TV Still Continues to Find Ways to Astound Me











Last night I happened upon one of the most hilarious TV programs that I have ever seen: The TV Land Awards. Here was a show that was based on giving TV shows that ran twenty or thirty years ago awards for being the shows that they were. Never mind the fact that all of the show were the ones that TV Land runs through syndication. I could only muster about 30 minutes of it, but in that time I got to see Home Improvement "win" a Fan Favorite Award and "Magnum P.I. "win" the Heroes award. I added the quotes around the word win because there weren't any other nominees besides the winner. It was like giving a lifetime achievement award to the cast of a 80's or 90's sitcom. I cannot truthfully say that I enjoyed the program, but it was like watching a train wreck featuring the cast members of shows I watched as a youth and young adult. It did, however, give me an idea for some awards. We could give the show Leave It to Beaver the Biggest Beaver Shot on TV Award, the show Saved by the Bell the Holy Crap, I've Seen that Chick's Bush in Showgirls Award, and the show Alf the Thing that Loves to Eat Pussy Cats Award. Damn, it seems that I only have one thing on my mind, and it's not TV Land.
