TV
link fest
|
June 2001
Since I have
nothing to say this evening, and in honor of all of the stupid TV
cliffhangers we were subjected to at the end of this year's weak
TV season, I will promote three very entertaining Web links related
to bad television.
In my dreams,
I would be employed as a writer for Mighty Big TV. How do they do
it??
Confidential
note to those of you "who never watch TV." I say: either
get over yourselves or stop lying. Channel flipping DOES count.
It's all I do, and I watch *plenty* of TV as a result.
Mighty Big TV: Television
without pity.
Just a phenomenal site that thumbs its nose at "concise Web
writing" for idiots with no attention span and thus provides
what is missing in essentially 100% of other sites: substantive
funny content, worth reading. Provides unspeakably funny recaps
of all your favorite crappy shows.
 Fametracker:
The Farmer's Almanac of celebrity worth.
Rightfully points out the distressingly undeserved fame of starlets
like Charlize Theron, period-piece twinkie and cover meat for men's
magazines like Details and Esquire. I believe this site is related
to Mighty Big TV. 2 Stars 1 Slot is particularly accurate in deflating
stars of marginal worth.
 Jump
The Shark.com:
From the site: "It's a moment. A defining moment when you
know that your favorite television program has reached its peak.
That instant that you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some
call it the climax. We call it jumping the shark. " A site
detailing the key moments when popular TV shows rounds the corner
toward crappidom. One of the signs: an appearance by Ted McGinley.
