The Boob Tube [C.S.I., Trading Spouses, And Dr. Phil]

By Bob D. Caterino
Nov. 7, 2005

I finally get to sit and watch some television. I have been so busy for a year or two that I had no time for the tube. I pop open a beer and sit on the couch. Man, oh man I forgot how comfy that feels. I unbutton my pants and the first thing I see is Homer Simpson sitting on the sofa drinking a beer. Such trash these kids are watching today. Where do they get that stuff from?

I flick some more and see that there is a show called C.S.I. This is a show about death and it is sort of a "who done it?" I'll just bet they come up with a solution before the hour is up. My wife tells me that the cops are all from other shows and movies. There is a red headed guy from "N.Y.P.D. Blue" Sergeant Dan" from that "Gump" movie and a host of unknowns. I'll bet you a buck they all have nothing on "Quincy".

Now I see a show called "Trading Spouses." Wasn't wife swapping a huge deal back in the seventies and eighties? - Survivor must have came from "Gilligan's Island" I am sure.

I am sick of recycling everything we once knew into something called a great new idea. "Seinfeld" used to be called "The Abbott and Costello Show" back in the fifties and all those shows that involve a husband and wife reminds me of every episode of the "Honeymooners". Nine out of ten movies are remakes and the one that isn't usually is a variation on a theme that once was. Now, don't get me started on the court shows. I think we should really sit back and judge Judy. Hatchet has a racket and Brown should get out of town, that freaking clown.

Everyone knows that sex tells which brings a whole new meaning to the "Boob Tube". Jiggle television is huge right now and whose bright idea was it to show big bosomed women as dumb people?

The news is all the same. When the news comes on all the stations flick and see if they all don't have the same story. What ever happened to "Man Bites Dog?" I personally want to see more freaks and little people. Maybe that's why we watch. We are waiting for the one show to dazzle us. We are afraid we will blink and miss the one thing that is original. When we finally get the one thing we are waiting for I'll just bet you, that either the President will wipe it out completely with one of his boring speeches or that it will be a two parter, and we all be sure to miss the second part. Oh, I have to go now, Dr. Phil is on. I know he will have all the answers for me and you. Oh crap, I forgot, ITS NOT ABOUT YOU.
