This is Howie SUCK it

Last night, for some reason, I decided to attempt to watch the new nbc show "Howie Do It" and, i have to say, i was quite frustrated. For some reason, it is assumed that everybody loves Howie Mandel, and in actuality the only reason people like him is because he gives out numbered briefcases full of cash. What bothered me most was the obvious over-reactions by the studio audience. I'm somewhat used to this after shows like America's Funniest Home Videos, but in this case, it was just ridiculous. There's no way that these people honestly think these sketches are that funny. If so, these people need to get out or watch a movie or something. Or, maybe just change the channel to a different network.

I can't believe that NBC knows they're in last place in the networks and still they decide to pick up shows like this. The other networks don't always have gems, but at least they find what works for them and go with it. With ABC, it's gay hour long soap opera-like medical or "desprate-y housewive-y" shows; with CBS it's a bunch of the same mediocre sitcoms where they could swap scripts with any of the other shows of their type and it would effectively make no difference (although they've changed from their fat-guy-with-a-good-looking-wife days); FOX has aimed at the demographic of the working american who wants to come home, crack open a beer, and be able to laugh at something without processing it in his brain.

But with NBC, their anchor programs are Conan and Leno, with one night of the week set aside for quality shows. For some reason, i wouldn't be surprised if they canceled The Office or My Name Is Earl to make room for another reality show or...maybe...another show with Howie.

Enough about my frustrations about something i can't change. I'll take about something a little lighter...... um, wait, i've got nothing right now. Sorry.


You stay classy, San Diego.
