Depressing signs that evil is afoot

"According to Jim" has returned to air waves, yep, you read that right. Decent shows get cancelled but there are enough alcoholics and lonely people, who don't care what they're watching as long the TV is blaring, to keep this fecal matter on a major network.

I've tried to watch "ATJ" (i'm sure somebody calls it that, I hate you ) on several occasions and it's gawdawful torture, just 30 straight frigging minutes of sorrow and sadness. I cannot comprehend anyone who enjoys this, these same people must applaud at toilets flushing.

This kind of safe, laughless compost is exactly what is killing network TV.

Oh and I'm sure I have the rest of my life to see it on the Family channel, where it will get another season no doubt.

What the hell Jack Tripper?


One of the things I never liked about Three's Company was the treatment of Lana.
I can remember being 14 years old watching Jack run away from hot to trot neighbour Lana Shields with his tail between his legs and thinking "are you high?" The man was throwing away quality goods!
Sure, I was going through puberty at the time but I'm 38 now and I'd still totally get on that bus.

I always imagined that Larry and Lana hooked up a bunch of times, I betcha there's some fan fiction somewhere. There's fan fiction for everything these days...
