Anti-Depressant

After the very depressing last post, I hope that this post will erase all the perception that I am actually in desperate need of an anti depressant. Cos I don't want no scrubs.

It was a very sad night for quality TV last night as reality TV plunges to a new low with the Mark Phillippousis' series Age Of Love. As if the premise of it was not insulting enough (pitches young "kittens" against mature "cougars"), we had to be confronted with an average tennis player way pass his prime looking for some quick buck to supplement his skirt chasing, booze and drug filled nights. I only saw the last part of it because my reality TV addict friend David asked me to. Mark had to eliminate one of the cougars last night and what got me was, every time he asked a contestant to step down, you could almost feel that he had to read the lines "You look very beautiful tonight." And he said that every single time, the bloody same line! Get a thesaurus and a life. Betcha Delta won't be watching this.....

If you think reality TV programs on free to air channels are bad, wait till you see the ones they are screening on cable. Here are a few reality classics which makes parting with $75 per month of your money worthwhile.

Who Wants To Be A Super Hero

"Each contestant begins with an original idea for a superhero, a self-made costume and their best superhero mojo. From thousands of hopefuls, Stan Lee chooses 11 lucky finalists, who move together into a secret lair. There they begin their transformations — and their competition for the opportunity to become real-life superheroes."

DELUSIONAL

Sunset Tan

"Despite being remarkably sunny in Los Angeles, not everyone can easily get tan. That's where Sunset Tan comes in. They are one of the most go-to tanning salons out there---and celebrities agree. Along with this new show, comes a new employee, Erin. Erin grew up in a small town and isn't exactly sure if the city is where she should be, because the employees even aren't all that smart...for example the Olly twins. Sunset Tan isn't small, and their business is expanding yearly."
SLIGHTLY MORE INTERESTING THAN WATCHING MY TOENAILS GROW.

My Bare Ladies

"CHANEL ST. JAMES, KIRSTEN PRICE, SASHA KNOX and NAUTICA THORN have proven they can do Dallas, but the question is, can they do SHAKESPEARE? The four X-rated ladies attempt to make the jump to legitimate acting when they perform at the famous Garrick Theater in London."

RIDICULOUS IDEA, but was fairly interesting......

Channel Nine must be shaking in its pants now that their much over hyped "All New Aussie Drama...*twink!* is languishing in the lower regions of the ratings game.

"The most expensive Aussie drama ever made, featuring lots of outdoor scenes and filmed on a de-commissioned naval ship is set to revolutionise Australian drama forever!" Yes, it will. It will be the most expensive lesson for Channel Nine ever.....I saw the first episode and lasted 15 minutes. 3 minutes into the 2nd episode and I started flicking channels. The cast don't look comfortable in their uniforms and I heard most of the crew were suffering seasickness during filming. It shows. Yawnnnn.....

Was a bit sick today so skipped work. This bloody cold weather's been getting to me this year, I used to embrace the cold, but seemed permanently glued to the heater this year. Must be getting old.....

Supposed to go archery classes tomorrow, will see how I feel. If I do go, will have photos to post here this weekend.
