I love Daytime TV

GOULET

I'm so excited. Channel 48 has revamped up it's programming and substituted Golden Girls & All in the Family for more current re-runs such as News Radio & Married with Children. When I was the ripe age of 10 I loved Golden Girls (cuz i was the target market?). I watched it every saturday night at 9 but as I got older the show pretty much has me sickened to my stomache. Yey, I can look forward to having sex in my 50's. Boo, that I can look forward to having sex in my 50's.

Fifty year old men have sex yes but with who? I don't know Michael Douglas, how old is Catherine? Women on the other hand in their 50's have sex with men in their 50's. Yes, Demi is rocking it out with Ashton but give them 10 years. I also want to point out that they are all celebrities... which are pretty much glorified facsimiles of regular people. I don't believe that Demi is real. or at least that her breasts are. I'm not convinced that after the age of 40 and 3 Kids your boobs would really stand up on their own.

So as the growing nausea for the Golden Girls reached it's pinnacle, the show has been replaced by old standards such as News Radio, Married with Children and drumroll please................... Beverly Hills 90210!

I have reached a new appreciation for Married with Children. When the show first came out back in the day, I remember watching the show & thinking it played down to the audience's intelligence and illustrated what a idiotic nation the states was. It didn't help that the programming was coupled with the onslaught of trash TV talk shows such as Ricki Lake, Jerry Spring & Jenny and these shows just perpetuated the stereotype of our neighbors to the south.

After not seeing this show for several years, I've realized I have a new appreciation for this show that I had never noticed before. I don't know if it's because I'm older & have a different perspective, I've lost IQ points or that through my experiences, I've become a cynical, bitter person... It's probably a combination of the all of the above.

There is definately a certain level of cynacism in these episodes that I appreciate. Each time I watch it I get a tiny snear across my face & find myself shaking my head in the absurdity of it all. It's essentially a mochary of married life & all it encompasses. Seeing the wonderful transgression of my family these past 10 years & meeting all of the wonderful men recently have fabricated a dark cloak of anger that can only be brought out through cynacism.

Yes, this show is in your face & if you take it for face value, you are mildly retarded. Without the constant outside influences of trash TV, I can see the comedy of it all.

This leaves one question being begged to ask. If we almost rid ourselves of trashy talk shows, we have smart funny shows (sans syndicated aforementioned) WHY but oh WHY is the world obsessed with Paris Hilton. If she was anymore absurd, she'd be a cartoon.
