What's on TV isn't normal. What's on TV is out of the ordinary. That's why it is on TV and not our daily lives. We're too boring for TV, and that's fine by me.

Shows like this which I have no intention of watching, are popular with some people who can laugh at them and tell themselves - at least we aren't these people. I call it the Jerry Springer and Maury Povich effect. Shock Value.

I'll skip them all and stick to sports.

I wish I could find enjoyment in sports the way I used to. These days, athletes are a bunch of pampered, drug using thugs who cover their bodies with tattoos and will all but tell you it’s not cheating if you don’t get caught. How I long for the days of Larry Bird, Dr. J, Reggie White, Dale Murphy, and the like.
