What’s On TV: the Good, the Bad, and the Fugly Future
The Good & The Baddest of the Bad -Â Sarah Palin and William Shatner; wow, now there’s a bizarre duo. Shatner arrived on the Late Show with Conan O’Brien feeling spunky, and sat, reading a few choice passages from Palin’s autobiography, –why is it that these people say such astoundingly bizarre things when recounting all their adventures in life? Shatner read aloud to a jazzy beat-poetry background, passages about stalking sheep and even some about Kid Rock.
Well, rather than be shown up by the yester-year champion of Star Trek, idolized by Trekkies every, –Palin strolled out, grinning, with a copy of Shatner’s own autobiography. Palin, the champion of Alaskan conservatives everywhere, selected her own choice bits from Shatner’s autobiography, –about meeting an elephant in his pajamas, for instance.The jazzy beat poetry soundtrack played on, while Shatner looked around in deep chagrin, –needless to say, a fantastic scene of comeuppance.
The Future of Television Fugly – Nicole Richie and Ashlee Simpon, together on television, –god, how is it that these two were even allowed to have public careers, let alone star together? Paris Hilton‘s carefully selected ex-BFF was chosen no doubt to be a background to make her look better, –and it’s unfortunate that Jessica Simpson didn’t share any of her hottie-genes with her skinny, pinched-face sister.
The television show born from the mind of Nicole Richie is supposed to be a comedy… But so far, I don’t really see anything funny in any of this. Can’t these people stick to their non-reality shows about how hard it is to be rich, untalented nymphomaniacs?
