Well, the writers are back and a fresh crop of old shows are hitting my Hidef. Time to weed the living from the dying. The first sign of a show that won’t make it or one that has made it but is on its last legs is the writing. I present below, Glebe’s selections for On Life Support and DOA.
On Life Support
Big Brother 9—the year of boring me to death by showing the same clips over and over.
Unfortunately, this show will continue to thrive because everyone wants to see other people make fools of themselves. The show is poorly produced and directed, evidenced in the way the same scenes are continually replayed which takes up about one half of the show. This season is the worst season ever—the people are all jerks—no one to root for....boring, boring, boring.
DOA (Dead on Arrival).Shows that will not survive beyond the spring and, if they do, it’s because the American public has taste up the kazoo.
Canterbury’s Law.
Great; another law show—this time with a woman with a back story. Her marriage is in trouble because she’s upset because her son was kidnapped three years ago and never found. Oh yeah, she had, or is having, or will not have an affair. I would guess that we would have to endure her nightmare every week. But the real problem is the writing and the story line are totally predictable and amateurish. Give us a break; find the kid, have an affair, cancel the show.
Can’t wait for The Office, The Tudors, Friday Night Lights, The Brotherhood, Rescue Me, among others.
Glebe out.

The trouble with hookers
Everyone has it wrong. Everyone is condemning Elliot Spitzer, guv of New York, for being a hypocrite, a liar and an infidel. They say that everything he stood for has been violated by this single wanton act. (Actually, the only people that are saying it is his political opposition—everyone else is just listening).
They’ve got the wrong problem. His political career is in the tank but he will get over it. First of all, everyone in politics has been with a hooker, or is one, or both. So there is no real moral issue—at least no public one.
The real problem is that he paid $4300 for a few hours with a hooker. Jeez!. Forty three hundred dollars? That will screw up the economy even further. The rate of inflation will soar and hookers all over America have just got a huge raise. Let me speak in economic terms—when you get right down to it, a hooker is a commodity. The market sets the rates and the product, within normal bounds is about the same. Ok, there should be a diff between a streetwalker and a high priced call girl—but $4300?
The economic implications are enormous—Bernake will stop lowering interest rates and the Dow will plummet and everyone who needs a hooker for relaxation will no longer be able to afford one. Pretty soon, people will stop paying for hookers and there will be fewer on the market, creating an imbalance between supply and demand. Prices will soar as the market dries up. Pretty soon, no one will be on the streets and no one will be answering the phones.
That’s not all, the Guv really screwed up his personal situation—his wife will probably get over it—he will be in the Hole for a long while. But will his kids be the same? They will have to relearn the value of the dollar.
He cannot turn them down when they ask for an allowance of, say, $600 a week, or $350 for the movies and a burger afterwards. He will never be able to turn down any request as being too expensive or frivolous. He really screwed himself and the economy.
I wish that it hadn’t happened—that it’s all a bad dream, a mistake, that he paid only $43 for the hooker. Most of all, right now, I wish that I were one of the Guv’s kids.
