Failing to come up with anything even remotely close to interesting this morning, I have decided to discuss a couple of TV shows that we watched last night. They may not have even been broadcast yesterday. They could have been from several days ago. That doesn’t diminish the power I wield, to write about them today as I choose to do. I call the shots around here, bucko…

Anyhoo, first up, the dismal current season of Nashville Star. More accurately, Nashville LED Light. A fridge bulb has more wattage than this year’s crop of contenders. We’ve enjoyed this show since it first burst onto the scene, on some obscure network, with no measurable amount of viewership.

Since hitting the big time and getting picked up by NBC, this has become a sanitized presentation of pale Taylor Swift & Carrie Underwood wannabes, with no visible superstar in the offing at the end of the day. Sure, we like a couple of the performers, but will a win on this production count for anything? Has anyone heard from the last three winners?

I didn’t think so…

The second show I intend on yapping about is Canada’s very own How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria. Down to the final four contestants, next week’s broadcast will see Andrew Lloyd Weber join the program, to help whack through the remainders, until an official Sound Of Music lead actress is found. How did multi-million dollar stage productions ever make a go of it, before reality TV existed, I often wonder? Well, maybe not all THAT often, but I do wonder…

We’ve been enjoying this program, and find that even the contenders kicked off could have given anyone on Nashville Star a run for their money this year. Harsh? Yeah, that’s just how I run…

And while I’m at it, what is the deal with Dalmatians? Why do they get to be so exotic and multi-coloured? Pick a colour, black or white, and be a dog like every other breed!!!

Ugh…

Chow for now!!
