The season premiere of America's Got Talent was a mixed bag filled with cocky British judges, bad singers, sob stories and the occasional flashy outfit. I sifted through two hours of mediocre entertainment, anxiously awaiting the "real talent" to show itself. No puppeteers, no sh*tty freak shows, and if I saw one more person who thought they could dance I was going to punch my TV through the wall. To the outside observer, not only does America lack talent, we lack the wisdom to know better.
But I was rewarded for my patience. Not by the four-year-old girl who stole everyone's heart but by Derrick Barry.
This guy looks better than Britney on her best day, airbrushing and all. He may not be as talented as the blubbering opera singer or the vindicated baton twirler but man can he work a pair of leather pants. Finally a good excuse to shout out, Fierce Hot Tranny Mess!
Why is it that during the school year when I have no time there is so much good TV? So much so, that I find myself having to pick between shows that are on at the same time (obviously I DVR the other to watch after- it’s not like I actually have work to do or anything…). Yet in the summer when I have more time than I know what to do with, I am stuck with reruns and bad reality shows?
I have spent the past two weeks pondering the meaning of life (still no answer, but I’ll keep you posted) and trying to find something productive to do (yet somehow, I always end up on Facebook). But ultimately, I seem to always find myself parked on the couch night after night wasting away while watching these awful, absolutely abominable reality shows (I mean really, The Next Best Thing? America’s Got Talent? C’mon now. Sharon Osborne, I liked you when The Osborne’s first aired on MTV. But since then, well, you’ve been trying too hard to stretch your fifteen minutes of fame).
Sadly I continue to watch, all the while, wondering why I’m watching – because they are just sooo awful.
Well thank goodness for ABC! Wednesday just made my weeks a whole lot better. I finally have something to look forward to (wow, do I sound pathetic or what).
If you aren’t watching Traveler yet, start now. First, it’s an hour of great eye candy. Remember Ryan Atwood’s creepy, yet super sexy brother Trey from The OC? Well Logan Marshall Green is back. And this time around he is still sexy but a lot more likeable. Read More »
