shows about little people?
Toddlers & Tiaras? (which I heard described as the training grounds to get on MTV's 16 & Pregnant)
What about the miriad of Say Yes to the Dress shows? Learn anything from that show?
Or the highly educational Sister Wives?
Ooohh! What about those Extreme Couponing weirdos?
I am sorry but, this whole damn network has gone straight in the toilet. They should be ashamed of what they put out in the name of Learning.
And that is my rant for the day.
p.s. It is also National Talk Like a Pirate Day! So get your Pirate name and wear a patch and say "Aaarrgh" in front of all your sentences. Have fun out there!
I agree - they can go! I watch nothing on that channel and would NOT mind not paying for it :)
ReplyDeleteNow, now. They DID give us the awesomeness of "My Big, Fat Gypsy Wedding."
ReplyDeleteI got a kick when TLC combined two of their niche subjects: Little people and cake shows to give us, "The Little Chocolateers."
Now see, Kelly Pie, you are right. About the Gypsy weddings, anyway. I took your recommendation and watched that show and just was addicted to it! But really, the rest of their programming?
ReplyDeleteSnoozefest.
Yes, without TLC we would have never known about the Gypsy weddings. Sadly, I'm hooked on it! ;-)
