Hey Sidney Crosby!! Now that you've signed your big fat contract extension, how about that twenty bucks you owe me??

Just sayin'...

So, TV Land. Over the last couple of nights, we've watched two very similar shows, on two very different networks. I can't remember one of them, but one major network is running "Singing Bee", hosted by Joey Fat One, formerly of N'Sync fame.

The premise of that show, so to speak, involves a house band playing super-familiar songs, and contestants having to fill in missing lyrics, to compete for the eventual grand prize.

If you, like myself, consider Karaoke to be the downfall of modern civilization, let me just forewarn you - Karaoke will be a sweet delight after watching just a single episode of this televised fingernails-on-a-blackboard horror show.

The contestants on the episode we watched weren't just completely incapable of carrying a tune, they were all graduates of the Ham School Of Bad OverActing, which I suppose is kept extremely busy, what with the incessant release of all these horrific "reality" game shows.

On Fox last night, we caught a completely different game show, hosted by Wayne Brady. The idea on "Don't Forget The Lyrics" is that there's a house band playing super-familiar songs, and contestants have to fill in the missing lyrics, to compete for the eventual grand prize.

Hey, wait just a cotton-pickin' minute...

At least I can stomach Wayne Brady. Joey Fat One just reminds me of an old-time magician with that mock beard of his.

Chow for now!!
